Braber 60-Inch Drum Spike Aerator (81.200.041)

 

The Braber 60-Inch Drum Spike Aerator is a professional-grade tow-behind implement built to tackle the largest lawn and turf areas quickly and effectively. With its enormous 60-inch working width and substantial water-ballast capacity, this aerator is the ideal tool for commercial landscapers, golf course maintenance, and owners of vast acreage who require rapid soil decompression.

Designed for powerful use with UTVs and larger garden tractors, the 81.200.041 ensures deep spike penetration and maximum productivity.

 

Maximum Coverage and Weight

 

  • Maximum Working Width: The expansive 60-inch (5-foot) working width allows for the fastest coverage possible, dramatically reducing the time spent aerating large fields and properties.

  • Heavy-Duty Ballast Drum: The large diameter drum is designed to be filled with water or sand to generate exceptional downward pressure. When fully ballasted, the total weight can reach approximately 520 lbs, ensuring deep and consistent spike penetration into heavily compacted or dry soil.

  • Spike Aeration: The rotating drum is lined with numerous sharp, fixed spikes that effectively pierce the turf and soil, immediately improving water infiltration, nutrient absorption, and gas exchange at the root level.

  • Maximum Penetration: Capable of achieving a ground penetration depth of up to 2.5 inches, providing effective relief of compaction in the upper soil layers.

 

Durability and Efficiency

 

  • Commercial Construction: Built with a reinforced steel frame and a heavy-gauge drum, ensuring the aerator withstands the high stress and continuous use typical of large commercial jobs.

  • Fast Connection: Attaches easily and securely to the tow vehicle using a standard pin-type hitch (often a clevis style), facilitating quick hook-up and detachment.

  • Quick Transport: Features a mechanism (often a simple wheel-based system) to lift the heavy drum for smooth transport across paved surfaces and driveways without damaging the spikes or the ground.

  • Rust Protection: The steel components feature a rust-resistant finish to protect the investment from weather and moisture exposure inherent in water-ballast use.
