    Amazing how more and more companies are building attachments for mowers. Definitely a cost saving concept versus purchasing dedicated expensive equipment that are only used several weeks a year.

    Great video. We have 2 Aero8tor. They make weights (50lbs) that connect to rear axle area. You had a good idea for those running the stander mowers.

    Does this work in reverse? What have you come up with for the areas that need aeration but aren't accessible with this or any other tow behind unit? Want to get this but I have a lot of medium to small size properties with random beds and things in the lawn that I don't think I could get to with just this

    • @HandyGuy2016
      @HandyGuy2016  2 роки тому

      Yes it works in reverse. If you need to go through gates smaller than 36", I would recommend a walk behind aerator for those areas.

      Not really a good fit for the area I'm in. A lot of larger properties here and I need to cover more ground faster. I would like to get a 36" stinger stand on aerator eventually.

    Yeah,you got weight on it but I think the weights need to be distributed on top of the spindles. But it still did a good job when you added more weight.

      The Zrator is good, it's just not a as efficient as I had hoped and it needs to be on a very heavy mower ideally.

    Hey is it worth the $1,800 Ballard inc is asking? That's a steep price.. I have a 36 scag swzt idk if it's too much for my mower. I also have a pro stance 48 that they claim can mount to standers with the flip up deck.

    • @HandyGuy2016
      @HandyGuy2016  Рік тому

      It is extremely well built, so if you have the demand for aeration where you can make money, this is a lot cheaper than buying a stand on aerator.

    • @calebwillems7968
      @calebwillems7968 Рік тому +1

      If you have hills or any slope the 36 slides down. Then you are stuck at the bottom. This doesn’t work for commercial setups. It hauls terrible and needs ideal conditions to work.
