Rated 5 out of 5 by msontag from Great Aerator!!! I bought the Master Platform with Aerator in 2012. It does great on my 1/2 acre lawn. Years past I rented aerators always felt rushed getting them back in a 4 hour time frame. Now I can do my lawn maintenance with ease. There's nothing like doing a good job and taking your time doing a good job. I like to aerate my lawn twice a year and in years past lucky to do it once every 2 years. Well worth the money and easy to store it. I also have De-thatcher, Roller, and Turf Shark Aerator.

Rated 3 out of 5 by OnTarget10 from OK, but not great. I have tried my aerator twice so far. Yes, it pulls out plugs, but not full-sized plugs like a professional machine could do (even weighted down with 5 or 6 cement blocks). Maybe if the soil is totally saturated, it would work better. I liked the fact that I could also use a dethatcher with the same base to save space, but I have not been overly impressed with that feature either. Maybe my lawn doesn't have a lot of thatch, or maybe the dethatcher is just not great. Obviously, doing it yourself, will save you money, but as always, you get what you pay for.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Steve the banker from Almost there.... Consumers are willing to pay a few extra bucks for a better product and you guys are very close to having a better than average product. For Starters, The wheels need to go . Hard plastic and CHEAP!!! How much would it cost to upgrade the wheels, $10 bucks.... Secondly, please use the same bolt size throughout the product. Your product is mostly stamped metal and you it would be very easy to accomplish and I bet it would be cheaper in the long run. Less change of people calling ore emailing you to send more bolts since someone miscounted. Lastly, make the Tray an inch or two bigger so each side could hold three concrete box snugly or reverse the bolts in the directions so that the three box could fit.

Rated 3 out of 5 by X485 from Good tool, poor welding. The design works it was not welded properly for the heavy job and vibrations it has to endure. All spools where only welded 1/2 around, that let the spool and the hub start to move and eventually broke all the welds. I did also notice the welds had very poor penetration, inexcusable in this day of robot welding. So I had to dissemble clean off all the paint and reweld the entire unit. no problems after that. There is no excuse to not weld this tool 360 around the axle. The way you are doing it it is creating opposing forces on the weld(push/pull) that's an obvious engineering mistake, and an easy fix. Disappointing.

Rated 1 out of 5 by kilowatt from Missing welds makes tire fall off Problems started with a missing part the representative was very nice on the phone and said a replacement would be shipped out. Went to move the assembled plug aerator and the wheel fell off. The steel bracket holding the wheel has a hollow shaft welded to secure the wheel to the drive shaft. There should be 2 welds at 180 deg. apart. There is only 1 weld and this weld is cold and did not penetrate the steel plate. I will be calling the manufacture representative again tomorrow to ask for additional parts. The questions they ask are kind of funny because i could not answer most of them i have not been able to operate the unit yet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ozz Hagen from Replacement tongue for my plug aereator 40" I bought this 40" plug aereator back in the spring 2004 and use it annually on my 2+acre lot. It does a great job. I have four cement blocks on it for weight.This is my first repair in 11 years. Great to be able to still get parts at a reasonable cost, with just a phone call and receive them in a few days. Thanks much!

Rated 4 out of 5 by bushman from Love the idea of interchangeable items, BUT I love the idea of interchangeable item such as this. It works well but took some time to get the weight I needed on top correct to get it to work smoothly. Once I figure that out it worked like a charm and the best part is that I don;t have a bunch of individual systems around. One one draw back would be the cost to start off and the cost of the individual items but if you can get by this it is worth it. The construction is by far better then individual items. In my mind it will out last anything you put up against it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ScenicNH from Great quality The metal spikes are sharp and heavy duty. Living in NH I have rocks in my back yard just below the surface and not one spike was bent after multiple uses just before I over seeded this fall. I now have great new grass growing were the plugs were removed and this aerator quality is great.

I want to use my John Deere e110 mower with the SMARTLINK plug aerator, but is that too much weight and resistance for the mower's hydrostatic transmission? Should I use the spike aerator instead?

Asked by: Dan60

The condition of the soil and the amount of weight are the key factors to consider on the pull on your tractor's transmission. If the ground is extremely hard and dry, it is recommended the area be sprinkled or watered down for one or two hours prior to aerating. You can put extra weight on master platform tray but the amount would depend on which SmartLINK head you are using. To increase depth of point penetration with the Plug Aerator head, up to 140 lb of weight such as bags of sand or concrete blocks may be added to the tray. Always secure weight to the tray with ties or straps fastened to the front and rear of the tray. Fasten so that the ties cannot become entangled in rotating parts. Customer Care Team takes calls @ 800-448-9282 Monday-Friday between 7am to 5 pm CST if you have any other questions.
