Hi folks,
Running around my 1/2 acre yard with my John Deere X570 lawn tractor tends to compact the soil, especially where I turn a lot. Yes, aeration, probably annually, is the answer. But.....
The gas powered ones run over 10 grand. That's a lot of loot for as much as I'll use it. No, I wouldn't justify the expense by doing other lawns.
We paid to have it done last year and ended up having weeds transferred to our yard due to the machine not being cleaned between uses. We're not going that route again.
Soooo..... What are the more affordable options for a reliable/durable plug aerator that will be used on harder soil and can be pulled around by my X570? I realize it won't be cheap, just wondering about decent options. Thanks.
