OPERATION
WHEN TO AERATE
Your Aerator should not be used when lawn conditions are too wet or too dry. To determine condition, dig a small amount of your soil (about three inches deep):
If soil appears powdery and brittle- it is too dry. Wait until a later date, the Tines will not penetrate properly.
If soil appears damp, roll a small amount into a ball in the palm of your hand- if it forms a ball, then it is too wet. Ideally, the soil should fall apart when rolled in the palm of your hand. Wait until a later date for soil to dry. If soil is too wet, the Tines will not operate effectively and your tractor could loose traction, causing lawn damage.
