I'll stick in a positive. Nice job, I'd use that on my lawn.

Thank you. I was aware that driving over what I had spiked was
probably reducing the effectiveness, but the majority of the area
spiked was not driven over so on balance the lawns must be better
for it. Indeed they are far better off than they would have been
without the ride on mounting, as there is no way I would have
pushed that thing over all the lawns.
