Seeder / aerator questions
I started new thread so i dont hijack another thread. I have a hard compacted yard. On the top soil level its dirt/clay/ sand , next down is clay/ sand/ deeper ya go its more clay than anything. Water drainage and absorption are horrible more water goes to surface than anywhere else.
My main question is are the spike aerators effective? I want to add a broadcast spreader to an aerator. I want to throw down some seed, but Im sure I need to do some serious aerating - My ideas personality wants me to rig it all up together. Must be an idea worth trying - Brinly and others have aerator seeder combos but they are all spike aerators, which I have read are not that effective. Another downfall is that they are drop seeders, where most people prefer broadcasting. Its a tough land area and im renting it , but I hate the muddy yard. Ill spend some on it, but my moneys going in my equipment not the yard. any ideas or opinions would be appreciated

William, I'd get a plug aerator, and a broadcast spreader. They will do the job for you.

Like Allen said plug aerator then use a broadcast spreader. You've got loosen that soil up so the grass can grow. I wouldn't use both at once. Why take away from seat time?
 You can't use both at once because of the lack of over lap on the aerator.

deffinately core aeration. gotta pull the plugs to loosen it up. The reason they use drop spreaders on the aerator combos is because you would need one heck of an aerator to cover the spread of a broadcast spreader. Methos and the others are right. Plus two new toys are always better than one.

A core aerator did wonders when I lived in a well forested piece of land. The oaks would suck up all of the moisture, making the ground rock hard. You could see how much greener the grass was in my turn areas, where the aerator overlapped and missed spots. It is a very good tool.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
