the spiker type DOES compact the soil. where does the soil go except for being compacted around the spike holes??. with the plugger, the soil is removed at each hole, so there is no compaction!..Here's a Leinbach design from several years ago..........
I use it on my 3 acre place for over seeding/aeration. Some critics prefer the plugger type aerator saying that the spiker type compacts the soil. I like this one since it has little maintenance.
It weighs 285 lbs empty and 670 lbs when filled with water.
Cheers,
