I purchased a Ryan Lawnaire V this spring and am very satisfied with it. I have never run the Bluebird aerator, but am fond of their products. The Ryan does a great job, but with the drum full of water and the weights in it can wear you out quick if your not in decent shape. So my opinion; your not going to go wrong with either company. Good luck

 

I would say ryan because I like having the drum in the front as opposed the wheel. It makes turning the unit on soft ground much easier. I had an old ryan a few years back and it worked great. I have rented bluebirds and been less than impressed. That being said I think my next model will be one with a split drive system.

 

I have a 27" bluebird. It is works pretty good but it is tough on the operator.

 

Don't get a turfo unless it's one of those new steerable ones with reverse. The one I have is a back breaker.

 

I've used both, Ryan is the best. I like where the self-propel control (on top) vs. BlueBird (bottom). It makes it easier to go slower in tight places


but... when it comes to dethatchers, bluebird wins

 

Ryan is good,never used bluebird for aerators.

 

thanks alot for al of your input

 

I have Ryan Plugger had it since early 90s with 1 problem Gas line but that due to from cheap gas we have these days
Besides that not one problem If I was going buy another one it be a Ryan

I have used both and personally I prefer the bluebird, I actually like the bottom handle it allows you to feather the speed like a variable speed push mower.

in the end I actually settled on a Husqavarna because my dealer had a good price on them. They are basically the same as bluebird. And yes get the split drive in either choice, much easier to maneuver.

 

Both work great.

 

we have a Classon split drive.....very impressed with the machine......pulls great cores

 

ryan plugger. bluebird power rakes. Ryan sod cutter

 

Lawnaire 28.

 

Lawnaire 28.

Great point the ultimate Ryan aerator. Pulls the most plugs per square foot of any WB unit. Mathematically 0.5 more plugs than even the plugr 800, 850 or 855.

The manufacturers plug claims are inaccurate and fudged just like horse power ratings.

Then again these units Ryan 28 are spendy new and often neglected used.

Running that unit will set apart from your competition. Unless you want to covertly deliver more plugs and NOT get any extra $ for it.
