Agri-Fab (48") Tow Behind Plug Aerator

Over the course of the summer a lawn starts to become compact because of weekly mowing. Aerating your lawn in the best remedy to de-compact your soil allowing water, nutrients and minerals to reach the roots. The 32 galvanized knives will penetrate the soil and remove a 3 inch plug from the ground to allow your yard to “breathe.” The Agri-Fab 48” Plug aerator is the best tool for the job when trying to create a healthy lawn.

The Agri-Fab 48" Aerator arrived quickly and in perfect condition - the box was not torn or damaged despite the heavy weight. See attached photo. I took my time assembling the aerator and didn't run into any problems. All the nuts/bolts/washers were packaged in plastic wrap and nothing was missing. Total time was 2 hours. The instructions were easy to follow.

I put the maximum amount of weight on the tray of the aerator and pulled it with my JD X750 over 2 acres of grass. 2 hours later I had a lawn covered in perfectly shaped grass plugs 3" to 4" long. The plugs broke apart and were mostly gone after 4 to 5 weeks. My lawn was planted 17 years ago and has never been aerated - it now looks better than it ever has and when it rains the water drains quickly into the clay soil. I had great results with the Agri-Fab 48" Aerator.

I received a used and damaged aerator un-assembled about 2 weeks ago. I was amazed by the huge mistake after reading so many convincing reviews on this product. Long story short when I try to return they aerator, they take away 25% of the cost I paid as it was broken in a weld spot and clearly shown it was a return and used prior to opening the box.

The customer service is fishy and I'm not sure I'll ever get my money back and until I do this remains my 1st experience with this company.

Overall my unprofessional and unleaded as a customer who paid over $250 for, in hopes of a treating working tool in pieces.

First of all, this company gets things to you fast. I ordered a power washer and this particular aerator, and both were here within 3 days of the order (and both with free shipping). The aerator is a heavy-duty machine.

In most instances, you will need to add weight, but once you put on anywhere from half to the full weight they recommend, it cores about as well as the power aerators and is much easier to use.

It corners alright, with just a bit of drag on a tight turn, but it is 48 inches wide, so I can forgive that. A warning. This is a heavy machine. I put it together by myself on a bench and it was all I could do to get it off without jabbing myself. It wasn't simply the weight (about 100 pounds or more) but working around the knives.

And even the mechanically skilled will take every bit of 2 hours to put this together. However, get a beer, tea or coffee and be methodical and it is fine. And the instructions were very easy to follow. I will follow up when I've had it awhile and see how it lasts.

Well built, does a great job.

Instructions to assemble were great, being clear and well written. Not hard to assemble but takes time. The manufacturer cut no corners being all heavy guage steel. Works well now, I hope my lawn enjoys it as well. I would recommend this product to a friend again. Shipping box was a little beat up but all was well inside. Shipping was fast.

Easy to assemble, but it does take a little time. Performance exceeded all expectations. Uniformly pulled 3" plugs with 100lbs of sandbags on the shelf. No more paying someone else to aerate the yard.

I bought this after reading the reviews and it has performed well. Time will tell for durability, but so far so good! It did take some time to assemble, but I had some helpers to make it quicker. The time consuming part is putting the knives on the axle mounts, but we did a little assembly line and knocked it out quickly. I used 3 concrete blocks for weights and will probably use a 4th next time. Aerated a day after a nice rain and it easily pulled plugs all day. I have 3 acres and used a zero turn to pull it while mowing at the same time.

I reside in RI and manage an acre of landscaping. In years past, I have rented a power aerator for fall over seeding, and if you have ever used one of these machines, it essentially beats the life out of you as they are heavy and unwieldy. Well, I decided to check into an aerator attachment for my tractor, and based on reviews on Mowers Direct, I chose the 48" Agri-Fab tow behind plug aerator.

Long story short, it is amazing!!!!! Easy to assemble (be careful as the plug blades are razor sharp!) and appears very sturdy. It took me all of 1 and 1/2 hours to aerate about 25,000 sf and could not have been easier! Pulled nice and consistent 2"+ plugs with little effort! In the past, using power aerator, it took all day to complete and my body was sore for 3 days! This is by far the BEST piece of lawn equipment I have ever purchased!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

New - needed to get my yard aerated. I got several quotes, and it would cost the same as buying one! This made our decision easy!! It works great!!! I would recommend!!!

The Agri-fab 45-0299 worked very well on my yard. I used it after a rainfall, and the plugs would come out 1" 2" and 3" depending on how soft the ground was. I have no complaints and I think it should hold up for a long time. It seams to be very well built.
