aerators

[tramahor]

ok guys I know this subject has come up alot on here, also I did a search with no luck in one place. I just got 10 aerating accts on some of my full service customers, my question is I am looking to buy a used aerator. Which one, claussen, bluebird, ryan or snapper? Each lawn is approx.3000ft2. I can buy a used one ( any of the four brands ) for about 450.00 from a local rental yard about 4 years old. Is this a fair price and which would you choose and why? Thanks in advance for all the good info.

why not rent one for a day? u can do that for around $60-70. secondly u did a search? i find that hard to believe, i just did a search for "aerator" below are links to a few of the results that discuss our thoughts on the various brands.

If you read my post correctly I said I couldnt find it in one place. There are a lot of posts on the subject but they all contadict each other. I was looking for one post with all the replys in one place on the subject.

RYAN has been a good one for us tough well built machines.
450 sounds like a good deal if it aint to beat up.
A new ryan drum type costs 1700-1800 new.

Sell em back to you for $1500 each

Any of the four brand why choose they all work...... right. Object put holes in the ground.
