Scored a BH MPG720 Aerator

[gsganzer]

I found this one on Craigslist. It's in pretty decent shape and all the tines are good. Hopefully it works pretty decent for the yard and horse pasture.

It's a little big for my L3800. I have my backhoe on the back right now, so I haven't been able to see how well it hooks up. The lift height could be an issue, but I think it will work out OK, I can modify it if I need to. For what I paid for it, I could turn around and sell it at no loss if I decided it's not what I want.

Here's my work buddy Mason, posing with it.

Haven't had a chance to try it out yet. Too busy with other projects. I'll report back when I do.

If you don’t mind me asking what you have to give for it and how does it work?

I believe I paid $650 for it. I added about 600lbs of weight to it by casting (2) 300LB concrete blocks that fit in the weight tray on top. It works great. You certainly have to time it just right with the soil moisture to get the right penetration.

If I was only doing pastures, I might want something like an Aerway that causes a little more soil disruption. But this one works for my lawn too and the price was right.

Price was right, for sure. I have the same aerator. Spoons are available for it through sources other than Bush Hog and are easily replaced. I agree that the moisture content of the soil must be just right.
