Precision Products PA42GY 42-Inch Plug Aerator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this Aerator a few months ago. One of the many reasons I chosen this one was the description on how heavy duty it is... When my packaged arrived I was a bit concerned at first, because the aerator plugs where protruding through the box it was shipped in. I immediately opened the box and no damaged was done.. This problem was also mentioned in the previous review(still don't know why the manufacture doesn't use a thicker cardboard to ship it in. Anyways assembly was a snap, and let me you tell you this is a heavy duty aerator.. The Aerator wheels (6)are all independently traveling, which is nice when you are wanting to make a turn(no chance of the aerator wheels twisting.. I love this aerator and as you can see from my video.. I must have...

The Precision Products PA42GY 42-inch plug aerator removes plugs from your lawn, loosening soil and allowing nutrients to reach your grass' roots. Like all plug aerators, it is best for use in clay soils, in areas like playgrounds and sports fields that get heavy traffic, and lawns that are burned-out or damaged by drought. The aerator has thirty-two 13-gauge steel plugging spoons that penetrate as deep as 2-1/2 inches. It attaches to nearly any mowing tractor and features a steel-reinforced towing bar. For ease of use, a single-action level can be reached easily from the tractor and engages or disengages the aerator with one pull. An 11-gauge steel tray holds an additional 150 pounds of weight to increase penetration level. The aerator rolls smoothly on two 10-inch pneumatic tires with steel wheels. A limited 90-day warranty covers the aerator.--Jeffrey Dalto

Yard Butler D-6C Core Lawn Aerator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This aerator works as it's intended, and wetting the lawn half a day before coring does make it much easier. We have clay underneath the lawn, so the part that was dry was quite hard to core through. It's been a week and a half, and we can see some green grass coming out of the brown patches now. And in response to the person that mentioned it's hard to empty out the holes, you don't need to empty it, just keep pushing it into the ground. Each dig pushes out the dirt from the prior dig. After you're done, just stand up a stick on the ground and push through it to empty the hole, simple as that.
Having said all that, I did see a very similar corer/aerator at home depot for $20. Wish I had bought that one.
Also, a word of advice - stay away from the 4-prong aerator. It's hard enough to push through the 2-prong, I can't imagine the 4-prong working too well.

The Yard Butler D-6C Core Lawn Aerator is great for old lawns or lawns where a lot of activity takes place. These type of yards become compacted.

Your lawn care professional can tell you the best times to aerate in your climate zone.Core aeration reduces compaction and thatch to let air, water and fertilizer down to the root zone.

Precision Products 40-Inch Spike Aerator TA-400WW Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The unit is pretty heavy duty and seems very strong and durable once put together. With the exception of the tires. The tires should be a lot wider for when trying to left the spikes from the ground and having a heavy load on the weight shelf. Which by the way, you will need a very heavy load to place on the shelf...otherwise the spikes will not penetrate the ground. And another thing... BE sure to have raked and/or picked up all the leaves before starting to use this item, otherwise the leaves will collect on the spikes and then they will not penetrate any further than the leaves will allow.
The Aerator was fairly hard to put together...even following the instructions...and I am a Handy Man by trade. The problem is getting the spike's on the shaft in a good and balanced order. I had to cut in half one of the plastic spacers in order to "balance space the spike "star wheels" on the shaft.
I thought about returning this item, but figured I could make some modifications to it later that may make it better.

Hound Dog Products HDP3-8 Turf Hound Aerator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Turf Hound Aerator was purchased in Feb. 2008. I waited until after the rainy season to aerate my lawns in April and May. Very easy to use: grab the top handle and step on the bottom crossbar to punch holes in the lawn (with the two sharpened tubes on the bottom). That facilitates air, water, and fertilizer to reach the root systems for greener lawns.
Some things I've noticed (as have others):
Works best in semi-moist soil. Too dry and cutting becomes difficult; too wet and the soil plugs get stuck and don't come out the top of the tubes.
Try to step in the middle of the crossbar so the cutting tubes are perpendicular to the ground for even holes, less bending of the sharpened ends of the tubes, and less clogging.
When the sharpened ends of the tubes get bent, the soil plugs don't come out. Simple solution: don't try to pry out the stuck plugs with a screw driver, that may roughen the inside of the tubes or bend the cutting edges. Rinsing with water doesn't push out the stuck plugs either. Rather, go to a patch of lawn with slightly moist soil, step a few times and the moist plugs are pushed out. Now turn the aerator over and tap on the crossbar with a rubber mallet to get the remaining soil plugs out.
When the sharpened ends do get bent from tough soil/grass/rocks, I use an 10" old steel tubing just slightly smaller in diameter than the cutting tubes and tap it through the top with a rubber mallet. That straightens out the bent edges somewhat uniformly.
The Turf Hound Aerator does have a lifetime exchange guarantee so one can get a replacement at the cost of shipping it back to the manufacturer.
One last note: I DON'T leave the extruded soil plugs in my front lawns because they resemble dog doodoo and some thoughtless neighbors may mistake them as an invitation to use my front lawns as a pet porta-potty.
Check out my lawn in the customer submitted pics. Good Luck!

Vinturi Essential Wine Aerators, Red Wine and White Wine, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the pair of these (for red and white wines) because Amazon's price for a bundle was very good. So, when they arrived, I grabbed a bottle of red and a bottle of white wine and did some taste comparisons with the wife. We tasted a wine before and after aerating. I have to say, if nothing else, these things are very entertaining. When you pour wine into the top and it comes out the bottom into your wine glass, the wine bubbles loudly and it makes you laugh - very entertaining for a party. The difference is very noticeable. Wine run through the aerator is smoother and has more flavor. Nobody has ever guessed wrong about whether a wine was aerated or not. The quality of wine affects how the aerator works. A really bad wine may become drinkable, but don't expect it to become even good. On the other hand, a mediocre wine can become quite drinkable. So, your mileage will vary, but you should taste the difference clearly. I liked them so much, I bought another package and sent it to my duaghter who is also a wine lover. Great product.

As wine breathes, it releases its intended aromas and flavors. Unlike time-consuming decanters, Vinturi's simple Essential Wine Aerator makes the aerating process easy and convenient. This set includes two Essential Wine Aerators--one for red wine and one for white.
When wine is poured in the Vinturi, its design creates an increase in the wine's velocity and a decrease in its pressure. This pressure difference draws in air, which is mixed with wine for perfect aeration. Sample the nose. You'll appreciate the subtle aromatic differences and the full aroma of the wine, and you'll notice that the wine is more flavorful and has better mouthfeel. Made of acrylic, each Essential Wine Aerator comes with a no-drip stand and a travel pouch. And both the aerator and stand are dishwasher safe, while the travel pouch is machine washable. Each measures 6 inches high and 2 inches wide.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had mixed feelings about this item, Read some reviews and watched a video, I decided to purchase this Mow-Aerator because my property is slopy and the drive tire would slip/slide somtimes, After installing this product i was able to cut the grass with ease and no more sliding down the hills, I had tryed tire chains but they didnt work nearly as well as this Mow-Aerator worked, Also i did notice a differnce in my lawn after using the product, My lawn looked healthier, Works good with semi soft soil,Not good for hard packed soil or rocky soil as the spikes bend, The product isnt a real heavy duty and over time the spikes will bend from use, Overall the product is ok, I would say for limited use the product would do fine, I purchased another set of wheels and tires and mounted the Mow-Aerator to them, When my lawn is damp i will switch to the Mow-Aerators, then when the grass is dry i can usally get the job done with the std tires and wheels.

Troy-Bilt TB154 9-Inch 6.5 Amp Electric Garden Cultivator/Tiller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this machine last year with the money from my government stimulus check. Technically, it is called a cultivator, not a tiller, so I didn't know what to expect out of it power-wise. I was intent on putting in a decent-sized garden, but the only place in my yard that was getting good sun was also the spot where my lawn grew the thickest. I mowed the lawn and then went to work on it with the cultivator. With the narrow width, it naturally took me a good bit of time to till up approximately 16' x 32' plot of thick lawn, but I took my time and this machine did it in a day. I gave it a second tilling at a cross angle. I did have some grass come back in the garden, but this year I don't expect any of it to still be there.
With the success I had on the garden spot, I went ahead and dug up huge stretches of my yard and built planters. These spots equaled the size of the garden spot. Then, in about three stages, I gradually tilled up my entire back yard (where grass would no longer grow due to shade) and planted it all in clover. This year I added more garden space by tilling up another chunk of lawn approximately 8' x 32'. I have tilled it twice, but will hit it one more time to make sure I've gotten all the grass killed this year. I've also-re-tilled last years garden area which I had over-wintered in clover.
One thing that had concerned me was the instructions to remove the tines after each use and clean them. This turned out to be an extremely easy task, as they are held in place with ring pins and slide right off the axle. The tines are extremely tough on this machine. I've jammed large rocks in them and also bounced it off the edge of my concrete driveway. It just keeps chugging away with a minimum of care. Troy-Bilt makes a more expensive gas model, but I looked at them in the store and the tines appear to be exactly the same. This model is quiet and you never have to mess with oil and gas. Get a heavy-duty extension cord (or two)--the heavier the gauge the better to get full power to the machine.
