Agri-Fab24924 Plug Aerator Knife, Silver

Fit nicely on the aerator. Performed well.

This was to replace one of the lost AGRI aerator knives. Came quickly easy to replace.

I used the Agri-Fab Aerator Knife to build one-tine manual aerator for our small area of grass. Works great, never clogs.

perfect fit

Headline says it all no? I love my Agri-Fab 48" plug aerator; but I hate the spoons. Here's the deal. There are three grades of aerators: lowest-Spike mid-open/half spoon top-closed spoon. (I won't get into the commercial line of $2500 aerators....but, they DO use a closed spoon). Where am I going with this rant? To say, I bought the Agri-Fab 48" aerator knowing I would at some point modify the thing to adapt 7-1/2" closed spoons simply because the hitch/deck/frame were much sturdier than any competitor (and adapting the heavier spoons was feasible with some welding and drilling). These open spoons are soft metal, and dent easily. They don't hold a point past 2 aerations (I have 9 acres with horses so I have to aerate 6 times a year due to compaction etc). Remember, once you sharpen them 2 times, you've nipped off about 1/4" of material, so your plugs are shallower and less "plug" than they are just kind of a blob of dirt. A small blob at that. So, is paying $10 for this spoon worth it? nope. I wouldn't even pay the $3.00 per spoon direct from Agri-Fab. I wore mine out in about 2 years and then modified the unit to the closed spoons (cheaper price, WAY better performance). "Proven Part Aerator Core 1/2" closed spoon".
