The key to making a good purchase is matching a product to your circumstances and this product performed exactly as I had hoped. Other pluggers I researched may make nicer, more uniform plugs but I was concerned about how well they would last on the 3 acre lot in the country with lots of trees. Of the 48" models I read about this one had the heaviest shipping weight so I assumed it would be constructed of the heaviest material. It is well built. Assembly was uncomplicated. I used it on the entire 3 acres 1 day after a rainy spell lasting 2 days. I used 4 bags of sand for weight rather than cinder blocks and it worked flawlessly.

This aerator works as expected and us a very reasonable value. I use this on 2 acre lawn and with proper weight did adequate job of plugging. Suggest using water container for ballast instead of construction blocks as easier to handle. Assembly is not really difficult but a bit time consuming, just be sure to line up axle correctly to avoid rework during assembly. Although not quite as heavy duty as what you would rent from implement dealer, approx 2 uses will pay for itself.

Although assembly was cumbersome, it was not that difficult. My yard is a little over 2 acres. In the first use, the middle brace broke in half and the wheels are not nearly as sturdy as they need to be if you have any amount of weight placed on the plugger.
All in all, I was not pleased with the performance or durability of this product.

Same thing happened to me with this product. L shaped center support broke - which caused the axle to bend, which caused the wheel bolts to bend. Further on taking it apart to repair noticed many of the parts were either an inconsistent size or not an appropriate size (from an engineering point of view). This was on the third use - had probably done no more than 10 acres total.
