Never personally used an aerator. Local implement dealer has them for category 1 3-point hitch, don't know the price and my use would be only couple of times a year. They have spikes on a roller. Saw a homemade one for towing behind large riding mower. This one had triangle spikes, somewhat like sickle knives, welded onto a pipe roller. He had water tank for ballast on top of the frame. The triangles would leave slots in the direction of travel and kick up much less sod than the spikes- seems to me. I don't have time to build one right now. What about aerators and especially the one I saw that would make slots?

JT is correct, the core aerators,are way better .It leaves plugs that look like cat t**ds,but they disolve. The resulting holes let,water,fertilizer,air into the soil.I bought one a couple of years ago, but last year late in the season (now) I saw a few at Home Depot at a price that made my jaw drop.

The best aerator to use is a core type. they actually take little plugs of dirt out and leaves a little hole for water and fertilizer to get to root system. By using a spike aerator, you leave holes also, but you kinda loose the effects, because where the spikes go into the ground, you are compacting the soil arond the holes. If you want a decent one to use, Brinley Hardey sell them for about 250-350.00 for a 40 or 48". They look like a well built product
