ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Disclosed herein is a self-propelled aerating device including a chassis having a handle, aerating means for penetrating the ground, and an engine having an idle speed. The device further includes a throttle operatively connected with the engine and movable between a normally idle position for operating the engine at the idle speed and an advanced position for operating the engine at above the idle speed, aerator drive means movable between a normally disengaged position for rendering the aerating means inoperative and an engaged position for drivingly connecting the aerating means with the engine, and control means for moving the aerator drive means from the disengaged position to the engaged position before moving the throttle from the idle position to the advanced position and for moving the throttle from the advanced position to the idle position before moving the aerator drive means from the engaged position to the disengaged position. In accordance with one embodiment of the in- vention, the chassis has a front end portion and a rear end portion. Front support means is mounted on the front end portion for rotation relative to the front end portion and supports the front end portion from the ground. The aerating means is mounted on the rear end portion for rotation relative to the rear end portion, and the handle is also attached to the rear end portion. In this embodiment, the chassis is adapted to pivot relative to the front support means when the handle is moved vertically upwardly, thereby lifting the aerating means off the ground. The device further includes rear support means mounted for pivotal movement relative to the rear end portion and being movable between a transport position, in which the rear support means supports the rear end portion and the aerating means from the ground, and an operational position in which the aerating means supports the rear end portion from the ground and the rear support means limits the depth of penetration of the aerating means into the ground to a predetermined depth.
