YITAMOTOR 32" Tow-Behind Lawn Spike Aerator — 32-inch, 8-Spike ATV/UTV Tow Attachment, Steel Ballast Ready

The YITAMOTOR 32" Tow-Behind Lawn Spike Aerator is a heavy-duty, universal-hitch attachment with eight rotating steel spike disks designed to penetrate up to 2 inches to improve soil oxygenation and water infiltration.

This tow-behind aerator connects quickly to lawn tractors, ATVs, and most zero-turn mowers, giving homeowners and property managers a tough, low-effort way to aerate turf without renting commercial equipment. Built from full steel with a rust-resistant black finish, the 32-inch wide aerator balances portability with a load capacity that accepts concrete ballast so you can adjust spike penetration for different soil types.

How does the aerator attach to my mower or ATV?

The unit includes a universal hitch and a reinforced double tow bar designed for broad compatibility and stronger towing stability. Most lawn tractors, ATVs, and many zero-turn mowers will accept the connection without adapters, making setup quick and straightforward.

• Universal hitch fits common 1-inch and similar receiver setups
• Double tow-behind bar adds rigidity over single-bar designs
• Simple pin-and-clip connection for fast hookup and removal

What determines how deep the spikes penetrate?

Spike depth is primarily set by the amount of downward weight loaded onto the frame. The aerator carries up to three 35 lb concrete blocks (over 100 lbs supported with included straps) so you can dial in penetration from light surface aeration to firmer, deeper punctures in compacted soils.

• Holds up to three 35 lb concrete blocks for heavier penetration
• Straps provided to secure ballast safely during operation
• 8 independent 8-inch steel spike disks rotate to maintain consistent depth

How does the spike design affect lawn results?

The eight sharp steel spike disks create narrow core-free openings that let air, water, and nutrients reach grassroots while minimizing surface disruption. Rotating disks help the aerator turn smoothly and cover more ground per pass, reducing the number of passes needed for even coverage.

• 8 sharp steel spikes penetrate up to 2 inches for improved soil access
• Independent disk rotation reduces turf tearing on turns
• 32" working width balances efficiency and maneuverability

What maintenance and durability can I expect?

The frame and components are steel with a protective black rust-resistant coating for season-to-season durability. Basic upkeep—cleaning off mud after use, inspecting straps and pins, and occasional lubrication of moving parts—keeps the aerator working reliably.

• Full-steel construction with rust-resistant finish for weather protection
• Replaceable spike disks and simple hardware for easy repairs
• Clear assembly instructions included to speed initial setup

Who is this for: The YITAMOTOR 32" Tow-Behind Spike Aerator is ideal for homeowners with medium-to-large yards, landscapers managing multiple properties, and small acreage owners who already use an ATV, UTV, or lawn tractor and want a cost-effective aeration solution they can tow themselves. It’s best for lawns that need improved water and nutrient penetration but where core aeration machines aren’t practical or available. Follow all safety and assembly instructions before use.
