11-AgriFab 48in Pull Behind Plug Aerator unboxed 

Thanks for the tips Kenneth. And thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and the position feedback. Remember gloves when handling the tines. :)

I ended up getting a Yardworks from Menards. Set up was easy, a few hours and no cuts, but the aerator is solid and well built. You should check it out.

Thanks for your comments and letting viewers know of a good alternative. And thanks for watching.

Wow. Sounds like I'm not the only one. Your the second person today to tell me this. It's concerning that this definitely isn't an isolated incident. Thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely mention this in my next update. Thanks for your comments and for watching. Much appreciated.

I had the bolts and nuts leftover... thanks for this, I was wondering where they went. I saw them on the instructions' illustration, but didn't know what they were for!

Thanks! And thanks for watching.

Yeah. As you saw, I had a couple bolts left over for which there are no holes. Hope this video helped. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the tip Thomas. Sounds like a good idea. You know I love Harbor Freight. :) And thanks for watching..

Wow! That's crazy. Hopefully they sent you new ones under warranty.

Thanks! And thanks for watching.

Thanks for your comment and for reminding me to reach out to manufacturer about replacement part. Overall this seems like a nice rig, and I'm hoping this was a fluke. I felt I owed it to folks to be honest in the video about what happened, as I make these to help people; i don't make a dime from anyone for these videos. I'm just glad AgriFab is a reputable company and have a 3yr warranty on this unit. I'll post here again once I get this resolved. Thanks for watching.

@@twc-projects I appreciate it, and I look forward to what happens. I got the green light from my spousal unit to purchase one so I might just take the chance.

Sounds good. I've heard from a landscaper that he loves his; and he uses this thing a lot more than I ever will. So hopefully you won't have any problems. Good luck and check back in at some point to let me know how it works out. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Great video. Looking to purchase this soon. Certainly concerning about the bad welding. How difficult/time consuming is it to remove and dismantle the axle to put the new part on?

I don't think it will be too bad. Looks like a couple bolts that connect end support, a bolt on the shaft, and then slide off section that has broken weld. I still haven't done it yet, but expect the manufacturer will replace the specific part that is broken, so will need to also remove the tines connected--4 more bolts. I expect it'll take about 30 mins in all to replace broken part with new. I'll let you know for sure when I get around to this before I need it again in a few months. Thanks for watching and for your comments.

Thanks. The bungies are 18" I believe, and the blocks are just the standard large, hollow foundation blocks. I haven't gotten a chance to actually measure them yet, but I'll try to remember to grap a tape and do that the next time I'm headed out to barn. Thanks again for your comments and for watching.

I can't say with total certainty that aerating makes the lawn better, as grass tents to get thicker and thicker whether you aerate or not. But, supposedly it's good and helps for a lot of reasons. So I keep doing it.. If that's what you meant by your question. Thanks for your comments and for watching.

I haven't contacted them yet, but two other folks just told me they had the exact same issue and Agri Fab did send them replacements right away. I plan to get this done this week and will post an update accordingly. Thanks for your comments.

I was thinking the same thing. He was flying! Lol

I can't remember exactly how fast I was going, as this was years ago, but I speed up the frame rate of most of these videos so it looks a lot faster than it was. I'm pretty sure I was between 5-8mph, which is the max speed of my zero turn mower. I've put out more videos on this since then, if you want to see more and see what others have said. Thanks for your comments and for watching.

Absolutely! :) Won't be long before I'll be doing it all again too. Thanks for watching and your comment.
