I've never seen one of these guys before, while I was looking at designs for Sulky Aerators(there are 3 commercial products I'm aware of for that) I found this weird tool, looks like it would be pretty easy to DIY if you don't wanna spend 77 bucks on a few aerators plugs and a ring of steel welded together… If any of you have used one, or if the DIY aerator crowd wants to weigh in.
The only real problem I see with it is going to be turning, and it's only 1 line of aeration, so you're not getting much aeration unless you triple cut and have a ton of overlap.

You ever see a video of someone with like a kitchen faucet attached hose spraying a multi-story building fire next door to them? They’re probably more effective at putting the fire out than this is to aerate.
This thing looks like it’ll do more damage than good.
I got the $30 tri-prongs hand held core aeration. A decent workout for a whole day worth.
I would rent the actual core aeration from home depot if I have a truck to carry the machine.
That’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. Unless your lawn is as soft as a mud pit, that thing doesn’t stand a chance.
The spike shoes are more effective than one of these things on a mower. Or just hire out aeration to a company. Depending on your lawn size it’ll probably cost less than 200 bucks, maybe less than 100.
Weight is a big factor which push mowers don’t have. Plus the transport issue. Not to mention how many times you have to go over your lawn.
This will fuck your lawn up. Especially the edging.
RIP mower blades
Send me $100 instead. It’ll be put to better use
I bought this just to try it out, it doesn’t work, save your money
With this tool you can achieve an unlevel cut and a poor aeration all at the same time. Usually you can only get one of the two!
Gonna last about 0.018 seconds lol
LOL Wouldn’t this be pulling hard left nonstop?
Peak capitalism here.. selling dumb useless shit, to dumb people.
Can I get a set for my car?
Anything designed to do two things doesn’t do either one particularly well.
This might work if you keep it installed all year and don’t overlap your tracks.
Aerators are really hard to transport because they’re heavy af. Why? Because they need all that weight to actually punch down into the ground.
I’m so grateful for our local high school football team, they will aerate our yard every April with the big machines for a fund raiser.
That corner of the lawn mower won’t be heavy enough to push the tines into the ground
This can’t possibly be real. Is it Easter or April Fools?
My lawn mower would have to weigh 500 lbs to push through my Texas clay soil.
All for $76 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what is sad is they will sell enough to keep seeking them next year too
Hahahaha yeah have fun going across every inch or your yard a dozen times, maybe if the wheels were 3-4 of these wide the idea would work amazing but with the way it’s set up you are aerating like 2 inches per pass, you probably would get done faster with one of those 4 inch wide spike wheels on the end of a pole
