Agri-Fab Lawn Sweeper Brush Kit

A plug aerator removes actual cores of soil from your lawn, which is significantly more effective at relieving soil compaction than a spike aerator, which simply pushes the soil aside. This process allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone directly, promoting deeper root growth.

While the unit can operate without added weight, using the weight tray is highly recommended for hard or compacted soil. You can add up to 175 lbs of weight, such as concrete blocks or sandbags, to help the galvanized knives penetrate the ground to the necessary depth.

This is a universal tow-behind unit designed to attach to most riding mowers, lawn tractors, or ATVs with a standard hitch. As long as your vehicle has a hitch point and sufficient power to pull the unit, it should be compatible.

The cantilever transport lever allows you to easily raise the aerator knives off the ground when you are moving the unit across driveways, sidewalks, or other non-grass surfaces. This prevents damage to both your equipment and your hardscaping.

Yes, the 10-inch tires are flat-proof, meaning they are solid or semi-solid rather than pneumatic. You will never need to worry about checking tire pressure or dealing with punctures while working on your lawn.

For most residential lawns, aerating once a year is sufficient, ideally during the peak growing season when the grass can recover quickly. If your soil is heavily compacted or has high clay content, you may benefit from aerating twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.
