The striper was cool, but I love this one. Can you share how you built it. The plugger is what I need to build up next. The three point box hitch, whose is that. I like the idea behind that.

Matthew, the core areator was a pull behind from Agra Fab, I built an extra 3 pt frame, stiffened the areator frame work, cut the tung off and designed it to quick attach to the areator and the dethatcher with 3 bolts and 1 nut, 2 pins and the back flat bar stiffner. The attachments come off the orange frame and are lighter, and easier to store that way. I built the 3 pt box hitch and all the other little toys here at home. I spent 30 years as a welder fabricator at a steel mill here in Canton, I enjoy designing and building this kind of stuff. As soon as I can get the carry-all box, that I just finished building, out of the basement, I will post some pictures, I even pin striped this one.

How well does the aerator work? Do you tear up the yard much when turning as a result of the aerator swinging wide? Do you just lift it in the turns? Nice work by the way.

ChemEng, The aerator works very good. I make straight passes with it, I don't try to turn with it lowered. I can get into tight places with it now that I could never do before when it was a tow behind unit, I just back up and lower the 3pt and drive away.
