This lawn plug aerator is best for easily compacted soil like clay, heavy-traffic areas such as playgrounds and sports fields and drought damaged lawns. The plug aerator has a weight tray that can hold up to 140 lb. allowing for increased soil penetration by the 24 aerator knives. The pull behind plug aerator has a universal hitch that fits any tractor regardless of brand.3-Year limited warranty

If that is done and the handle is still not locking you need to go back to the manual and make sure you have put the knives and the spacers in the correct places on the shaft.

Agri-Fab Tow-Behind 40 in. Plug Aerator
2 months ago
This product is awesome! The weight tray has a spec of 150 lbs. I put 140 lbs on it and it works great. The only thing is ground condition. Ride on or push core aerators can get through packed ground that is dry and this has trouble at times doing that. The best conditions are right after its' rained or watering for a couple days. This product is worth the money if you plan to use it twice a year to keep your lawn in great shape.

Problem with assembly
3 months ago
The assembly was straight forward until I tried to attach the lift handle to the wheel bracket. There is no way to insert the bottom bolt because it is too long. It can't be inserted the other direction without interfering with the aerator knives. I had to cut the bolt about a 1/3 of an inch to insert it. I have read other reviews and this is apparently a common complaint. This is a design flaw that needs to be corrected.
Yes, I recommend this product.
