If your aerating only and not seeding afterwards, just let the cores sit. They breakdown quickly. They will be gone after the first good rain.
Post the ad, perhaps we can tell.
Brinly also Make's them for Cub Cadet as well and Until Last Year There was a Cub Cadet Section On the Brinly website though I don't see it anymore on the Brinly website:thThumbsU
I would dethatch, roll, aerate then fertilize, in that order. Dethatching will pull the thatch up to expose the soil. Rolling it would correct any frost heave without pressing the thatch into the soil (thus making it harder to get up later), aerating would correct the compaction issues caused by the roller and give the fertilizer and grass seed the contact with the soil to promote seed germination and absorption into the soil. (I am not a professional, just a guy stating the logic I used to do my lawn)
Does Brinly also make JD thatchers, lawn sweepers, etc? Not trying to hijack the thread, but I was wondering who made these.:dunno:
Is that a commercial unit, homemade unit, or adapted from a pull behind? If commercial, what make and model?A plug aerator is the way to go as they reduce soil compaction. Without taking a plug out, the spike ones just create holes but don't reduce compaction.
I've have good results with the 3pt aerator we have.

They make a lot of things for JD. If you go to their site they have a special section just showing the JD branded products they make.
The short answer is yes. I have read repeatedly from experts the next best thing after fertilizing is typically core aerating. If you fertilize, core aerate and cut at the correct height your lawn should thicken up unless you have some kind of soil deficiency.
