 Rich C Dec 23, 2008
By Rich C
I had mixed feelings about this item, Read some reviews and watched a video, I decided to purchase this Mow-Aerator because my property is slopy and the drive tire would slip/slide somtimes, After installing this product i was able to cut the grass with ease and no more sliding down the hills, I had tryed tire chains but they didnt work nearly as well as this Mow-Aerator worked, Also i did notice a differnce in my lawn after using the product, My lawn looked healthier, Works good with semi soft soil,Not good for hard packed soil or rocky soil as the spikes bend, The product isnt a real heavy duty and over time the spikes will bend from use, Overall the product is ok, I would say for limited use the product would do fine, I purchased another set of wheels and tires and mounted the Mow-Aerator to them, When my lawn is damp i will switch to the Mow-Aerators, then when the grass is dry i can usally get the job done with the std tires and wheels.

 Not bad for traction, very little aeration benefit Jun 19, 2010
By Jeff
If you have wet slippery slopes, these provide adequate cleat traction. However, I have not been able to obtain any aeration benefit. The depth is too shallow, and the spikes appear to only scratch the surface. Also, because of deck interference, I can only use the spikes on one wheel. Finally, the nylon-lock nuts back off the bolts during usage and vibration. Once this happens, the spikes bend off the wheel and small hardware pieces become lost in the lawn.

 Fits only one wheel Jul 15, 2009
By Tommy D. Thompson
This item will only fit in the left wheel of a Craftsman 1000 riding mower. The deck is too close to the tire on the right side for the spikes. Mow-Aerator MA2008 Riding Lawn Mower Aerator Tire Spikes - 2 Pack SetCould not find, on the web site, which mowers this product works with.

Not quite what I expected Aug 16, 2011
By franklyme
"'putertater"
The product arrived on time and in good condition although a locknut was floating around the shipping container. Installation was not exactly as easy as the "1-2-3" pictured on the box nor as simple as directions indicated. However, I guess the tire size didn't consider the wide "turfsaver" type of tires I have on my Murray. After a lot of struggling and a bit of "discouraging words", deflating the tires quite a bit, and a purchase of longer threadsock (and nuts)for starters (and replacing the 4" bolts with 6" bolts) I managed to get the two attached to my 10X20 wheels. There is a good 4-6" wider gap where ends meet that makes for a little bounce when that section rotates to the lawn. I also expected the spikes to be conical instead of flat metal but they do make holes in the dirt which is far better for moisture and nutrient penetration than nothing. How well they will hold up only time will tell. However, an added bonus is the spikes give better traction on the steeply sloping lawn I'm cursed with.
Not sure I would recommend these without a lot of cautionary comments but I do believe thy will suit my needs for areation and traction on the sloping lawn.

Too Much Work Aug 08, 2011
By rickg321
I bought the tire aerators for my Kubota tractor. I had to get the extenders. Even though the aerator attachments were supposed to open up wide enough, they barely fit my tires. Even though I measured the clearance between the tire and the fender, I found the spikes did not fit tight, so the spikes would rub the fender if not absolutely and tighly pushed on. It takes 45 minutes+ to install the aerators and 15 minutes to remove. The spikes make "slits" in the grass and does not aerate well regardless how much I drive on the grass. My simple pull behind aerator using blocks does a better job and quicker. The tire spikes were not a good investment for me.
