Sturdy, does the job. Aug 12, 2005
By Steven M. Ross
I purchase the Agri-fab 40 inch plug aerator from Amazon. It did require assembly. The instruction were not bad but it did take some time to put all of the plug spools together. Assembly around one and a half hours.
It is easy to use. The long handle that the Amazon review mentions is helpful but the handle still moves too far away when the points are down to easily reach it from the seat. I just put a rope on it to pull it back up and solved the problem. For my soil, it did require the maximum weight on the tray to drive the points into the ground. Also, I had to drive slowly to get the points well into the ground. So, if you have a very large area to aerate, I suggest that you get the largest aerator that you can. (I think they make a 48 in model also).
Overall I am happy. Only used it once but it seems sturdy. One star off for the handle issue and the slightly tedious assembly.

overall happy Oct 01, 2006
By maxud

Overall I am pretty happy with the product.
It arrived in a beat up box, with lots of loose parts inside. Thankfully, nothing managed to fall out during shipping. The box is very heavy, and does not take well to the shipping abuse. Putting it together was a chore. I am handy with tools, but it took me over 2 hours to put it together, and few bloody knuckles. Never the less, it came together nicely. I got four 8 by 8 by 16 cement blocks for it. It hooks up to the tractor with a pin.
Last week I had a chance to do the plugging of my yard. I am very happy with the results. I have 1/2 acre lot and spent about 1.5 hours going around the yard. I experimented with tractor speed and decided that going fast is not good, you end up tearing up the ground more than plugging. Then I set tractor on cruise control and took it nice and slow.
Originally I was debating if I should go with 48" model, I am glad I did not. My yard has lots of obstacles, so 40" is a better choice. Its about as wide as my tractor. Going backwards is a pain, as well as engaging and disengaging the lever from a tractor seat. After using it for the first time, I inspected the machine, and everything looked good. Nothing bent or broke. There was one small stone stuck in one of the plug makers, so I had to knock it out with a hammer.

Good Customer Service at Agri-Fab Sep 21, 2005
By L. Rosa
Thank God for good customer service at Agri-Fab because out of the box one of the bolts did not have thread. Agri-Fab customer service sent a new one next day (free of charge). During my second use the weld on one of the double spindles that hold the knives came loose but again customer service came through and sent a replacement (no questions asked). All in all things happen but good customer service goes a long way to keep a customer happy when stuff breaks.

 Not worth half the cost Sep 14, 2007
By C. Farmer
Wheel weld sheared off after 4 hours of use. Middle plate that holds the axles sheared off after 5 hours of use. Machine was used behind JD garden tractor with "normal" usage and failed after 4-5 hours. Took it back and bought the JD for twice as much, but the construction is FAR superior.

Be ready for a bumpy construction ride initially but then all is good Dec 12, 2007
By C. P. Andersen
Like several other reviewers, I too received an 83 lb box delivered on my front door step only to find after hauling the item inside the house that the large plastic bag containing numerous small parts needed for construction of the unit was not properly sealed. Patiently I searched through out the box containing heavy steel parts to find I was short parts needed for a complete assembly. I called the Agri-Fab company and spoke with Sarah who did a great job at helping me identify and replace (in only 2 days) my missing parts. Assembly is somewhat confusing even for a well seasoned veteran. Pictures help but only hours of time with trial and error eventaully produced a completed assembly. The good news - this is a great aerator for the money. Heavy contruction and good design of operaton made my first use a definite success easily equaling that of hiring a professional to come and do the job. Good tine penetration produced hundreds of soil plugs across the lawn. I am looking forward to using the arator twice yearly with similiar results. Works great - will last for years - just be patient with the shortcomings of getting the unit assembled.
