Anyone use a renovator/aerator similar to this one?
I found this one on Thompson Aeration Equipment and it looks like they sell parts and kits for making your own.
I have 6 acres of horse pasture that could use some regular aeration and renovation and I've been looking at some of the different types. I know the whole argument of core versus slicing, so I don't want to get into that argument. I've seen a number of the ranchers doing their pastures using a Hay King brand aerator that's similar to the picture posted. But all of those are 8- 12' wide and stupidly expensive. I have a 38 HP tractor and I'm thinking if I built a 6' wide one, it would be perfect for my needs.
I'll contact Thompson Aeration this week and see if I can get some pricing on the parts, to help figure comparative costs.
