- Does it need weights to work?
- On soft, moist soil it pulls plugs on its own. On dry or hard ground, add weight to the tray up to 75 lb to get the tines in.
- What can tow it?
- It is built for riding mowers and garden tractors with a rear pin hitch. It is not meant for hand pulling or small walk-behind mowers.
- Does it leave plugs on the lawn?
- Yes. Hollow tines pull soil cores and drop them on the surface. They break down over a few weeks or can be raked or mowed in.
- When is the best time to aerate?
- Aerate when the soil is moist, typically in early fall or spring. Dry soil makes penetration hard even with weight.
- How wide is the working path?
- It covers 48 inches per pass with 24 tines, so a large lawn takes few passes.
- How does it store?
- The frame folds down so it takes less floor space in a shed or garage.
