I rented from Home depot on Friday for $75. Only took about 1.5 hours, and that was going over it several times on a lot of lawn. It is a major PITA though, so if someone offers to do it for a similar price....Let them suffer. The thing is a beast, felt like I was wrestling an elephant on acid surrounded by mice. If you are like me and figure max speed is best speed....don't. I ended up running at about 1/3 to be able to make turns.
I power raked after(with the lawnmower attachment) to blow all the aerated plugs to bits. I hate the look of those dried out lumps on the lawn. That took care of it really good.
