Had a request for pics of my aerator from this thread

http://www.nettractortalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3533#post3533

It's a Lesco aerator, if I remember correctly 48", it is 3 point or tow behind.

I have it on the Hinomoto with the towbar removed, thus using as 3 point.

It is not pto driven, rather, set it on the ground and its ready to go.

In the following pics, I've got a couple bundles of shingles on the weight tray (bundle shingles=75 lbs), but it will hold more weight.

if not using 3 point, but using tow behind hitch, leverage bar for raising and lowering wheels.
the bar takes all the work out of raising/lowering, especially if you have several 100 pounds weight on the weight tray!
1 bar, use it on both sides for wheels

If using 3 point, just grab the 'T' lever/handle and pull out and move wheels up or down.

Well Shimp,

that's a first for me. Never seen anything like your aeroator before. I'd have to agree with the decal where it states 'commercial'!
