Product Info
Maxim 48-Inch Tow-Behind Spike Aerator
Fast, Clean Turf Renovation for Commercial Properties

Tackling severely compacted sports fields and sprawling corporate campuses shouldn't require your crew to exhaust themselves walking behind a slow machine. Hooking up a heavy-duty Maxim 48 Inch Tow Behind Spike Aerator instantly transforms your existing riding mower into a high-speed turf rehabilitation tool.
Traditional core extraction pulls messy dirt plugs that sit on the grass for weeks, which frustrates high-end clients and golfers. This heavy-duty implement utilizes 102 welded steel spikes to cleanly slice 2.75 inches into the turf, instantly opening the root zone for water and nutrients.
Slicing through heavily compacted or dry, sandy soils often requires substantial downforce to prevent the tines from simply skipping across the surface. The hollow steel drum solves this by holding up to 32 gallons of water, easily adding 267 pounds of downward pressure for consistent soil penetration.
Versatility is critical for commercial landscaping fleets, which is why this unit features a universal tow-behind hookup. Operators can quickly attach it to any standard riding mower, immediately turning their existing power equipment into a high-speed aeration machine.
Driving spiked heavy iron over concrete driveways or cart paths will cause immediate, costly damage to both the implement and the pavement. An intelligently engineered rotating tow bar allows the operator to quickly lift the heavy drum and safely roll the machine on its 2-ply transport tires.
Equipping your rental yard or turf care business with rugged, USA-made iron ensures your equipment stays in the dirt generating revenue. Investing in a Maxim 48 Inch Tow Behind Spike Aerator For Sale provides your operation with a low-maintenance workhorse built around a solid 1-inch shaft and greaseable ball bearings.
