It was a beast too assemble.

Definitely recommend getting this version with transportation wheels.The tines are very sturdy and do a good job penetrating the ground.It's important that it sits approximately horizontal when on the wheels when connected to your mower, because if not, the unit leans backwards significantly. I had 2 layers of CMU blocks on it and had filled the voids with stone to get to the maximum capacity. I ran into a problem when backing up the unit into a storage space and the bottom tray buckled because it was leaning back badly. I called Brinly and they sent me a replacement tray. I straightened the original tray and mounted it upside down under the replacement tray to strengthen it. I then bought a 3" drop adapter so that the unit is now level when on the wheels and have not had a problem with backing it into place.It tows easily. An improvement would be to provide an angled arm for lowering the tines so the arm doesn't drag on the ground.

Got this to keep the grass looking nice. Easy to put together. Wheels make it easier to move from the garage to the grass. Added cement blocks to add weight. It also pulls rocks out of the ground, making it a advantage for grass to grow in its place.

Putting the tines on the aerator was both tricky and risky. This item should be delivered with the tines installed.Packaging could have been better as my box was pretty banged up. I checking promptly to make sure that parts were not missing.I'd opt for a plug spreader next time.

Assembly was easy following directions, just took about 35-40 minutes. Using 2 cinder blocks for extra weight, it did a good job. Just make sure to use it after a rain or after watering. It won't penatrate well if the ground is on the drier side. This tool a long with the dethatcher, lawn roller and lawn sweeper has made my lawn care a lot easier.

Definitely a heavy duty product that should last a long time. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. It is sharp, so wear gloves. Only complaints I have are that the holes for straps are poorly designed to actually hold a strap and the bolts holding the tow bar on do not lock well. Despite tightening as much as possible, one bolt came off in less than an hour and the second was very loose. Replaced it with a better locking nut.

Based on what I see it should do the job for what it is designed to do. It was easy to put together following the instructions, all parts came with the unit. I would not however recommend any children or pets around this because it could very easily impale a dog or child or even yourself if you drop it while you're picking it up for any reason. All the spike blades are razor Sharp which I'm sure will dull after a few times of being used which would be fine with me or still do the job.
