I have a Plugr. I have had it for about two weeks. The reason I went with
this type is several.

1. easier to transport
2. less parts then the conventional one.
3. easier to manuver then conventional.
4. I went with the eight tine so only have eight tines instead of what the
conventional have.

To answer your question about tearing up the turf compared to the pull
behind. I cann't say as I have not used or seen the the pull behind used.
My customers are satisfied with the results.

anyone have any experience with this turf aerator www.plugr.com . I was
wondering if the tines tore the turf as it moved along like the plug
areators that are round and you pull behind riding mower? This one
doesn't look like it would tear up the ground as the tines appear to come
'pretty much' straight up and down. Also any other input on this machine
welcome.
thanks
