Product Description
If heavily compacted or clay-rich soil is choking your lawn, then the Brinly 40" Towable plug aerator is your solution for healthy, lush grass. Many landscapers & gardeners don’t realize that lawn aeration is a vital step to a beautiful yd. Without it, a lawn's roots can be deprived of air & needed nutrients. Unlike spike aerating - which slices grooves in the soil - plug aeration actually extracts soil plugs to open spaces for roots to expand & to allow air, water, & fertilizers to get to the root system. After aerating, the soil "plugs" Are left behind on the lawn to break down & Return vital nutrients back into the soil, promoting healthy growth. Indiana-based brinly-hardy company has been manufacturing quality lawn & garden attachments since 1839 taking the work out of DIY yd. maintenance only gets more effortless with each Brinly product in our broad line of durable attachments. The best yd. require the best tools-- get a yd. like the pros with Brinly!

1) Great quality heavy duty steel construction, made in America.
2) Fairly easy to assemble.
3) Solid good size tray for loading weight to adjust pressure/depth of aeration (instructions suggest concrete blocks or sand bags but we used plastic tote filled with water).
4) Well designed hitch for attaching to garden tractor/riding lawnmower and includes the hitch pin with cotter pin.
5) Solid tough wheels for moving aerator when not aerating soil (like moving over driveway)
6) Tows well behind the mower, and follows well.
7) Works equally well forward and reverse (we have a few difficult corners on our property and simply backed into/out of the tough spots)
8) Included hardware seems high quality. Nylon locking nuts, heavy oversized nuts and bolts for wheels.
9) All pieces were in the box.
I put about 120lbs of blocks in it and it took to the yard quite well. Everyone's lawn/dirt is different, so what works for one person may not for another or you might not need much weight if you have looser soil. My yard has been established for 20 years and I suspect never aerated. The ground is hard and I don't have a lot of soil above clay. This puppy still did the trick and I was pleased with the consistency overall.
It's easy to store and attach up to my tractor. I'll probably take some rubber mats and glue down to keep scratches from blocks causing me rust. Nothing else that I can see needed with this. Of course, I've only run it once over about 1/2 acre so far. If I have problems on the rest of the yard/in the future, I'll update this review.
Assembly was pretty much what you'd expect, I found the directions to be well written and easily understandable. My kit came with WAY to many parts - I thought I missed a step or two but after reviewing all steps again, it was clear they just plain put too many nuts/bolts/washers in the box. I guess better too may than not enough. All the spares went into the spare parts bin for the next project. The spoons (for lack of better term? ) are fairly annoying to assemble. I struggled with the first two or three until I found a system and the best way to position my tools so I can hold on to everything and apply the appropriate torque. Once I got the positioning right, the rest came on with ease but were still tedious. The whole assembly took me 2.5 hours max and that was with the wife yelling at me to come in for dinner!
This thing hooked up to my riding mower without issues and I was able to aerate my lawn without any trouble. I even found time to run over the neighbors lawn without issue. For weight I put a big heavy chain I had in the garage and a couple bags of top soil I had. I don't think I had enough weight but I still got 2" - 3" of penetration and the lawn cores are clearly visible on my lawn. Next year I will buy cement blocks and apply the appropriate weight to ensure a more even use of the tool.
Afterwards I spayed it down with the hose to remove any dirt for storage and found no visible damage, everything still looks new. Color me impressed! I plan on running this again in the spring and after that unless something is wrong with the unit that I cannot see, it should be the same results as this time. Very happy with the purchase and feel its a good value for the money spent.
