Landpride 48" 3-point plug aerator

[tomd999]

Hiiya,

I'm currently looking at either a BX2370 or B2320HST w/54" mid-decks for my next mowing tractor. I want to get a plug aerator as my lawn is so compacted the rain runs off rather than soaking in.

Questions for the orange experts here:
1) Are both of these models correctly sized for a 48" aerator?
2) Are both of these models up to pulling the aerator while mowing or would I need to do each task separately?
3) Would I need to use front suitcase weights to ballast the aerator?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

I haven't owned either of those but I did have a bx2230 w/54" deck. It would mow and pull 2 42" decks behind it while moweing allmost 10 feet at a time.
