Do Brinly aerators work in reverse?

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.

How can I avoid bending the spikes on my aerator?

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.

What's the difference between spike and plug aerators?

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
