The Sealey SLA48T 48-inch Tow Behind Plug Aerator is an essential tool for landscape professionals and serious homeowners looking to improve soil health, nutrient uptake, and root development in large turf areas. By pulling soil plugs to reduce compaction, this unit promotes a thicker, more resilient lawn, though its requirement for a compatible towing vehicle like an ATV, ride-on mower, or compact tractor means it is not suitable for those without motorized towing capabilities.

The 140mm tines are designed to penetrate up to 3 inches into the soil depending on ground conditions and added ballast.
Yes, as long as your tractor has a standard tow hitch and sufficient power to pull the weight of the aerator.
Common ballast items include concrete paving slabs, sandbags, or other heavy, stable objects secured firmly within the tray.
Yes, the unit requires assembly. Please refer to the included manual for step-by-step instructions and required tools.
Generally, aerating once or twice a year during the peak growing season is recommended for optimal lawn health.
Add more weight to the ballast tray or wait for the soil to soften after light rain; ensure the towing hitch is level.
Reduce the towing speed and ensure the ground is not overly saturated; reduce the weight in the ballast tray.
Check all bolts and hitch connections for tightness; ensure the ballast load is evenly distributed in the tray.
Setup: The unit arrives partially assembled and should be put together on a flat, level surface. Ensure all hitch pins are securely locked before attaching the aerator to your towing vehicle. Always verify that the hitch height matches the drawbar of your tractor or mower to keep the aerator level during use.
Compatibility: This aerator is designed for use with ride-on mowers, ATVs, and compact tractors equipped with a standard tow hitch. It is not designed to be pushed manually.
Care: After each use, remove any soil or debris trapped between the tines. If the unit will be stored for an extended period, spray the tines with a light coat of oil to prevent rust. Regularly inspect the tines for signs of bending or dullness and replace them if necessary to maintain consistent aeration quality.
