Woods Turf Renovators

[merlintractor]

Anyone used one of these Woods Turf Renovators? I'm thinking about picking one up to do some refurbishment on a few acres of pasture that have never been seeded. I'm wondering if this attachment can really do the job of a harrow, seeder, aerator or would I be better off getting a couple of other pieces of equipment to get the job done right? Not that there's anything wrong with getting more toys... ; )

Looks like a very expensive piece of equipment. If your use of it is a one time deal maybe you should look for one you can rent rather than buy. Just my two cents!

I've rented one on 2 separate occasions. They do a decent job, but not spectacular. The spikes on the rolers tend to "shed" or bend over when you hit even the smallest of rocks. They work really well in tilled soil, but tend to be a compromise (at best) in established turf.
