48-Inch 3-Point Plug Aerator for Compacted Lawns

Core aeration for clay soils, larger lawns, and compacted ground behind a compatible tractor.

The Maxim 48-inch 3-point hitch plug aerator is built for properties where surface spiking is not enough. Its spoon-style plug tines remove soil cores to help air, water, and nutrients reach the root zone, which supports healthier turf recovery after compaction.

The steel drum accepts up to 32 gallons of water ballast for added down pressure when working tougher soil. A 1-inch drum shaft with greasable ball bearings supports the drum, while replaceable spoons make long-term maintenance more practical than a throwaway tine setup.

This model is designed around a 48-inch working width with 102 plug tines, transport-only pneumatic tires, and a tow-behind, 3-point hitch mounting setup for larger residential, acreage, and grounds-care jobs.

Maxim 48-Inch 3-Point Plug Aerator Key Features

Plug-style aeration
Removes soil cores instead of only slicing the surface, helping relieve compaction in clay-heavy and high-traffic lawns.

48-inch working width
Covers more ground per pass for acreage, estates, and larger turf areas where a narrow walk-behind unit would be slow.

Water-ballast drum
Add up to 32 gallons of water for approximately 267 lb of extra working weight when deeper penetration is needed.

Replaceable spoons
Serviceable plug spoons let you maintain core-removal performance without replacing the entire aerator.

Greasable drum support
A 1-inch drum shaft with greasable ball bearings supports the aerator drum for routine service.

3-point hitch mounting
Built for tractor use with a tow-behind, 3-point hitch configuration and transport tires for moving between work areas.
