BX 2680. Front bucket, grapple, pallet forks, box blade aireator 008-5 excavator ZD 1211 mower RTV 500
Looking for a aerator/ plugger to attach to my BX 25. Most of the ones I have found are 72" or larger. That size would not work on a normal lawn evan a large one constantly working around trees, scrubs etc. There has got to be a manufacture that makes one approximately 48" wide that attaches via the three point hitch. Anyone know of one?

If I was going to buy a new one for a BX it would be this one. I like the looks of the design. It looks like it would have a lower center of gravity.
Xtreme Duty Lawn Aerator With Hollow Coring Tines



Here is my areator. I works really well. It does make the tractor more top heavy once you get it loaded down with blocks. A 48" is definitely as large as I would want to go on a BX.

What brand name is the one you have?

Do each of the wheels turn independently or is the axle one solid piece?

The wheels are hooked together in groups of 2, only 1 spoon hits at a time in that group. It would be easy to change it to fully independent but I am not sure it if would be worth it.

I haven't purchased one yet but from what I have seen the EA aerator 36" model should be just right for a BX. If you get one of these please post your results.

Actually I run a 56 inch Landpride behind my BX with no problems. I do horse pastures, soccer complex, and large customer yards with no problems at all.

Thanks
