- Does it pull soil cores?
- No. It drives solid spikes into the ground, so it loosens the top layer but leaves no plugs on the surface.
- How much weight should I add?
- The tray holds up to 100 lb. Add weight on dry, hard ground; skip it on soft soil after rain.
- What can tow it?
- A riding mower, garden tractor or ATV with a pin hitch. Check that your hitch pin size matches.
- Is it better than a plug aerator?
- It is faster and simpler, but a plug aerator relieves deep compaction and thatch better. Use this for light seasonal upkeep.
- When should I aerate?
- Aerate when the soil is moist, ideally in early fall or spring, so the spikes penetrate easily.
