Description

The PlantCraft Tow Behind Lawn Plug Aerator is a powerful, time-saving solution for anyone wanting healthier, thicker, and greener lawns. Built with a rugged steel frame and protected by a rust-resistant powder-coat finish, this aerator is made to handle tough ground and frequent use. Its coring plugs penetrate up to 3 inches (76 mm) deep, helping your lawn absorb more water, air, and fertiliser at the root zone where it matters most.

Wide 10″ pneumatic tyres prevent damage to your lawn while towing, and the aerator operates efficiently at speeds of up to 8 km/h, allowing you to cover large areas quickly. The universal hitch pin makes it easy to attach to ride-on mowers, garden tractors, and ATVs, giving you total flexibility.

For extra power on compacted or clay-heavy soil, the aerator can be loaded with additional weight—up to 50 kg—to increase penetration. The 24 coring blades are fully removable for sharpening or replacement, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent results.

Regular aeration improves water and nutrient uptake, boosts oxygen levels, reduces thatch build-up, and promotes a lush, resilient lawn. PlantCraft helps you achieve professional results while saving time, effort, and long-term lawn maintenance costs.
