Agri-fab Incorporated 45-0544KD Spike Aerator 40 in

Product Description

The AGRI-FAB INCORPORATED 45-0544KD is a 40-inch spike aerator designed to improve lawn health by mechanically perforating compacted soil. As spikes penetrate the ground, they open channels that allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone more effectively. This unit is tow-behind style, intended for use with a riding mower or garden tractor. At 43 pounds, it provides enough weight to drive spikes into firm soil without additional ballast in most conditions. Licensed landscapers and grounds maintenance professionals are the primary installers and operators of this equipment.

This aerator is suited for residential and light commercial lawn applications where soil compaction reduces turf quality. It is most commonly deployed in spring, when winter conditions have left soil dense and root systems are beginning active growth. The 40-inch working width makes it practical for medium to large lawn areas, reducing the number of passes required to cover open turf. It ships as a single unit and is assembled before use.

Installation Notes

Assembly and attachment should be performed by a qualified operator following the manufacturer-supplied instructions included with the unit.
