Not worth it. To get a true core aeration you would need to pull up a ton more cores. Plus, I couldn’t imagine trying to mow with that on and you would get an uneven cut.

 

I actually invented this product for myself and because it worked out so well I brought it to market! I’ve sold over 1000 sales and five returns that tells you something. Plus I manufacture every aspect and sell the TINES commercially.
This product is designed for gradual aeration and or mowing you get a flat cut as the lowest point is where the blade cuts because of the high-speed of the blade, it always cuts at the lowest setting as usual, with slightly damp soil and speed works nicely. The kinetic action drives the aeration times deep into the soil because the wheel is 1/2 the size of a rental aeration machine diameter, therefore it four X times the PSI. Commenting on products you’ve never used in life and attempting to dissuade others from purchasing does little good for humanity, most Men don’t listen to other opinions especially with no first-hand use of the product! I personally guarantee you all CORE AERATOR WHEELS are 💯 guaranteed.

I didn't look into it enough, but I assume it wasn't intended for mowing at the same time. Rather, the mower is the mechanism by which the aerator propels forward to create the cores. I suppose this is a step up from manual core aeration.

 

Anyone interested in a stinger 24 inch aerator 2020 model very few hours and 13 horsepower Honda commercial engine

 

Pretty gimmicky idea to be honest. Who wants to aerate every mow? There’s no reason for that, and you’d have to mow around a ton to get any coverage at best, with ideal conditions to be able to get any cores to pull.

 

Most opinions with zero first-hand experience of a product most men do not listen to. So I don’t know why you would make an opinion about something you never used in your life.

I’ve used and designed this product for myself. It works very decent for a homeowner a one time cost $84 and ability to aerate on a weekly basis genius. The holes add up in no time, they are 2 1/2 inches deep and even in Edmontons dry clay type soil and most other US cities as I’ve mailed out over 1000 so far and only had five returns I would say that that speaks volumes! Have 100% satisfaction guarantee if you can’t figure it out! Check on my YouTube channel Green Scott, plenty of videos even comparisons with a rental aeration machine.

 

I wouldn’t equate ‘criticism of the concept’ to equal ‘product doesn’t function as intended’. It doesn’t appear the latter is being said here, rather, the concept is probably not going to resonate with a bunch of lawn enthusiasts who are very particular about their lawns. Can’t say that would make them any less of a man. Welcome to the Lawn Forum, where opinions are a significant part of the dialogue.

 

Then let’s all just talk about everything with ZERO knowledge and go with our feelings on every topic. Forum of guessing and assuming 👍🏻

 

Am I understanding the product correctly that only one of the wheels is pulling cores?

 

Yes correct you basically push your machine while mowing and aerating it does take an additional 5-10% extra effort. Intended for small to medium sized homes 🏡. The faster you go the greater the kinetic force.

 

I might build the ultimate mower. One of these core aerators on the left wheel to aerate, welded salt and pepper shakers filled with AMS on the right wheel to fertilize and an IV bag on the rear to water. Preorders available

 

I know this is an old thread, but about 15 years ago I bought a core aerator attachment for my Sears front-bladed roto-tiller. It has 8 wheels with 3 coring tines each, staggered for smooth operation. It simply replaces the tilling blades on the two sides of the shaft, and is fully self propelled using the tilling clutch to start/stop motion. I use the aerator attachment a lot more frequently than the roto-tiller blades. I have to run the motor on slow idle, otherwise I have to sprint across my lawn.

As I recall it was not meant to go on my exact model of tiller, but it works fine. The blades extend a little wider than the tiller fender, but it does not affect its operation. The holes for the clevis pin line up perfectly with the holes in my tiller shaft. Although Sears is gone, I suspect the company that OEMed it for Sears is still around (I suspect B&T, MTD, or someone like that), so if you have a front-blade roto-tiller anyone could probably find a suitable attachment with some searching.

 

Hi Scott, I wish you nothing but success. Congratulations on bringing a product to market - not small feat! I invented and brought a pizza making tool to market. I've sold over 50K of them. After 25 years it was heavily knocked off by cheap chinese products, but it still sells. It has been quite an experience! Live for your fans and just ignore the haters. Dr. Suess said it best: "Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind!" Or something like that, anyway. Providing quality in both product and customer service is your nest friend 👍👍 Gary
