Amazon.com Review:
Great for do-it-yourself lawn care, Agri-Fab's spike aerator perforates sod and grass to let in nutrients, air, and moisture for a healthier lawn. An array of rotating star-shape tines slices into the soil to allow additional seed, fertilizer, water, air, and light to reach the grass roots. The 5- to 7-inch spiked wheels provide up to 2-1/2 inches of aeration depth. The long axle offers a 16-inch aerating width to cover a lot of ground fast. The aerator is equipped with a steel weight tray designed to hold a concrete block that pushes the spikes into moist ground. Some tool-less assembly is required. The spike aerator is covered by an Agri-Fab 12-month warranty on parts and labor. --Brian Olson




Rating: - Order lost but replacement of order was excellent
The order was lost in the mail but once I got in touch with the vendor to let them know I had not received anything, I was notified it was being refilled and got the package the following business day. It was handled excellently and I couldn't have been more satisfied.

Rating: - Use a Nail Instead
I bought this with some hope that it would break the matting on turf grass, I wasn't even looking for aeration. This product is useless for either endeavor. A cinder block lacked the weight to punch through the grass. I modified the unit by welding two rods to the plate so I could attach weights. Started with 30lbs and still didn't work. At 60 lbs the unit worked but you could imagine pulling that weight around. This thing has a few design problems - if you pull it, you are lifting its weight off ... Read More

Rating: - Don't waste your money
Don't waste your money on this. They didn't even put enough thought into it as to have a standard cinder block fit on it. You will be breaking one up to make it fit, or find yourself at the hardware store looking for smaller ones to fit the platform. Even then, it doesn't seem to really dig into the ground well, even after watering. This is probably because it's more of a rolling motion than a downward motion. Sounds like a good idea, but not when it's put into practice.

Rating: - Aerator Lite
After the first use (on a rain-soaked yard, as recommended), I'm a little disappointed. Placing a solid flat cinderblock on the platform, I was unable to PUSH the aerator without the teeth digging in and stopping forward movement altogether. So I had to PULL it instead. If not for the fact that I have a small yard (20' x 40'), this would have taken forever. It seems to "aerate" but compared to the "plug-style" machines, this is a poor substitute. (On the other hand, what would you expect for $40?)

Rating: - Good for occasional use
What's good about this product? It's cheap, for one thing, and easy to pull out and run across the lawn without a lot of setup. Renting a power aerator is a big production. What's not great? Well, it's a bit flimsy, but so far is holding together. The tines aren't very sharp -- I took a grinding wheel to mine to encourage better soil penetration. It requires a pretty significant weight load to get any usable penetration depth. I usually load two cinder blocks lashed to the pedestal with a couple ... Read More
