Agri-Fab 45-0458 SmartLink Turf Shark Aerator Review

Hi This review is for the Smart link Masterplatform AND its attachments. (Agri-Fab 45-0473 SmartLink Master Platform) Sorry I couldnt link it, no idea why.

Ok, so I got this inhuman heavy box today. The box was damaged, and a lot of single parts in the box were just thrown in there.
Not wrapped or packed in any way. What a fantastic start, of course because the sub standard packaging, a lot of the parts were scratched and the paint already on the way to hell.....hmpf....I really don't like that. A quick scan of the box proofed, I was missing 2 nuts (ok bad joke, I know) but there were two nylon locks missing, really, I mean it. I usually am not as difficult about missing screws or nuts, but this was not a cheap tool. So i went and bought 2 nuts. 30 minutes and and 2$ later I was complete and ready to assemble. The drawings were ok, the description acceptable, but there was one thing I really liked. They have a page on Youtube with a videos on how to. Not that I really needed it, but it was handy at one point when the drawing was unclear. Installation went pretty well,and I was done in an hour (I am slow).

The whole things seems incredible sturdy, the lift handle that doubles as a back stand is a fantastic idea. I really liked that.The papers state that you can load 140 lbs of added weight on top! That can be very handy dethatching or areating.
(I found it handy with areating (added 80lbs), dethatching with high weights can damage your grass.

SO, this was the part for the Master platform. I hope it helped you somewhat in your decision to buy or not to buy. If you need more info or have questions, please ask, if I can I will answer.

Please look out for the attachment reviews. i will get the parts over the next weeks and will update my reviews.

So here my reviews for the Dethatcher and the Turf Shark attachments

First of all adding the attachments is really easy and quickly done. Be aware that the unit itself is pretty heavy, so it was easy for me, it may mean you need a second person, tough I doubt it.

++++++++++ Agri-Fab 45-0457 SmartLink Dethatcher
The Dethatcher.....well I have a simpler dethatcher from Agri FAB and it does its job, but there is NO compare to this tool.
It ripped out so much stuff and cleaned out my grass fantastic. I have to admit I bought the dethatcher from another supplier.I used it only once yet, but I do admit, I am impressed. It does a very good job. I also used it to "cover" new grass seed. So I seeded and used the dethatcher to "work" the seed in. Worked great!
As with the other attachments a criss cross pattern does help.

Be aware that "ripping"out the old stuff alone does not help. You also have to remove what you ripped out. Either with a rake, or with one of the Garden Sweepers (great tool)Agri-Fab 45-0456 44-Inch Smart Sweep Tow Lawn Sweeper I dont have this one. This is just a sample how they look

+++++
The Turf SharkAgri-Fab 45-0458 SmartLink Turf Shark Aerator

Man that thing shredded my lawn...in a good way. I used it in a cross and square pattern with added weight of 80 pounds on top and I must say it did a fantastic job of "shredding" holes into my whole lawn, so that rain and "food" can reach the root system easier. I was able to aerate my whole 2 acres in about 3 hrs. Which i consider really quick.
Assembly takes about2 minutes, but as with the other attachments you may need a second person.
What I did realize, now I have one base unit and 2 sets of attachments. The dethatcher is reasonable easy to handle when its not attached to the platform but the Turfshark is a bit of a different animal. I am not sureyet how and where I will store that thing with its bunch of knifes. Its not heavy, but if that thing topples on you..you on it....gore fest!
So handle with care!!

So far I only have the two attachments, but if I buy more, or if i have trouble with anything, I will update!
