Easy to assemble and easy to use
After looking at 5 or 6 different spike aerators the Brinly was the right pick The 3D spikes were the main reason. These spikes made a much more visible cut in the soil which should provide better aeration of the soil and more room for seed, fertilizer and water.

Excellent piece of equipment for the price.
I bought a 40” spike aerator to prepare my lawn for reseeding. It did a great job slitting and braking up the soil on my 1/2 acre lot. I was very impressed with the quality and performance and it’s American made. Very pleased with this purchase.

Works Perfectly
Received this aerator a couple weeks ago. Unbox it and was super easy to assemble. (Careful those tines are super sharp). Hooked it up to my lawn tractor, added 3 large building bricks to weigh it down. Used bungees to secure bricks...and off I went. Very pleased how it worked. Went over entire lawn twice. Plan on using it quarterly. Well made product that really works. A+ .

Great low cost aerator
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a lot of clay soil. Now I can aerate before I put down fertilizers. Now my yard is looking good even with this early heat

Hello Chris and thank you for your comments. The 3-D galvanized steel tines will penetrant 2.5 inches into the soil when the conditions are good. We recommend the best time to aerate is a couple of days after a rain episode has occurred. This will allow for maximum soil penetration and aerification of the soil. Please reach out to us so we can better understand the issue and environment you may be dealing with. You can reach us at 877-728-8224, or email us at customerservice@brinly.com. We look forward to helping you! Brinly

works well so far
I have used the aerator several times and very pleased. I dropped some fertilizer and was very pleased. I do wish the axle bolts were stronger, when the hopper is loaded I could see the wheels spread outward. This could be a weak point, otherwise very happy.

    Easy to operate
    Recently I bought the above and started using it yesterday: Installation - easy Operation - easy to connect to lawn mower. We added one hollow block on top and pull it behind while cutting the grass. Did not affect the grass mower exercise. However when I try to reverse the lawn mower, the aerator moved at an angle and almost puncture the rear tire of the lawn mower. The aerator had to be in straight line with the lawn mower. This is the only problem we faced. How effective? We have to wait and see!

    Easy self assembly . Cheaply made.. Screws together ,not bolted. Flemsy ..It does a lot of flexing and bowing but did function. Guessing it will be a short lifespan product. Does not like surface tree roots.

    Hello Matt and thank you for your comment. We think you will find that your aerator functions very well and for many years. The aerator is all steel; flexing in this case is a good thing as it prevents breakage. Regardless, you aerator is covered by a two year warranty, so let us know if that's not the case. You can call us at 877-728-8224, email us at customerservice@brinly.com, or live chat with us on www.brinly.com. We look forward to helping you! Brinly

      Easy set up and gets the job done
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 40 in. Tow-Behind Spike Aerator with 3D Galvanized Stars yes it gets the tough jobs done. The 40 inch tow -behind spike aerator is large enough to get the job done faster than others. I have used it in the past. It fits all models with rear hitch plate and easy to install. Weight can be easily add to it. This allows seed and fertilizer to get down to the roots. It is very durable and looks to last for years.

        works great
        I bought this because I notice water on my lawn was not goin down the ground. It did improve the soil. I would highly recommended. I wish they would sell a safe cover for the spike when storing. Have to always keep an eye out when kids go in storage.

        Super easy to assemble, even easier to use. I used 4 cinder blocks one mine, but prob could have worked just as fine with 3. Well made and should hold up for years.
