Review: Heavy Duty - After shopping around at the local big box retailers, I decided to check this out on desertcart. Honestly, I didnt see how desertcart would be able to offer this aerator at a competitive price considering its weight and shipping costs. Boy, was I wrong. Not only was the price less than the big box stores, but using desertcart Prime, this was delivered in 2 days! As to the aerator, I have no complaints. The assesmbly did take a good hour, but if you have the right tools, its easy. The aerator is of high quality and solid construction. I have aeratored 4 lots (each over 1/2 acres) and have been very pleased with the results as well as the durability of the unit. I have hit a few trees, backed into things, turned too sharp, etc....and have had no issues with the aerator, have not broken anything or bent anything so far. I am 6'1 and can reach the control arm on the aerator without getting off the tractor. I would imagine if you are shorter, or if the tractor you are using is larger, you may have to get off the tractor to raise and lower the aerator. Even if you would have to do this, I still don't see it as an issue or a reason to decrease a star from the rating. Pros: Heavy Duty - High Quality Sharp, Core Plug Aerator Heavy Duty Wheels Easy to Assemble (1 Hour with recommended tools) No more renting and hauling back and fourth Con: May have to dismount tractor to raise and lower aerator Takes ups a decent amount of space in garage :) Review: Great, heavy duty aerator. Awful QA by desertcart; Long Assembly - I was skeptical after reading reviews of missing parts and difficulty putting it together. My skepticism proved true. When I arrived home I found the box half opened with holes in the box. It was wrapped in packing tape but the box looked like it had been opened and returned. I decided to keep an open mind and not return it. Before assembling, I did a part count to make sure I had everything I needed. Like previous reviews, they didn't ship me all the parts. I was missing the main shaft and a bunch of spacers. (TIP: do the part inventory BEFORE ASSEMBLING). I called Agri-Fab and the lady was very helpful. She was actually annoyed when I told her about the packaging and missing parts. She acted like their products were usually shipped like this when purchased from desertcart. It took 2 business days to get the parts I was missing. From start to finish, it took me roughly 2 hours to put together. Before each step, its helpful if you lay out the hardware needed as the hardware is pretty much all mixed into one bag. I used an impact driver to put mine together and that seemed to save a lot of time. After the unit is put together, its very nice and works well. Its very heavy duty. Just getting to the point of use seems to be the difficult part. If you're looking for a good aerator this is your choice. If you're missing basic parts like washers, lock nuts, and bolts i'd just make a run to your local hardware store to save time. But parts specific to the aerator (IE.. what I was missing) will need to be ordered from Agri-fab. If you can find this model in a store and they'll do assembly for you, you're golden ## Features - MADE IN USA - 32 galvanized knives to penetrate the soil easily. - Pulls plugs up to 3 inches deep for thicker and healthier lawn. - Flat free tires for smooth transport. - Simple-to-use cantilever transport handle for easy raising and lowering. - 3 Year Limited Consumer Warranty; Made in the USA with some imported materials ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #18,061 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #24 in Manual Lawn Aerators | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 2,438 Reviews | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Agri-Fab - **Color:** Black - **Material:** Metal, Rubber - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 35"D x 60"W x 36"H ## Images ![Agri-Fab 48" Plug Aerator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MFPjtVJML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this actually make plugs that it leaves in the yard or does it just punch holes in the yard?** A: It makes plugs in your yard, and plenty of them. **Q: can anyone that has had this for a few seasons tell me how well it is holding up from a durability standpoint. Any input is appreciated.** A: I have had mine about 2 years now, used it for 5 large pieces of land, some a little bumpy, but mostly flat. Works great with 3 8x8x16 cinder-blocks strapped in for weight. I think it works great and seems to be quite durable. Like someone else said, clear the mud and small rocks from the knives, clean it, keep it inside if you can, it should last for years. Wear gloves to assemble or you'll surely bleed. Sharp knives. Then you'll want to sharpen them up for the next season. Like the product. Glad I bought it. **Q: Do you think someone can pull this by hand?** A: No they would need to pull it with some motorixed something ... Lawnmower, four wheeler, or something else. Could not be used by pulling it by hand ..!!! **Q: Mine came missing the main shaft, who do I contact to to get one sent to me?** A: I’d call the manufacturer. Mine came with one bolt that was the wrong size. I called the manufacturer and they sent a replacement out in 2 days. Did your shipping box have any holes in it? The shaft is just a straight rod. It would be pretty easy for it to slip out of the box if there were a hole in one end. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy Duty *by D***6 on June 16, 2014* After shopping around at the local big box retailers, I decided to check this out on Amazon.
