Spread and aerate at once with this innovative attachment from Brinly! The Aerator Spreader, in rugged gunmetal-tone finish, combines a drop spreader and spike aerator, helping you get two jobs done in half the time. The heavy-duty spike aerator perforates the ground, while the steel drop spreader drops seed, lime or fertilizer directly into the soil where it works fast and won't wash away. This hard-working tool is built tough with durable tubular steel frame and drawbars. The 100 lb. capacity hopper is made from 18 gauge all-welded steel to minimize twisting and flexing when loaded, while the 8" galvanized steel tine stars stay sharp, won't rust, and penetrate up to 2 inches to allow air to reach the root system. The calibrated flow control feature includes an adjustable stop to ensure accurate spread patterns with minimal waste while out on the job.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Q: Can this spreader spread pulverize lime?

2 days ago
2 Answers
  • A: Deanna, thank you for your question. This spreader works great for seed, fertilizers, and pelletized and granular products such as pelletized lime. Using pulverized lime may not meet your expectations because of the varied size can range from chips to powder. If you give it a try, let us know how it did. If you have any questions, please call customer service at 877.728.8224

Q: will it drop cowpeas

a month ago
1 Answer
  • A: deedot, Thank you for your question. The maximum size of the opening is 1/4'' and tapers down from that. I do not think this equipment will meet your expectations. From what I can tell, with this size opening and the clearance of the agitators. This machine will not spread cowpeas. If you have any other questions, please call customer service at 877.728.822

Q: What is the most pounds per acre that you can put out

9 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Irby, thank you for your question. The spread rate will vary depending on the recommended spread rate of your product. And the speed of travel. For example, the spread rate of an average weed and feed fertilizer is typically about 3 lbs. per 1000 sq ft with a flow control setting of 5. At the recommended tow speed of 3mph with the 100 lb. capacity, it would take approximately two hoppers full of product for an acre. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please call customer service at 877.728.8224

Easy to assemble and use

15 days ago
I bought the 40” aerator spreader and I am very happy with it. I used it to drop spread diatomaceous earth to combat ants and ticks with an eco friendly solution. It worked great. I can’t wait to use it for other lawn care products. The assembly instructions are flawless and it can be done at a leisurely pace in under two hours.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Brinly Tow-Behind 40 in. Combination Aerator Sprea

20 days ago
Picked up from Boonville IN store. Attached to my small gas cart. Lasted about 30 minutes until the wheel came off and bent the tubing. Very poor construction as the wheels cannot be tightened to prevent the wheels coming off. Instructions indicated to loosen the bolts so they will turn. Who ever designed this axel and wheel was not thinking. It should have had a tubing that the axel bolt goes through that is larger than the bolt so it can be tighten against it and the wheel turns freely. Over $400l.00 piece of junk as far as the axel goes. I did not think Tractor Supply would offer this poor piece of equipment to its customers. It was put together by the store employees.

Lowell Powers, thank you for your comments. We are sorry that you had an issue with one of Brinly's top-rated spreaders. It would appear that the wheels may not have been tightened correctly. Also, be mindful that this has a maximum working and towing speed of 3mph. Please call customer service, and we will gladly replace the parts needed to get you going again. Please have the model number and serial number when calling. Brinly

Brinly aerator Junk

a month ago
This did not make 5 passes in the yard and the drive axle with plastic cups was no match for the steel cotter key. The plastic stripped almost immediately this is on the spike axle took it back TCS company refunded my money and i orderd a agri fab. Much better built harder to put together But well worth it. Sorry Brinky you need to talk to you engineers.. never match metal with plastic the medal always wins

No, I do not recommend this product.
