Product Info
Maxim 48-Inch 3-Point Hitch Spike Aerator
High-Speed, Zero-Cleanup Aeration for Commercial Tractors

Maintaining pristine golf courses and massive estates requires equipment that covers ground rapidly without destroying the visual appeal of the turf. Finding a high-quality Maxim 48 Inch Spike Aerator 3 Point Hitch For Sale gives your crew the wide-area coverage needed to turn multi-day jobs into quick afternoon routes.
Traditional core extraction leaves behind thick dirt plugs that sit on the grass for weeks, frustrating demanding clients and property managers. This heavy-duty implement utilizes 102 welded steel spikes to cleanly slice into the soil profile, opening up the root zone for oxygen and nutrients with absolutely zero cleanup required.
Versatility is critical for commercial landscaping fleets, which is why this unit features dual-mounting capabilities to seamlessly integrate with your existing power equipment. Operators can effortlessly attach it using either a standard tow-behind setup for riding mowers or a heavy-duty 3-point hitch for compact tractors.
Slicing through heavily compacted or dry, sandy soils requires substantial downforce to prevent the tines from simply skipping across the surface. The hollow drum design solves this by holding up to 32 gallons of water, easily adding 267 pounds of downward pressure for a consistent 2.75-inch penetration depth.
Driving spiked heavy iron over concrete driveways or cart paths will cause immediate, costly damage to both the implement and the pavement. An intelligently engineered rotating tow bar allows the operator to quickly lift the heavy drum and safely roll the machine on its 2-ply transport tires.
Equipping your rental yard or turf care business with rugged, USA-made iron ensures your equipment stays in the dirt generating revenue instead of sitting in the shop. Investing in a Maxim 48 Inch Hitch Spike Aerator3 Point For Sale provides your operation with a low-maintenance workhorse built around a solid 1-inch shaft and greaseable ball bearings.
