Product Description
Ripping It Outdoors 5ft. Spike Aerator with 3 Point Hitch or Pull Tongue with 3/8 Thick Spikes
DESCRIPTION
The Ripping It Outdoors 5ft. Spike Aerator is built to optimize soil health by improving nutrient absorption, reducing compaction, and enhancing overseeding success. Its compact size makes it ideal for small fields, food plots, and general land management while delivering professional-grade performance.
Constructed with a 10 ¾” thick-wall drum and 4.5” x 2” solid steel spikes (3/8” thick), this aerator is designed to penetrate the soil efficiently and create optimal conditions for plant growth. The water-fillable drum allows you to adjust the weight for better penetration, ranging from 85 lbs/ft dry to 120 lbs/ft wet.
With a 1 ¾” solid steel axle, quality greaseable bearings, and a robust 2 ½” angle iron frame, this spike aerator is engineered for durability and reliable operation. Choose between a 3-point hitch or pull-tongue configuration to fit your equipment and ensure ease of use.

EQUIPMENT OPTIONS
Residential Spike-Aerators

Extra cross-bracing and laser-cut bearing plates ensure smooth operation and durability. Available with the travel options listed below.
Riding on a solid 1 ¾” axle & supported by two quality bearings, the 19” spike-drum has a plug to permit adding/removing water for added weight – increasing the dry weight from appx 85lbs per foot, to appx 120lbs per ft when filled.
Designed to punch 4.5” x 2” holes to maximize effectiveness. The 4.5” long solid spikes are 3/8” thick and mounted to a thick-wall 10 ¾ inch drum & a 1 ¾” to provide max weight & durability. Available as pull-tongue and/or 3-pt hitch or front-end loader QA.
HD Commercial Grade Spike-Aerators
HD Commercial Grade Spike-Aerators is built on a 3/8” thick, 16” diameter drum. The 2" solid steel axle is supported by quality grease-able bearings. Depending on size, the frame may be built with 3x5, 4x6, or 6x8” rectangular tubing with cross-bracing and gusset supports as necessary to ensure exceptional strength, smooth operation, and durability.
The 27” spike-drum has a plug to permit adding/removing water for added weight – increasing the dry weight from appx 130lbs per foot to appx 175lbs per ft when filled.
Designed to punch 4.5” x 2” holes to maximize effectiveness. The 4.5” long solid spikes are 1/2” thick. Available as a pull-tongue, 3pt hitch, or frontend loader QA. Available with manual-lift or hydraulic travel systems.
TRAVEL OPTIONS
For travel, you can choose 3-pt hitch, pull-tongue, flip-over, manual-lift, or
hydraulic travel systems - or most any combination.
Flip-over
Flip-over models are available in sizes of 3-10’ with 12" wheels/tires.
* The flip-over option gives you great flexibility at a reasonable price. But these things weigh appx 100lbs per foot. Flipping over an 800-1000 cultipacker is difficult. If you opt for a flip-over, I recommend you block both wheels & use a chain or strap to flip. Just let it free-fall and then hook back up. A good alternative for larger units is a manual lift.
Manual-lift
Manual-lift models are available in sizes of 3-12' with 12" wheels/tires.
The manual-lift travel system costs less than hydraulics and eliminates the need to disconnect or flip your unit to travel the heavy-duty jack to make lifting easier & quicker.
Hydraulic-lift
Hydraulic-lift models are available in any size with 14/15" wheels/tires, new hoses & quick connects. Everything you need to hit the field.
