Product Info

Maxim 48 Inch Plug Aerator 3 Point Hitch 

High-Volume Turf Relief for Commercial Tractors

Taking on sprawling estates or massive sports complexes requires serious iron that can cover ground rapidly. This 48-inch wide implement is engineered to maximize your acreage coverage, turning multi-day turf jobs into highly profitable afternoon routes.

Built strictly for commercial fleet integration, this unit features dual mounting capabilities for total jobsite versatility. Operators can easily attach it to heavy-duty riding mowers or compact tractors using either the standard tow-behind setup or the 3-point hitch.

True turf rehabilitation relies on getting oxygen and nutrients deep into the root system, which this drum achieves using 102 bolt-in replaceable spoons. These heavy-duty spoons actively extract solid soil plugs up to 2.75 inches deep, instantly relieving compaction and encouraging healthy root expansion.

Piercing sun-baked hardpan or dense clay requires massive downward force to keep the implement from bouncing across the surface. By filling the hollow drum with up to 32 gallons of water, you add 267 pounds of dead weight directly over the tines for perfectly consistent ground penetration.

To prevent damage to concrete or sidewalks during transit, the implement features an innovative rotating tow bar that quickly lifts the drum off the ground. Built in the USA with greaseable ball bearings and rolling on 2-ply transport tires, this machine guarantees years of smooth, low-maintenance operation.
