this looks ideal but im told cant get it in uk by the stockists :(
Is it not worth just getting Glendale or another of the big outfits to do it?
Approx 8000 sq metres of lawn
Not sure what a big outfit would cost but client would rather we did in house to reduce costs long term and ensure reliable results -- previous lawn care companies did a bad job and new ones have quoted through the roof
Have you looked on pitchcare .co.uk?
May be some pointers on there
Pitch care not coming up with the goods
I have found a tow petrol scarifier
http://www.schsupplies.co.uk/product/powered-scarifying-rake/rotary...
which look like it would do a better job than the cheaper non powered items
this hollow tine aerator is the best i can find -- but one really wonders if it will do the job http://www.schsupplies.co.uk/product/1219mm-48-grass-care-system/48...
weighing the tines down and using traction to power seems a bit scetchy ? But i guess if you use them in a few directions its gotta at least do a reasonable job
Bump ;
can anyone advise whether a simple towed and weighed hollow tine aerator such as below is a usable / worthwhile product -- cost effectively obviously compared to the far more expensive options

I will put my 'South Lincs Grass Care' hat on to answer this - there are other contractors out there with kit that MIGHT be suitable and do a better job than those flimsy looking towed attachments.
As well as various other equipment, we run a 4 ft wide Amazone flail scarifier with collector with our compact tractor as well as having a 4ft wide Sisis 'deep slitter' which will leave approx 4" 'slots' cut into the turf.
As always depends on access/site layout and the clients expectations.
