Agri-Fab Push Spike Walk Behind Aerator for Aerating Lawns and Grass Model # 45-0365

It does not go deep enough and the blades are too thin

I've read other not so great reviews but here's the real deal folks. DON'T USE IT AS THE NAME SUGGESTS!! "PUSH". The trick is to pull it behind you as if you're a horse pulling a plow' SO SO SO much easier!!! Was a breaze!!! Forget about a cinder block. Yes the tray is too small. I was fortunate enough to have 2 10 lb dumbells with hexagon heads that I placed in the tray. They didn't roll & worked great. I also tried it with regular bricks that I had in the yard. Used 3 of them. It doesn't take a whole lot of extra weight in tray to dig spikes a bit deeper. Buy a couple dumbells. You can use them for excercise for yourself when you're done. The absolute real trick is to PULL IT BEHIND YOU. Works like a dream. Piece of cake. No amount of real extra effort involved as is if you are trying to push it. It is best if done when ground is slightly moist like after the morning dew. I wish it was a little bigger but am still very pleased with it. Thanks,

Delivery and service was fine. In the description of the product it stated that a cinder(cement) block could be used as a weight in using this products. However all cement & cinders blocks are a standard 8 inches and the place to put the block is only 7.5 inches... very miss leading.

Was anxious to get the product to use to aerate small areas of my yard. When trying it out for the first time, found that the tray is not wide enough to hold a standard cap block and the handle is designed for someone that is either under 5' tall or has extremely long arms. I'm 5' 10" and had to bend way over to work with this thing. I also had to use multiple small bricks to add any weight which resulted in the weight distribution being off as well as the bricks constantly falling off the tray. Since I had waited 2 weeks to get it and spent the time putting it together, I made the most of it but my back paid for it the next morning.

Very flimsy cheap metal. Needs more weight than a standard CMU Block 8" x 8" x 16". Needs longer spikes. Basically useless. Will definately give you a workout. Anyone need one for 1/2 off? Just kidding. Used once and put back in box. Save your money folks.
