[@KF-zp7oe]

I can’t believe that I’m the first comment after all these views. Glad to see that I’m not the only one that doesn’t get things first try, keep fooling around watch some videos and try again there is something satisfying about making something useful out of scrap, nice work

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Thanks KF, I'm still at it and love welding. I am a mechanical designer by trade so I see how things work and enjoy building.

[@alexmontero3642]

I think your mistake is not staggering the Spikes. Great job, I'm building this

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Thanks, I agree, it does work great.

[@flintstone86]

Thank you for the video I am currently building one of these myself and your video just made it a lot easier. Also great job, I hope mine comes out half as good as yours.

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Hey, thanks it works great and my lawn looks awesome!

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

[@G-GFactoryMade]

Im copying this!!!!!! Awesome work!!!!!!

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Thanks, it works great.

[@ddemier]

Awsome. Looks like it worked well

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Yes it works great. Just put the amount of water to get a good probe depth.

[@billthompson9595]

great video!

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Thanks!

[@mow4ulawnmowingservice497]

Good idea man

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Glad you think so! works great.

[@markchester7584]

Yep. The tines are too long, spaced much too far apart and they’d be far more efficient if they were pointed spikes.

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Thanks for the input. I did shorten them a bit, and it works quite well after a rain. I spaced them about the same as the average pull-behind aerator. Thanks for watching.

[@lgnigh]

Offset the tines then when you turn it won't tear up your yard

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Great Idea! Thanks, and thanks for watching.

[@rlhawkinsrlhawkins]

Hi there.. I have small lawns... Could you design something like that. To go on a self propel lawn mower..🤔🛠.. Or something that's 2' wide Pull behind a John Deere.?? . I'm not a welder nowhere near is nowhere near that skill.. How about using a Empty Propane tank.. And can you make me something..??. I'm not a Wilder..lol.😁

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

That would be great and i would love to help if we lived close by. The shiping cost may be a prohibitor. The only thing I purchased was the two pillow block bearings and the wheels. I found the rest at the junk yard. Yes you can make one with a propane tank or something 2' wide. The diameter of the tank would have be enough to allow for the weight requirements when filled with water or sand. Water is best because you can drain it to make it lighter for transport. Thanks for watching. I'll be posting my DIY lawn sprayer rig this week. So please subscribe so you can get notified when I post that. I also make and sell battery powered backpack sprayers.

[@ricardocenteno375]

Make hole melt some lead and fill it

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Man, that would be heavy, thanks.

[@jrtonka19]

Great video!!!whats the material size you using?and the welder ?

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Hi, I used 1.5"x1/8" tube and the tank is 10" dia x 24" long (may be a little longer) . My welder is a Forney 140 MP 120v welder (mig, tig, and stick - love it).

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

sorry for the late response.

[@jrtonka19]

@@ministermanoutdoors6179 great thank you

[@robueleubor]

I am making one I have 8” ID pipe. you using a air tank

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Hi, yes, it's an old air tank. Thanks for watching.

[@Ali1671]

Did you fill it with water?

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Yes, I fill it about 75% with water to get around a 2-2.5" hole.

[@scotts1111]

Heck yeah good job. It looks great!

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Thanks, works darn good too.

[@32098c209]

Can u make me one

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

Thats a thought, shipping may cause the purpose of diy to be voided. What part of the country you in?

[@Judge_Judy]

no ships were harmed with this unit

[@ministermanoutdoors6179]

LOL, yea it does look a little like a sea mine. Thanks for watching.
