  • It does the job
Style: Coring Aerator
I have used this aerator for two seasons already. It does the job. Good construction, easy to use, soft handles. Of course, this takes more time than a machine, but it works perfectly fine for a smaller lawn (and it is less costly as well). I would recommend it.

  • Easy to use
Style: Coring Aerator
This is super easy for me to use. I’m a petite middle-aged woman, under a hundred pounds, and my body weight is enough to get this into the dirt. Wet dirt is easier. Although having only 2 tines (or whatever they’re called) makes this take forever, I think that having any more tines would make it exponentially harder for small folks to use. ... show more

  • Still best results compared to most other step types.
Style: Coring Aerator
Bought one a few years ago at a Lowe's or Osh that I thought was the Hound Dog branded "Turf Hound" but it looked almost identical to the "Yard Butler" instead, so I don't know if the companies are related or maybe I just had a brain fart and filed the memory incorrectly. It worked well enough that I wore that down to nubs (see photo comparing the old one to new) thanks to hard clay soil that had to be pretty moist to penetrate making the tips rust, chip,or bend into the tube, and then having to file or grind the ends back to a functional point. When this seasons plugs were all coming out stumpy, I figured I could use a replacement and wondered if there might be a tool that didn't clog as much as that had. I think that in certain clays, it's inevitable, though you can minimize it by working it only after it's been watered and oiling the tines before and after using the tool. I have tried ones with more tines, and they are much harder to push into the ground since I am only 5'2 and 130lbs, so the two tines works better for me. I also find the height of the handle appropriate on this one, and the T design is comfortable because I can switch feet easily, without knocking a knee into the sides of the handle. I'm not sure how this compares with using the Hound Dog model, except that the center handle might help with pivoting the thing from side to side more easily when necessary, or perhaps the stepping space might be easier to access on the Dog version because it's more open. But then again, I also find it helpful that the shape above the step on the Butler helps ensure I don't just step THROUGH it and miss planting it down firmly. I did try the red one with thicker tines and the step "lifting bar" (see pics for side by sides) in hopes that it would be less clog prone, but found that the shape made it noteably more difficult to push into the ground than the slightly thinner and longer tines of the Butler. It may be because they are thicker, even though they are tapered, or maybe because they are cut square instead of at an angle like the Butler, which slid much more deeply and smoothly into the ground. Though the other one DID seem to be less likely to pack up with soil IN the tines, it also was much more problematic in dirt clogging AROUND the them instead (see pics). Go figure... The step bar on the red one didn't really add anything useful to the process for me, as it wasn't really helpful to try and use my foot to pick up the tool. It actually seemed a bit more in the way when switching feet, which I did much more frequently than trying to lift it with the foot. Some may prefer the thicker grips on the red one, but my hands are pretty large and I had no issues with the thinner ones. The one clear advantage of the red one is really probably the color itself, as I did have trouble locating the green Yard Butler on the lawn if I stepped away from it. The red is totally obvious to spot immediately. Lastly, I also preferred the resulting plug length of the Butler. The thickness of the other was beaten by the depth of extracted material with Yard Butler. (Last picture shows all 3 YB cores on the left vs 3 shorter of the other tool on the right). Definitely get an extra inch or more with the YB tool. YB beats the spike sort and more complicated coring setups on manual tools. There might be some real advantage to a rolling disc type on ebay, but it costs much more. If you have a large enough yard, though, it might be worth the cost over renting something powered, especially if you don't have something that needs a riding mower in size. My mom's lawn is probably 2000 sq ft, and it can be a workout and a long day to step core the whole thing alone, but I do it a little at a time whenever I visit and it's fine because the tool is always available and quiet enough to use in the middle of the night so the summer heat isn't overwhelming. I dig it. And it really does improve the lawn significantly. If I see it's getting a bit tired looking, I know it's time to step some air into thr soil and it thickens up nicely. For the money, it's a win in my book. Id like to try the other design I saw on Amazon too, which ejects the cores on the SIDE of the tine instead of through the top, as that might be less likely to pack into a clog, but I would want to know it was really better before spending twice as much money on it. For now I am doing fine with this and maybe will try the other if it wears down so far in a few years as the last one did. .. ... show more

  • *thumbs up*
Style: Coring Aerator
I wasn't sure what to expect as I've never aerated the soil before.. but was pleased with how it turned out. I took the advice of others and waited to work after a storm passed to the ground was softer; though it took some time it was pretty easy.. the depth and diameter of the holes it created seemed pretty perfect and what would be needed for proper efficacy. *thumbs up* ... show more

  • First impressions
Style: Coring Aerator
This is my first review for this device and I will update it later on as I use it more. I just got this a few days ago and my first impression was that this thing is solidly built and a good looking tool. It's made of three pieces that are welded together with strong welds and good thick steel. It has a great paint job and a shiny coat on it as well. The handles are big and coated with a very dense foam and is comfortable to hold. I took this out to use it for the first time after a full day of rain two days ago, and the dirt plugs were not coming out of the tubes but rather getting stuck. Not sure if my soil was too wet or maybe it was my technique, but I'm going to let the soil dry out and keep trying every day to see if that makes a difference. I gave this thing 3 stars just for the build quality alone. If i can get it working consistently, then it will be a 5 star'er. UPDATE 4/6/21...I've attempted to use this a few times on a lawn that hasn't had rain in a while and the plug always get stuck in the tube. It's so frustrating as I wanted this to work so bad. I'll probably end up returning it and look for something else. I've read other people having luck with it, so not sure why mine get stuck in the tube. ... show more

  • Very well built; works well; easy to use
Style: Coring Aerator
This aerator is solid steel and very well built. I found it easy to use, and a great way to aerate small areas or spots that the tow-behind aerator can't get well like the edge of the driveway. In general, this did not clog. The only clogging I experienced was when aerating spots with pea gravel. The tubes appear to have a slight taper, but not nearly as much as the machines, so it's prone to clogging if something gets jammed. This isn't a problem for dirt or clay -- but it can be if there is much gravel. This is easily solved with an 8" piece of 7/8" dowel rod mounted on a piece of 2x4. If the aerator jams, you just put your foot on the 2x4 and push to tool down on the dowel rod and voila, the jam is cleared. You can move pretty quickly with this tool once you get in a rhythm. That being said, I wouldn't want to have to do my whole yard with it. But it's perfect for what I bought it for which is smaller areas. Overall, it's a very good product. ... show more
