Landzie 24-Inch Compost & Peat Moss Roller Spreader (Steel Diamond Mesh Topdressing Drum)

Top pick in group#3

Sun JoePre-Aeration PrepBest for: Removing Thick Surface Thatch Before Core Aeration

Sun Joe AJ801E 13-Inch 12-Amp Electric Dethatcher & Lawn Scarifier w/ Collection Bag

While marketed with an 'aerator/scarifier' cylinder, this 12-amp corded machine is a surface dethatcher and vertical slicer—use it to strip dead thatch before pulling deep plugs with a hollow-tine core aerator.

Tine Type & CountInterchangeable spring-steel dethatcher rake + slicing scarifier cylinder

Working Width / Height13-inch working width · 5-position depth dial (-0.4" to +0.4")

Ballast Capacity / Ejection12-Amp 120V electric motor · 8-gallon rear thatch bag

Hitch / Build MaterialWalk-behind corded frame (requires 12-gauge extension cord)

Watch out for: Not a hollow-tine core aerator (slices only 0.4" deep)—and the small 8-gallon bag fills fast, so most users run it without the bag and rake up afterward.

Watch out for: Spreading foot force across 4 tines means you must aerate when soil is moist; too hard to push into bone-dry clay.

What to Check Before Ordering Replacement Aerator Tines

Aerator tines are not universal across brands.

01
Check Mounting Style: Threaded Collar vs. Bolt-On Spoon
Manual fork aerators (like Landzie) use screw-in tubular tines; tow-behind drums use curved spoons bolted with 5/16" carriage bolts.
02
Measure Bolt Hole Spacing on Tow-Behind Spoons
Agri-Fab (#48155) and Brinly spoons have brand-specific bolt patterns and curvature radii.
03
Inspect Tine Bevel Edges Every Spring
File down rock burrs or replace tines once the leading bevel wears back by more than 1/4 inch.
04
Coat Tines with Fluid Film or Silicone Spray Before Winter
Prevents rust buildup inside hollow tubes that causes spring soil clogging.

Questions

Why do hollow tines start clogging more as they get older?

Internal rust pitting and a rolled-over bottom cutting lip increase friction inside the tube. Cleaning the bore with a wire brush and spraying dry silicone or vegetable oil inside the tines restores smooth plug ejection.

What material works best in the Landzie 24-inch roller spreader after aerating?

Dry screened compost, peat moss, or a 50/50 topsoil-compost mix. Avoid unscreened wet clumpy mud, which won't sift through the diamond mesh.
