We received our aerator yesterday. When reading other reviews before buying we noticed some complaints about assembly difficulties and so we were a little nervous about the assembly process. For assembly we simply unpacked the unit and carefully laid the pieces out for assembly. The instructions were written for two different size aerators, which was a little confusing. We had to call support for clarification of what might have been missing parts. The support team was prompt, courteous and very helpful in identifying the fact that our aerator did not include the piece in question because the smaller 40" size, this confusion could have been simply avoided by having the instructions ONLY for this unit instead of multiple units. This aerator can be assembled with everyday hand tools, but we used an electric driver where possible to speed up the assembly. Instead of using concrete blocks for weight, we used a Sterlite plastic tote filled with water, it was easy to adjust the weight and fit the tray perfectly (we have no extra storage space for random concrete blocks). Make sure when attaching the plug cutting tines to their assembly that you make note of where the welds on the tube fall. Place the tines on the non welded side for a more flush fit (this will make more sense when you look at your tine assembly when you get yours home). Make sure to follow the instructions and go at a slow walking pace to give the aerator time to do it's job. Any faster and you might damage your new tool. We just used 2nd gear and slow engine speed and made many overlapping passes to aerate our lawn.
1) Great quality heavy duty steel construction, made in America.
2) Fairly easy to assemble.
3) Solid good size tray for loading weight to adjust pressure/depth of aeration (instructions suggest concrete blocks or sand bags but we used plastic tote filled with water).
4) Well designed hitch for attaching to garden tractor/riding lawnmower and includes the hitch pin with cotter pin.
5) Solid tough wheels for moving aerator when not aerating soil (like moving over driveway)
6) Tows well behind the mower, and follows well.
7) Works equally well forward and reverse (we have a few difficult corners on our property and simply backed into/out of the tough spots)
8) Included hardware seems high quality. Nylon locking nuts, heavy oversized nuts and bolts for wheels.
9) All pieces were in the box.

Works as advertised - very good!
I had a different experience than some people. I was almost afraid to open the spike package because I thought they would be super sharp but mine were not (see picture). I didn't wear gloves and didn't get cut. The instructions were good. I laid out the bolts & nuts and matched them to the instruction page that showed them to scale. I didn't open the bag that was in with the spikes. They are a little different and you won't need them until you get ready to attach the spikes. I made a couple of little mistakes but when I went back to the instructions I could see that it was my mistake. If you follow the instructions very closely you won't have any problem. I actually enjoyed putting it together. It did a good job on my lawn.
