Rated 1 out of 5 by from Bought this aerator, actually I bought the 48 inch model. I was going to use it this weekend, unfortunately the item came with the bolts and nuts all over the place, large pieces missing and lots of scratches on the metal parts. It looks like someone tried to put it together and gave up. I'm not happy with recieving a used product online! It wasted my plan for the weekend. The return to the local home depot store was no problem.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from very happy with it, although the tray could be a little deeper for putting weight on it and mabye some eyelets on the side for securing the weight from shifting around on side slopes. you will need lots of pulling power depending on how much weight you need for proper penetration so a smaller tractor might have trouble on any hills

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great little plug aerator Great little plug aerator. Use a drum full of water in the weight rack or else it will not penetrate the ground at all. Used it twice on lawn which hasn't been done in at least 10 years, if not ever. Much cheaper than paying someone to come and do it. Buy once and have it for ? Hopefully a few years.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works well Works pretty good. You need to do it in the spring while the ground is still moist or after a really good rain. Put a couple of cinder blocks on it plus a few smaller bricks and it seemed to work fine for the most part except on areas that were really hard. Install time was a couple of hours.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from So-so I was missing a part, contacted Brinly and have been ignored. I had to improvise as I had no desire of going through the return process in the Covid world. Aerator performs satisfactorily, plugs would be more consistent to gouges.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works great I was a little concerned about the wide spacing between the plugs. assembly which was super easy and fairly quick. After the first use I was very impressed. My lawn is 6 acres and I was able to get it all done in a timely manner.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Poor quality control Started assembling, couldn't even get through first step before problems started to arise. Returning it. Could re drill holes, but if it's that bad right off the hop, I can only imagine what the rest of assembly will go like.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Not durable This unit works but the spikes bend very easily. Not a durable product.

Can it disperse Scott’s Corn Gluton fertilizer without jamming?

Asked by: JEmm
It’s an aerator, it can’t dispense anything. It punches plugs into your lawn.

How much extra weight can be added...

...until the "spoons" bend/ break?? I live where the ground is full of clay and just wonder how tough the "spoons" are? I have a 23 hp kubota tractor that will pull this and I know to do this when the ground is moist/wet to aid in penetration. Hope someone might help?? Thx Rob
Asked by: volitan01
Hi Volitan01, You can add an extra 150 lbs maximum. It is recommended to have the ground moist not wet when you go to aerate it. I hope this helps.

WILL THIS WORK WITH A S100 JOHN DEERE RIDING MOWER

Asked by: James
James, Thank you for the question. The PA-403BH only requires a hitch plate. It has a hitch clevis with a universal hitch pin design that easily attaches to lawn tractors, ATVs, and UTVs. Your Cub Cadet is equipped with a hitch plate. If you have any questions, please contact customer service at 877.728.8224
