Will Brinly Aerators work with centipede grass?

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.

Does my Aerator fit all riding tractors?

Your aerator is compatible with mowers, tractors, and ZTR's that have a rear Hitch Plate. Please check that your equipment has a rear hitch plate. Brinly Aerators include a Universal Hitch Pin that will secure the Aerator to the Hitch Plate.

What is the best length bungee to hold down 2 full size cinder blocks on my Aerator?

A bungee cord at least 2 feet long is recommended for an implement with a 40 inch working width.

Can I add weight to my Brinly aerator?

Yes, you may add weight to the weight tray.

Can I interchange the spike for a plug on my aerator?

Unfortunately the spikes and spoons used on our aerators are not interchangeable. If you would like help with which aerator would work best for your application please see a helpful comparison video at here.

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

This hard-working tool is built tough with durable tubular steel frame and drawbars. The 100 lb. capacity hopper is made from 18 gauge all-welded steel to minimize twisting and flexing when loaded, while the 8” galvanized steel tine stars stay sharp, won’t rust, and penetrate up to 2 inches to allow air to reach the root system. The calibrated flow control feature includes an adjustable stop to ensure accurate spread patterns with minimal waste while out on the job.
