Do a search for "Core aerator" Here on TBN. You will get a lot of information on them.
Here is a link to a picture showing how I added weight to my 60" Midwest. Click Here

Junkman,

Here is a picture of the Herd seeder, if you need something more detailed let me know. I paid $425 for it in 2003.

Here is a modification I made to remove water in the gear case after cleaning.

Junkman,

You may need to make a modification to the 3 pt to get enough height to lift the aerator so the cores do not drag when in the transport position.. Here is what I plan to follow for the modification.

Make sure when you add the concrete blocks you install a 2 x 4 wood block to lock the concrete blocks into place. The tray is not wide enough to add one more block. If you hit a bump, the concrete blocks move, fall down on the plug which is turning, stops it from turning, and tears the heck out of your lawn if you do not notice it quickly, do not ask how I know this. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I also noticed you will have to tighten the plugs on the turning wheel after use as they loosen up. I use a screw driver to remove the dirt from the plugs before putting it away. Good time to take care of any loose plugs and to grease it up before the next use.

Ken,
I was on your website and I can't find the core Aerator that Junkman purchased for $425. Do you still have them? What's best method to contact you?

You know that I was going to ask for a picture, so please post one showing the blocks and the wooden block. Thanks Junk.... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I think that was for the Herd Seeder , not the aerator.
