Do not buy!!!
This is a piece of junk, do not buy. I spent 1 hour putting it together and it bent within 15 minutes of use. I returned it right after purchase.

Didn’t even last one day before it disintegrated. Bushings nylon ceased causing the bar that holds the spines to cut the end off by the housing. Not worth the money.

Attention to detail
I purchased the AS2-40BH1-G, great product but the issue I have is that the bolts that were included for the the wheels did not match the diameter on the wheels causing an awkward unstable towing experience. Solution provide a sleeve to fill the gap in between the bolt and hub, or provide a larger diameter bolt for a smoother operational yard tool. I would recommend with a stipulation.

Not bad for the price
Nice little aerator for the money. Easy to assemble. My only complaint is how easy the blocks fall out of it. You have to go pretty slow if you don’t have a super smooth lawn. I wish they had designed it with something that held them in there. I did come up with a little fix that keeps them from sliding off the ends but they still bounce out.

The spikes and frame are good quality but the supplied hardware snapped easily when tightening and tore up my flat head when putting together. I threw the hardware out and used M8 bolts instead. Having the hex bults made assembly much easier. There is room for 2 cinder blocks to add weight but we found we needed to use 3 so I would suggest filling 2 cinder blocks with cement to add more weight.

SA – Will, thank you for your comment; we appreciate your feedback. We are sorry that our hardware did not live up to your expectations. I would be happy to pass along your suggestion of using hex bolts. Moderate soil moisture is important for proper tine penetration. Extremely dry conditions will not permit tine penetration and may damage the tines. Extremely wet conditions will cause full penetration of tines (up to tine bearings). I have attached a link to our video that may help you in the future. If you have questions, please reach out to customer service at 877.728.8224 or customerservice@brinly.com.

Great price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in the spring of 2022 it did its job only downside I purchased the one without the side wheels which help move around when not in use.

Worthy of my neighbors,
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had mine for around 6 months. I used it and 3 of my neighbors asked me if they could use. Of course I said yes and they liked it a lot. One of them went and bought the same item! I guess my other neighbors were happy that I had one so they could use it again.

Solid Addition to Any Large Lawnowner’s Tractor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to attach to my lawn tractor—no issues towing it through my 1 acre yard. Pleased with its performance in helping to ‘open up’ my lawn both in the spring and fall months.
