What's good about this product? It's cheap, for one thing, and easy to pull out and run across the lawn without a lot of setup. Renting a power aerator is a big production. What's not great? Well, it's a bit flimsy, but so far is holding together. The tines aren't very sharp -- I took a grinding wheel to mine to encourage better soil penetration. It requires a pretty significant weight load to get any usable penetration depth. I usually load two cinder blocks lashed to the pedestal with a couple of tie-downs. Unfortunately, the pedestal isn't sized correctly to fit a standard cinder block, so you have to lash it down to keep them from falling off. On a sloped lawn, two blocks is quite a load to haul, but no worse than wrestling with a 250-lb. power aerator. I still rent the power aerator once a year, but now I run this device over the lawn once every couple of weeks for the rest of the season. Read more >>>
