  Drum aerator-spike vs Core Aerator plug

I have 2-3 acres of lawn (one year old). It is getting compacted and I was given advice to aerate every fall. I need to buy a 60" to 72" aerator. Northern tool has a 50"plug for $125, 60"plug for $199, or 60" drum with spikes, (fill with water) for $350. Any advice? The drum aerators look like they will last longer. Not sure of the bearings on those plug/tine aerators. I could also pull this in my pasture, but unsure how effective any of the three would be with only 2.5"-3" depth. Suggestions?

  Drum aerator-spike vs Core Aerator plug

Ducati, I called Tarheel, and they are out of these, and have switched suppliers. The aerators featured on your link looked great and had nice prices. Where can I find this supplier for Tarheel? They looked like they had good greasable bearings, etc. I am sure there must be good quality 3pt hitch mounted aerators 60" to 72" for $700 to $900 somewhere. Any other suggestions? I have to aerate 4-5 acres, and a 48" aerator will take a while.

  Drum aerator-spike vs Core Aerator plug

Thanks for the info. One advantage of the core aerator-drum style, is that I could weld a hitch to this, and pull it behind my 1951 willys jeep. The tractor is very handy, but sometimes the smooth ride of the jeep is more fun when you have lots to do.
