40 in. Tow Behind Plug Aerator with Weight Tray and Universal Hitch

This dethatcher is simply awesome! I haven't dethatched my yard in 10 years. It pulled up so much thatch I was shocked. Takes about 30 mins or so to put together with a couple wrenches. Pretty easy. The price is beyond amazing and the quality is right in lar too. Definitely recommend!

Waited until three days after rains. Weighted down with sons dumbbell set. 1.5 to 2 inch penetration. Only question is how long will the plastic bushings last? Would definitely purchase again and recommend to others.

This took some time to put together. My husband spent about 4 hours on it using socket wrenches and no drill. After the set up was complete he used it right away on our lawn. We were amazed at its performance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this aerator a while back, and we only recently used it. After one use, we could tell that this product is high quality.

I live in the Minnesota Arrowhead, far away from anywhere with a rental core aerator. My lawn has a high clay content and a lot of rock between 1/4" and 1/2" diameter. The previous owners of our home used the lawn at a high frequency and the soil was very, very compacted. After researching many different brands and models I ultimately decided on Brinly as the reviews are generally very positive, spare parts are readily available, and I have bought their products in the past with great results. Out of the box, the aerator did take quite a bit of time to assemble, nothing overly difficult, but took maybe 1-2 hours. In use I did not encounter any issues with the wheel lifting travel bar getting shaken off the pin that holds it in place like some reviews mention. I also found the steel to be of adequate size and strength to lift the aerator fully loaded (and I may have even been slightly overloaded, not that I recommend that). I recommend cutting some cardboard from the box and placing it in the weight tray as a paint protector. Some things I feel that are important to point out: Prior to using this, the moisture content of your lawn is extremely important, especially with clay. The directions even call out that if the soil is too dry it will crumble instead of pulling a nice plug, and if its too wet, the ground will tear instead of pulling a nice plug. Soil moisture content is key. Also, the plugging spoons on this aerator are smaller than you may expect compared to a commercial aerator. The cores are closer to 1/4" where a commercial aerator might be closer to 1/2". I'm sure this is because this unit can not be weighted down enough to pull a bigger core. That's not a huge deal. After thoroughly saturating my lawn (even over saturating in some spots) the aerator did penetrate the compacted rocky clay pretty nicely. To be extra clear, this is the hardest lawn I've ever been on and it's rocky. I would say that I averaged plugs between 1-1/2" to 2-1/2". In a lawn with less clay and rocks I know that they could have averaged higher. I was very pleased with the strength of the plugging spoons. There was no visible damage or bending due to rocks, which was one of my biggest concerns before purchasing. There were some rocks that got stuck in the spoons, but that's unavoidable. It would be sensible to stop every few rounds and clear them. I did perform this aeration this fall, and will likely have to wait until next spring to see the real benefits. I can say after using liquid aeration products on a regularly scheduled basis this year, I do recommend mechanical aeration as well if you are facing a more severe case of compaction. I'm happy I bought this and used it to alleviate those severe areas. Overall I'm happy with my purchase, it's a well built, quality product, it does what it's supposed to do, and the price is extremely competitive compared to a renting a core aerator (which again, was not an option for me.) I will remind people that lawn moisture content is key when using this tool, and also I would recommend going over the area a few more times due to the smaller spoon size. In my research and experience I am confident that you can not go over your lawn too many times with this tool, I ran it over a 5,000 SF area for 1-1/2 hours or so and had no severe damage to the existing turf. I recommend purchasing this unit over renting a core aerator if you have the space to store it and a tractor to pull it, even in my extremely compacted rocky clay.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome unit. Last year we had a professional aerate the yards, left large holes and huge plugs all over the lawn looked like a mess for weeks till they broke down. This year I decided to try doing it myself and purchased the Binly Aerator Plug. HELL yes I was impressed works like a charm on the back of he lawn tractor, nice even holes throughout the lawns smaller plugs that disappeared (broke down) within a day or two and lawn looks 100 % better than ever before. Neighbors are amazed of the difference in lawn thickness and how green it became and how all the weeds seemed to be chocked out. Got this unit on sale which made it a win - win for us. Great product wouldn't be without it now, don't pass it up if your thinking of it. don't think act now. Thanks for an awesome product that WORKS!

It took time to put together, GET PAST THAT.. how does it WORK is what you want. Well I loaded mine 2 cement bricks, 40lb cat litter in center and two bags of mulch. Yes a bit much but im in Charlotte and my soil right now is like concrete. Im pulling this with a Snapper rear engine 12HP. Rode on slow speed and LOVED IT. Check my pics out. Remember DO NOT BASH PRODUCT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO ASSEMBLE...I have more pics but could only do one.

I used this on my backyard, which, for one is very compacted. Also, it’s not very level. This exceeded my expectations. My local Home Depot assembled it for me and a wheel did fall off during use but did not impact the performance. You can see in the pictures the size of the plugs which varied due to my unlevel backyard. Looking forward to using it in the front yard which is more level.

All the bolts and nuts came in the box instructions were easy to follow and it worked as advertised pulling out plugs from the soil held 150 pounds and is extremely stable made out of solid steel very satisfied with the purchase however it does say that the spikes are tempered but the very first time that I used it the black paint came off the tip of every single spike still operates as advertised but I thought the paint would last longer I also went over rocks and roots and it did not bend or snap any of the spikes

Easy Assembly, Took about 30 min. Used some blocks for weight ensure plug penetration. Pulled behind my ATV/D140 mower with ease. Would Definitely buy again. Really helped with the compacted soil/yard
