Preparing for Aeration
- Ensure the aerator is properly assembled and securely attached to your towing vehicle.
- Add appropriate weight to the tray (up to 140 lbs) based on your soil type. More weight is needed for compacted or dry soil.
- Clear the lawn of any obstacles, rocks, or debris that could damage the aerator or be propelled during operation.
- For best results, aerate when the soil is moist but not saturated. This allows the coring points to penetrate effectively and pull plugs.
Aerating the Lawn
Engage the aerator by lowering the coring points into the ground using the lift handle release system. Drive your tractor at a consistent, moderate speed across the lawn. Overlap passes slightly to ensure complete coverage. The 24 galvanized steel coring points will pull plugs of soil, creating channels for air, water, and nutrients.

Transporting the Aerator
When moving the aerator to and from the work area, or between sections of your lawn, use the lift handle to raise the coring points off the ground. This prevents damage to the aerator and your lawn, and allows for smoother transport on flat-free tires.
