Product Overview
Brinly’s 40 in. Tow-Behind Aerator-Spreader enables you to aerate and spread fertilizer or seed simultaneously. The aerator’s steel spikes perforate the ground while the 40 in. drop spreader puts seed, lime or fertilizer directly into the soil where it works fast and can’t wash away. This durable, hard-working tool is built tough with its heavy duty tubular steel frame and drawbars. The aerator’s galvanized 8-tine steel stars stay sharp, won’t rust and achieve a penetration depth of up to 2 in. Made from 18-Gauge all-welded steel, the 100 lb. hopper minimizes twisting and flexing. Aerate and spread in a single pass. Brinly attachments help you get more work done in less time.

Questions & Answers

For this work with John Deere x310?
Asked by Gardengirl October 3, 20201
AnswerThank you for your question. The AS-40BH will attach to your X300 with a hitch pin. Please refer to your owner's manual of the X300 to confirm its towing compacity.
Will this unit connect to the Toro zero turn model75759
Asked by Herb September 29, 20201
Answeryes it will.
Can you just spread with this product?
Asked by JW September 21, 20202
AnswersYes you can, however the agitator is driven by the tines. To spread without any noticeable aeration, you would simply not add additional weight, and choose a time when the ground isn't terribly soft to minimize the tine penetration. You will achieve very even spread performance because unlike a wheel-driven unit, the tines won't skid or slip. Also, keep in mind that there is really no downside to more frequent spike-type aeration; it can be done many times during the year to keep your lawn healthy. We of course do not recommend this product for use on pavement. Good luck with your project!
Work this work with John Deere e120 lawn tractor?
Asked by LC August 14, 20201
AnswerYes, this will work with your Garden Tractor. It will come with a universal hitch pin that allows you to attach the aerator to your Garden Tractor.
Can you add weights
Asked by LC August 14, 20203
AnswersYes, you can add weight. We used to offer a kit with a steel tray that bridged across the hopper in the center to be able to put weight on it. It is no longer available, but you can accomplish this with a notched board that slips over the top edge of the hopper and secured.

First off, thank you so much for having the majority of the aerator built! Second the bolts, nuts and other components were listed and labeled in the exact order, amazing!! Left no reason to guess or be confused. The instructions were also self explanatory along with illustrations. My husband and I knocked this out in 15 minutes, thanks to Brinkly! It’s also USA made. I highly recommend this. We are already the envy of the neighborhood!

Customer review from brinly.com 
Took 1 hr to assemble. Instructions could be better. Noticed handle would work it’s way towards closed position. Clamped on a vise grip players to hold in place. After spreading 5 acres of land washed and cleaned and then tightened handle spring to make handle harder to move.
Worked great and saved my back form my old push spreader. Very nice for the price

To quote my wife this Brinly Spreader is Amazing !! We absolutely love this attachment for our garden tractor. Very easy to assemble and easy to operate. READ and FOLLOW the instructions !! Love it so much that we are thinking of buying a second one and modifying the hopper so we can use it as a top soil spreader. Worked GREAT !!! LOVE IT !!!!

November 22, 2020
Used product once..... the design of the wheels caused the bolt to tighten on one of the wheels as it tightened it punctured the chain casing causing it to break and chain pop off not allowing the mechanics do what they're supposed to to spread the seed
Works As I Expected

Customer review from brinly.com
I bough my 40" aerator/spreader a few months ago. Putting it together was not as difficult as I thought it would be by some of the reviews. It worked well the few times I have used it. I waited until rain had softened the ground and had no problem. Still relatively new at this time. I will assess later after more usage.
Great features
