Just exactly what I need and the last tool that I don't have for creating time efficient work. I pulled the trigger and made a purchase and after a couple of days I didn't receive a confirmation email or anything, I called Mike to confirm my order and since I live in a city in the Bay Area that he shared was one of his favorite cities we spoke for a good 30 minutes about yard stuff and positive delivery update. What a pleasant guy and thanks Yardbrah for reviewing and sharing. Yeah, I love that song too, have it on my playlist🤣🤙

[@JonathanNance-ou9fn]

Thanks @YardBrah for posting the follow-up video and I am still happy with mine after over a year of owning it. I bought a double rotor model awhile back and it is very convenient. It took about 3 weeks to receive. I am in Dallas, TX with clay and compacted soil, and it is still very effective. It is not quite as effective as a gas powered areator with the clay, but it still works great and gets the job done. It works best when you roll it with just the right moisture in the soil, not too wet and not too dry. It pulls 1-3 inch cores and is a quick process for smaller yards. $350 is steep for the cost of the parts, but time is money, and this thing definitely saves time for smaller yards.

[@YardBrah]

Yes for sure!! The double one looks like it’s more of a workout 😂😂😂😂🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥👊🏾

[@YardBrah]

Aye nice!! What did you use for handle and tines?!? 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾

[@awdx4g63]

@@YardBrah I did make it sound easy but there are some hard work behind. Tines - uses Electrical Conduit. $4 for a long tube. Handle / bar / 90 degree- PVC pipe 1 in, few bucks here. I later upgraded wheel bearing with literally a Car wheel bearing to fit onto PVC pipe to let rotor to spin super freely. This part took me a couple weeks to wait on ebay $5 if someone willing to dump. I probably could look for it in my friend shop's trash bin. I spent lots of work cutting electric conduit and drill holes on rotors to make tines to fit. Some do get bent up after hitting rocks. So I did make it sound too cheap but yes $350 probably worth the effort. Definitely use electric conduit to replace tines!!
