    Answer This Question

    A:  I recommend removing bagger. You can attach with bagger on but aerator lift arm could hit bagger on sharp turns.

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello, thank you for your interest in our product. The PA-400JD will penetrate the lawn removing up to 3" plugs of soil. Where as the TA-400JD is designed to groom your lawn and remove thatch. These are different types of equipment, but both have their own advantages for your lawn.

          Received this unit one month ago and I have now used it twice (right after receiving it and again today). Normally one would not need to use an aerator at this frequency but with the soil being so hard it seemed appropriate to do so this time around. The unit is very well made, nicely finished and easy to put together. This is my second tow-behind aerator. My first one pales in comparison to this John Deere unit. The metal for the JD is much thicker. The unit raises and lowers very easy, even when loaded with lots of weight, and pulls very easy. It does not bump around like my last unit and is hardly noticeable when towing in aerator mode or just towing to and from storage. Things to note: the large air filled tires, two extra gussets to help keep the axle rigid, easy lift for raising and lowering and heavy duty metal construction. Yes, it does cost more but it's worth every penny of the addition cost.

          Solid hunk of metal
          This is a very handy unit to have around if you have a large yard that is prone to compaction. A sand-silt-clay soil is best...want to avoid soils with rocks or pebbles as they either bend/break the aerators or plug the ends. Also, a yard where you can keep going forward is best. If you have to cross a driveway a lot, you have to get off, raise the unit, cross, drop the unit, repeat...bit of a pain. I lined the tray with vapour barrier, put a board across the centre...got two pieces of bent rebar for handles. Filled weight tray with concrete, and inserted two handles. Now I have two weights (~60-70lbs each). Could probably get away with less weight on thick organic soils. It makes a world of difference aerating once a year in early spring. Once aerated, then fertilize and reseed. Can even topcoat with some more soil if your keen. Took one star off only because one cannot change height on the fly...

            Missing most parts
            I ordered this and had plans set to aerate my large lawn this past weekend. Sadly I opened the box to assemble things, but it came with no manual, no hardware, and no wheels. That's some great quality control guys! Now I get to pack this heavy thing back up and return it, plus pay for another one in the meantime to get it shipped out... what a complete joke.

                It is built well. I used bags of sand for weight and it worked great! It’s best to have 2 people to assemble it….but I’m a woman…64…..and managed to get it together alone, but it would’ve been easier with another set of hands.

                This thing did a great job on my 3/4 acre back yard. No more waiting on unreliable landscape types to get back to me and no more shoddy jobs hitting the dry/dead spots or running over my sprinklers. I will also make some sweet coin off the neighbors renting this from me for 1/2 what they pay the landscapers!
