How The Maxim MSAT48.MAX Compares To Other Aerator Options
Landscaping companies and property owners evaluating wide spike aerators usually face this question: should I get the 3-point hitch version for tractor compatibility, this tow-behind-only model at a lower price, or the narrower 36-in. spike aerator for gate access?
Here's the honest comparison:
| Feature | Maxim MSAT48.MAX Tow-Behind ($1,045) | Maxim MSA3P48.MAX 3-Point Hitch ($1,158) | Maxim MSAT36.MAX Tow-Behind ($891) |
|---|---|---|---|

| Aerating Width | 48 in. | 48 in. | 36 in. |
| Number Of Tines | 102 | 102 | 78 |
| Mounting | Tow-behind only | Tow-behind, 3-point hitch compatible | Tow-behind |
| Added Weight Capacity | 32 gal. of water for up to 267 lbs. | 32 gal. of water for up to 267 lbs. | 24 gal. of water for up to 200 lbs. |
| Gate Access | Wider, may not fit narrow gates | Wider, may not fit narrow gates | Easily fits through most gates |

Why The Maxim MSAT48.MAX Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a wide spike aerator, it delivers the same 102-tine, 48-in. coverage as Maxim's 3-point hitch model at a lower price point for operations that only need standard tow-behind attachment.
The MSAT48.MAX specifically addresses the needs of landscaping companies and property owners who need to aerate large, open commercial properties quickly without paying for 3-point hitch compatibility they won't use.
Full-Width Coverage Without The Premium. With 102 tines across a 48-in. width, this aerator delivers the same dense coverage and fast commercial property coverage as the 3-point hitch version, at a lower price for operations that only need standard tow-behind mounting.
Built For Wide, Dense Coverage
At 48 in. wide with 102 welded steel tines, this aerator covers commercial properties fast with dense tine coverage
The spike design penetrates soil without leaving behind unsightly plugs, keeping the property looking clean immediately after treatment
Rotate the tow bar to lower the drum for aeration or raise it for transport, simplifying operation
Engineered For Durability
The 1-in. drum shaft with greasable ball bearings supports long-term durability under heavy commercial use
Add up to 32 gallons of water for an additional 267 pounds of weight to penetrate tough soil conditions
410/350-4, 2-ply tires provide durable transport without going flat on the job
Real Savings
No plugs left behind means less cleanup time and a cleaner appearance immediately after treatment
102 tines and 48-in. width reduce the number of passes needed to cover large properties, saving labor time
Standard tow-behind mounting avoids paying for 3-point hitch compatibility on operations that don't need it
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Landscaping companies and property owners maintaining large, open commercial properties can't afford an aerator that's too narrow or too expensive for the job. The Maxim MSAT48.MAX is built with 102 tines, a wide 48-in. aeration width, and standard tow-behind mounting, so it covers commercial turf fast without the premium of 3-point hitch compatibility. For anyone maintaining large properties with a standard riding mower or tractor tow bar, this is the aerator built to get the job done efficiently.
