Works like it should
6 years ago
I’ve used this four times and it’s worked very well. Just wanted to leave a couple comments that might assist you if you purchase this.
Use gloves when assembling. The spikes are very sharp from the factory and you will be handling them as well as handling other parts while in close proximity to the spikes.
Lay out your parts and follow the instructions. The instructions are complete and there is an accurate parts diagram. I had no issues with assembly.
If you have to raise and lower the spikes frequently due to tight turns or having to cross hard surfaces, consider a modification I made. I drilled a hole in the handle that raised and lowers the spikes, attached a rope through the hole, then attached the rope to the back of the mower. This way I can reach back and raise the spikes without having to get off the mower every time.
After several uses, the spikes may become blunt due to hitting rocks etc. The most efficient way for me to sharpen them was using an impact driver to remove the nut that secures each spike, then sharpen the spikes with a grinder.
Hope this helps.

Extremely Disappointed Cheaply Made

Left wheel wobbles. Cannot be straightened. Shaft weld broke and it’s sitting in yard totally unusable. Got one season out of it. Very cheap material. Not tough at all. Cheap.

Great Aerator
14 days ago
Purchased this a month or so ago to plug aerate my two acre lawn. I have rented a walk behind machine in the past. This saved me so much time AND did as good or better job. No dealing with crazy heavy equipment to load/unload and no longer an all day project. It does come fully disassembled--so you will spend some time putting together, but I knew this and the instructions were clear.

Assembled, trial run successful
4 months ago
I purchased this 48" plugger/aerator from a retailer; it was discounted because a previous purchaser had returned the box of parts. I assembled the machine, took it for a slow test pass over slightly rain-moistened soil, the machine performed quite well. We're on four acres of turfgrass, I'm anxious to see how well the machine performs in the future.
**One word of advice: having used a smaller Agri-Fab plugger in the past, this machine is NOT designed to tolerate reverse movement with the core knives down as it will strain the towing tongue to the point that the tongue may break, which is likely not covered by the machine's warranty. I would advise the manufacturer to clearly state this in the owner's manual, and perhaps state it somewhere on the device itself.

It works, assembly was fine, tines need protection
4 months ago
It was a bit of assembly, but pretty straightforward. I would recommend putting duct tape on the tips of the tines before starting so you don't have cut up hands and arms like I had. It would be nice if they came from the factory with some kind of rubber dip on the tips. The aerator works. I only used it once, and I'll be interested in seeing if the dried plugs that stayed in the tines come out without pressure washing.
