Brinly Tow Behind Combination Aerator Spreader with Weight Tray, 40-Inch, Flat Black

The Brinly 40-Inch Tow Behind Combination Aerator Spreader merges two critical lawn care chores into one pull-behind implement. By dropping seed, fertilizer, or lime at the exact moment the steel stars perforate the ground, it helps ensure your materials enter the soil directly rather than sitting on top. This setup connects to lawn tractors, riders, ATVs, and most ZTR mowers using an included heavy-duty universal hitch pin.

Perforation is handled by 8-inch diameter steel stars featuring 132 tine tips that penetrate up to 2 inches deep. These 3-D tines are crafted from galvanized steel to fight rust and handle compacted dirt without bending. To assist in hard terrain, a rigid steel weight tray sits on top and accommodates up to 75 pounds of extra ballast, driving the tines further into the turf.

Material distribution relies on a solid steel hopper capable of holding 100 pounds (1.74 cubic feet) of material without flexing or twisting. A calibrated flow control system with an adjustable stop lets you dial in the spread rate to prevent over-application. When you need to cross hard surfaces like driveways or walkways, a single transport lever lifts the tines and engages 10-inch pneumatic wheels.

Because this unit relies on a tow vehicle, it is not suitable for manual push applications or very tight garden beds where a riding mower cannot maneuver. Assembly is quick, taking under a half hour out of the box, but the 40-inch wide steel frame will require dedicated floor space in your garage or shed.

Verdict: This combo unit is ideal for property owners who want to cut their lawn maintenance time in half by aerating and seeding simultaneously. If you have a riding mower or ATV and want solid steel construction, this implement provides efficient, dependable yard treatment.
