Land Pride CA 15 core aerator??

[simoutdoors]

I wanted to buy CA15, but settled on CA05. I just couldn't bring my self to spend the extra money.

Tow behind does a nice job and I can make big radius turns without tearing things up. It is challenging to work around trees and planting beds. I temporarily rigged it up as a 3 point last year and that was better. This spring I think I may make that more permanent.

Does anyone know....in general, do the 3-point hitch aerators that are NOT affixed to drums allow each set (or in groups of 2) of spoons to rotate independent of the others? Or are some of those on solid axles that run all the way across the aerator? It would appear that the axle should be independent at every point that there's an axle support, but I don't know that. I found a used Frontier CA2560. I am thinking about the turns.

Each of the 8 wheels on mine turn independently. It is 3 point. Lift and turn works better. I have just connected the top link, let the 3 point all the way down and drug it around. Turns were easier that way.

I found a Frontier CA2060E aerator for $650. Going to look at it tomorrow. The seller states that he bought it new in 2008, it's been used 3 times, and stored in the barn since new. According to the John Deere website, this has 2 greaseable bronze bearings for each rotor - not sure if each rotor spins independently or not. I'm taking a trailer and cash, to see what it's all about.

I have no idea who made mine but each set of spoons/rotor does turn separately. I put grease fittings on each rotor. There were none there to begin with.
My buying experience was different than others in that I watched it on Craigslist for at least 5 months. The seller had very few calls and I got a decent price on it just before he was going to be moving. It is VERY heavy. Some of the frame is 2"x2". The only hollow parts on it are the spoons!

I am very well pleased with quality and looks of both now for the kicker Trucking Company lost my Core aerator and cannot find it so a new one has been ordered from factory glad I have not paid for it yet but I will get a discount for my ordeal:thumbsup:
