Description
Improve soil health, enhance root development, and maximize nutrient absorption with the Yard Tuff 5 ft. 3-Point Drum Spike Aerator. Designed for compatibility with Category 1 tractors (16–50 HP), this high-performance aerator features a 60-inch working width and 126 steel spikes, each 3 inches long, that penetrate up to 2.5 inches deep into the ground.
Built tough with powder-coated heavy-duty steel, the aerator is corrosion-resistant and engineered for long-lasting outdoor use. The 40-gallon steel drum can be filled with water to increase the weight to over 390 lb., allowing for deeper spike penetration and more effective soil aeration, particularly in loose or sandy soils.
Retractable support feet protect the spikes during transport or storage, extending their lifespan and making this aerator a reliable addition to your land management equipment.
