Yeh, the 600 and 800 are around $2700 - $3000. The 850, if I remember correctly, was around $4300.

When the ground gets real hard, mine actually will bounce. The tines go in as far as the ground will let them and if it's not deep enough, it will actually pick the whole unit up. It's not pretty but it's at least tough enough to take it.
Have you ever used the Classen split drive? I'm lookin for a new aerater myself, and I've seen the plugr but never used one. I have used a Classen and it has been good to me. However the plugr looks easy to operate. I have heard from people that these machines are garbage and they break apart
