Prepare yourself for a real workout! Of course, if you are looking at this or considering it, you are probably already prepared for some real exercise. For use in my own modestly-sized lawn, I could not rationalize purchasing a more automated solution for use a couple of times per year, so I opted for this solution. It was $15-$20 over-priced for what the picture showed (but what isn't in 2023?), but knowing I would save money in the long run over renting or hiring, I made the plunge. The box it came in was surprisingly small (the arms comprise multiple pieces). I was initially surprised by the number of nuts and bolts. The instructions were sparse on words but visually comprehensive, which meant that assembly was fairly straightforward after sorting out all of the pieces and matching them to the diagrams.
As far as using the device, I started with the only size concrete block I could find in Home Depot that made sense from the dimensions of the top plate. I found that pulling it was nowhere as effective as pushing it. I live in NC, so it's clay under the sod. I found pushing with my arms higher than at the waist level more comfortable and effective (I am 6' and 72 years old). My lawn isn't always level, so starting from a level spot (backing up and getting a running start) helped me get past the dips and whatnot. Needless to say, I felt the workout that evening in my upper arms and back. ;-)
Overall, I am pleased with the device. A couple of runs over the lawn and I was satisfied that I had done a reasonable job aerating the lawn.

Why Buy an Agri-Fab, Inc. 16-Inch Push Spike Aerator?
The Agri-Fab 16-Inch Push Spike Aerator will have your lawn looking better in no time. The 5 steel spikes will help aerate and loosen the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the root system. The best time to aerate your lawn is in the spring, because it opens up the compacted soil brought on by cold winters. This will allow your lawn to grow strong and healthy, giving your lawn that professionally groomed look that you have been wanting.
- The spike aerator has 5 steel spike disks to penetrate the soil easily.
- Each spike disk on the push aerator has a 2.5” aeration depth.
- The 16” working width is ideal for smaller lawns and hard-to-reach places.
- The Spike Aerator with 35 lb. capacity weight tray easily increases soil penetration.

This definitely puts holes in the ground, and it feels like you would expect from the pictures. Basically pushing a brick or rock around the yard with no wheels. It can be very difficult when you hit a root or the misplaced stick. You have to push this as pulling it does not push the spikes into the ground even with a rock.
