Lawn plugger with BX25

[jenkinsph]

I have not hit anything not intended yet with the BX 25 however with an earlier BX that I had a middle mower on I was too lazy to remove the front loader and while mowing quickly took out a metal fence post. Your aerator looks lighter than the one I am getting. As I may have posted the one I'm getting is 36 inches wide and weighs 650 lbs so I don't have to add any weight. The removable spoons are mounted on approximately 2 inch wide laminated plate steel wheels which rotate on a single axle. Unlike the plugger aerators that the spoon/spikes are permanently mounted on a roller drum, the set up I'm getting should not compact the soil as you try and loosen it.

The compaction he is referring to is the heavier tractor tires on a B, not the aerator. About your new unit hopefully Ted and EA hit a home run on their design.

if you need more ballast up front just fill the bucket with dirt sand whatever
if you have some steep hills maybe back up them, let down the implement and drive down the hill
