Description

The AGRI-FAB INCORPORATED 45-0299 is a 48-inch tow-behind plug aerator built to improve soil penetration across large lawn and turf areas. The unit features a weight tray rated for up to 140 pounds of added ballast, allowing the operator to increase downforce on compacted or clay-heavy soils. Hollow plug tines pull soil cores from the ground as the aerator is towed, improving air, water, and nutrient movement to grass root zones. At 94 pounds, the unit is substantial enough to hold its position on uneven terrain during operation.

This aerator is suited for residential and light commercial turf maintenance applications. It is designed to be towed behind a standard lawn or garden tractor and covers a 48-inch working width per pass, making it practical for mid-to-large residential lots and sports turf. The weight tray accommodates standard cinder blocks or purpose-built ballast weights to optimize tine penetration depth based on soil conditions. Installation and operation are typically handled by grounds maintenance professionals or experienced property owners with compatible towing equipment.
