Should I pull a Aeration device with my Zero Turn??

I just found a "Deal" on one of those pull behind Aeration trailers. Is it too hard on Residential Zero Turn mowers to pull something like that, and will it work well?

If it ain't broke.... OH, it is broke!

IMO, save your money. I have a 3-point hitch core aerator and aerated twice a year for about ten years. Even loaded with concrete blocks it wouldn't penetrate the recommended 3" unless the ground was very wet.

I never saw any improvement in the grass.

I have aerated most of my lawns in the past, but always with a Ryan Aerater machine. Never tried an attachment. Those machines (if you watered first) almost always pulled good plugs of the sod. I have heard you really have to load the weight so heavy, I think most of attachments can't take the weight. This brings me back to my original question, should I pull that with my Zero Turn?
