Core Aerator, Land Pride anybody use one?

[Theowegian]

I have a good lead on a used core aerator, Land Pride, 60".
$900 bucks, used a dozen times.

Im hoping to buy it and improve the turf on my 7 acres.

Does anyone have a core aerator and would they buy one again or is it a real waste of money?

thanks, dwight

I've got the 6' one and love it. It does make a difference.

I have used mine once last year and I think it made a big difference in my lawn. I just finished using it this week for the fall. I am going to put out the winter fertilizer next week. Part of my lawn I plugged and then mowed. The other, I mowed and then plugged. The side I mowed later looks much better. I will probably have to sharpen my blades now, but it helped.

I'm a believer for sure with core aerators. Its the first year using them, and I know and see the direct benefit of using them. I aerated my lawn at least 3 times this season alone. And one of the key advantages is it helps reduced the amount of fertilizer needed to cover this area, throughout the season.

I also found that overseeding paid off better too. I threw a lot of seed out before with a poor percentage of success.
