48 Inch Tow-Behind Spike Aerator for Mowers
Cover lawns, fields, and commercial turf faster with a 48 in. spike aerator built for riding mower tow-behind work.
The Maxim 48 in. tow-behind spike aerator helps open compacted soil so oxygen, water, and nutrients can reach grass roots without leaving plugs scattered across the turf. It is a practical choice for sandy soils, smaller acreage, golf-course-style turf care, and property owners who want a cleaner finish than plug aeration.
The 48 in. working width and 102 welded steel tines let operators cover more ground behind a riding lawn mower. For tougher soil penetration, the drum accepts up to 32 gal. of water for 267 lb. of added ballast, while the transport wheels help move the unit between work areas.
A rotating tow bar lets the drum lower for aeration or raise for transport. Greasable ball bearings on the 1 in. drum shaft support repeated seasonal use, and the tow-behind mount keeps setup straightforward for mower-based lawn maintenance.
Maxim 48 in. Tow-Behind Spike Aerator Key Features
48 in. Aerating Width
Covers larger lawn and turf areas efficiently behind a riding mower, reducing passes compared with narrower aerators.
102 Welded Steel Tines
Spike tines slice holes into the turf and push soil aside, helping air, water, and nutrients reach the root zone.
Ballast-Ready Drum
Add up to 32 gal. of water for an additional 267 lb. of weight when deeper penetration is needed in thicker soils.
Clean No-Plug Aeration
Spike aeration avoids leaving plugs of grass and dirt behind, making it useful where a cleaner surface finish matters.
Transport Position
The tow bar rotates to lower the drum for aeration or raise it for transport between areas.
Serviceable Shaft Support
A 1 in. drum shaft with greasable ball bearings supports seasonal maintenance and repeated use.
