I had purchased the 6ft Spiked Drum Aerator. The packaging was in good condition with a steel angle iron frame around the unit in a box. Nothing was damaged. I did choose to pick it up at the LTL dock because I was not going to be home. No issue there since I am only 15 minutes away. Minimal assembly that was pretty easy. I wish all the bolts were Grade 8 bolts, so I will probably replace them but the bolts that came with it will work for now. I will be using this unit for personal and business use. As far as the product itself goes, I’m hoping the steel tube wall thickness holds up and doesn’t bend over time. The wall thickness measured .15, I would’ve at minimum designed it to be 3/16” or even 1/4”. I’d rather have a heavier frame for extra weight anyways. I also wish the shaft was maybe 1-7/16” versus 1-1/8” then have bearings sized for the bigger shaft. When I buy equipment, I want it to last my lifetime. So the frame and drum itself is supposed to weigh 208 lbs empty. I contacted Titan to verify with me the structural integrity of the design by giving me the Safety Factor for failure. They could not go it to me. They said the design accommodates 291 lbs of water only. So the total weight is 499 lbs. a safer factor of 3 would be 1500 lbs on the unit before it starts to deform or fail. As an American machine designer, we design everything at a minimum of safety factor 3 but usually 4-5 or more. Bigger the better. Oversized everything. I purchased 300 lbs of sand so I don’t have to ever drain. I planned to fill it with sand completely but Titan would not validate the design capability. I also had to modify the hitch bar because it comes with 2 holes (cat 1 and 2). I have a Landpride QH16 hitch and hitch bar interferes with the QH frame. I have a Cat 1 tractor and QH, do I had to mount to the bottom hole. I cut the top hole off nicely so it looks good. I had to do this first thing before I could even mount it. After getting it assembled, filled, and finally mounted, I was able to test it out a little since part of the yard is still to wet. It appears to work well. I definitely recommend lifting it up off the ground prior to turning sharp. Slight turns will be alright. I need to put some hrs on this to see how it’s going to hold up for the long term. I have a 6 acre yard but do property maintenance for larger yards. I hope it’s value in price doesn’t reflect the longevity of the product use. Time will tell. Long review but I wanted it to be thorough and honest from my opinion. I love the look and compact style.
