Tow-Behind Spike Aerator, Water-Fillable Drum\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWelded steel tines slice into the turf and displace soil laterally rather than extracting cores, so nothing is left on the surface after a pass. The 48 in. width covers ground quickly behind a riding mower or utility vehicle, making it a fit for golf courses, sports fields and maintained turf where cleanup time or visible debris is a constraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe drum accepts up to 32 gallons of water for 267 lbs of added ballast, driving the tines into firmer soil. Fill volume is adjustable to suit conditions. Rotating the tow bar lowers the drum into the working position or raises it for transport between areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpiking displaces rather than removes soil, so turf recovers faster than after core aeration, with correspondingly less compaction relief. Sandy and lighter soils suit this method best. The drum turns on a 1 in. shaft with greasable ball bearings, and 410\/350-4 two-ply tires handle transport only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3
