I need to get an airator (sorry 'bout the spelling) for my BX any suggestions as to width and weight ect. Soil is clay and lawn is looking worn out.
Thanks in advance

I pull one of these with my BX1860....I load it up with concrete blocks and it makes nice 3" plugs. I bought mine new unassembled off Ebay several years ago for under $200, but I think they are over $400 new at a dealer or the Depot... It is much better quality than the Agrifab ones I have seen.

I bought a 48" aerator at TSC for around $200 . It works well for my use ,as I don't have a very large area to do . I will say that If I had seen the JD unit listed above I'd have most likely bought it ,as it seems to be better quality that the one I purchased .
As far as weight , they rely on things like cinder blocks for weight . I use 60lb sand tubs .

If you are going to use it much, buy a quality one from LandPride. They have 3 different series. I promise you won't be sorry! Land Pride Core Aerators I have the heavy duty CA2548.

What does a 5 ft Landpride generally sell for in your area? Ken Sweet

The heavy duty series is about $2200. I have not priced the two lighter duty series. I know that your company makes a core aerator. HOWEVER, yours are on a solid drum which will cause the spoons to tear out the turf if you do any turning at all. I'm sure you make a very fine product for the money that will satisfy most folks needs; but we aren't comparing apples to apples here. I do know that you only have to buy and cry once with LandPride! :thumbsup:

In the past, we have sold First Choice, Kioti , Midwest etc.aerators designed like the Landpride and I have used all 4 and can tell no difference in performance. Ken Sweet
