I purchased this to try and resolve my dust bowl lawn. It was easy to put together and I pulled it behind by lawn tractor with it empty. It can be filled with water to increase its weight, but I tried it empty. I made several passes on the lawn and then put seed down and then made another pass. Well my lawn has never looked so good. In the past, rains would wash the seed away and it never filled in. This time the holes made by the very well made steele tines and the weight of the drum, allowed the grass seed to enter the soil and not get washed away.
It’s very well made and did an outstanding job and that was with it empty, so with a load of water the tines would go even deeper and allow the seed to get an even better start. It was well worth the money and if you have shed to store it you can’t go wrong.

This thing really works great. I am on 1 1/2 acres and it makes aeration of the yard easy. Only one thing. Make sure you put down some plywood when crossing crosswalks for when it is full of water it will chip it up pretty good. Thats how good it is.
