Please note: if you select a tow-behind model for use with your zero turn, we recommend reducing your speed and always being cautious of the speeds and sharpness of turns you take.

Centipede grass is a warm-season grass, and aerating should be done in late spring / early summer. This gives it time to recover before the hot summer months.

We do not call out a size because of the variation in the size of the cinder blocks. In the manual, we say, “Weight should be secured by rope, straps, or other suitable means to contain the weight in the tray.” The weight tray is 42” long.

All Brinly Models (except the AS2-40BH-G, and AS2-40BH-S) come with a weight tray for adding extra weight. None of the Brinly units come with straps to hold your weight. However, proper securing of weight is required for safe operation. Since the weight used by customers varies in shape and size we defer to the customer’s best judgement on affixing tie downs to the unit. Please make sure that any added weight is firmly secured and does not exceed the weight guidelines put forth in the manual. To aid in the securing of weight brinly has added extra tie down holes for this purpose. Brinly recommends only using weight that is secured and not able to shift during operation. As uneven weight can cause the unit to shift or event capsize. Uneven weight may also bend or damage the spikes or spoons.

Yes, you may add weight to the weight tray.

Yes/No this product is not made to run in reverse and if backing up it is crucial that the operator is aware of the hitch point and the spikes. If transport mode is available we recommend it.

The presence of rocks in the soil and the natural use of the aerator over time will dull your spikes; however, bent spikes result from overloading the weight of the unit and operation on soil that is too hard and dry. This said, we have recently upgraded our spike aerators to include stronger tow bars and stronger spikes.

A spike aerator’s tines makes slits in the ground with star-like spikes and a plug aerator removes plugs from the ground allowing water and nutrients to get to the roots to promote growth. Check out this video for more helpful information: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KNKmBKi6-k&t=2s
