Seeding/Multipurpose Height

The seeding/multipurpose blades are used for cutting grooves for over-seeding and can also be used for verticutting grasses. To set the height properly place unit on the lawn surface and adjust the wheel height up (see Fig. 4 ). Adjusting the wheel height up lowers the blades.

Seeding

The proper height setting for over-seeding is approximately 1/4” into the ground. Adjust the wheel height up approximately one notch. If set deeper, grass seed being applied may not germinate.

For best results, over-seed in two passes of 1/2 application rate at right angles or in a criss-cross pattern. Water heavily immediately after seeding then lightly for 10-14 days keeping soil moist.

Slicing

The proper height setting for slicing or aerating is 1/2” to 3/4” into the ground. Adjust the wheel height up one or two notches.

For crawling grasses such as Zoysia, Bermuda, Bahia, etc. raise the wheels only one notch. Crawling grasses should not be sliced too deeply. For single strand grasses like Bluegrass or Rye, aerate in perpendicular directions for more even slicing. For example, slice in a North-South direction on the first pass, switching to an East-West direction on the second pass.

As the seeder/multipurpose blades wear they may be rotated to provide a new cutting edge. The wheels may be raised to allow the blades to penetrate deeper into the ground.

CAUTION

BE CERTAIN THAT THE SET SCREWS ARE

TIGHTENED PROPERLY IN BEARINGS AND PULLEY

Slicing Height

The slicer blade assembly is recommended for slicing, verticutting or aerating when a thinner blade is preferred. This is the recommended blade for use on golf course greens. To set the height properly place unit on the lawn surface and adjust the wheel height up (see Fig. 4). Adjusting the wheel height up lowers the blades.

The proper height setting for slicing or aerating is 1/2” to 3/4” into the ground. Adjust the wheel height up one or two notches.

TRS-20, TSS-20 specifications

Classen TSS-20 and TRS-20 are two powerful tools designed for turf care and soil management, specifically targeting professional landscapers and dedicated gardening enthusiasts. Both models are equipped with a host of features, technologies, and characteristics that facilitate efficient turf maintenance and soil aeration.

The Classen TSS-20 is primarily recognized for its superior turf seeding capabilities. With a 20-inch seeding width, it allows for wider coverage and faster operation, making it ideal for larger areas. The TSS-20 features a precision seed delivery system that ensures even seed distribution and minimizes waste. This system is designed to accommodate a variety of seed types, including fescue, rye, and bluegrass, enabling users to customize their seeding approach based on their specific lawn care needs.

On the other hand, the TRS-20 is tailored for aerating soil and enhancing root systems. The TRS-20 utilizes a core aeration method, where it pulls out soil plugs, thereby reducing soil compaction and promoting better drainage. The unit is equipped with heavy-duty tines that penetrate deep into the soil, enabling it to reach areas otherwise inaccessible. This process significantly enhances turf health by allowing essential nutrients, water, and air to penetrate the root zone.

Both the TSS-20 and TRS-20 are powered by reliable, high-performance engines, ensuring robust operation even in demanding conditions. Their compact and lightweight design allows for easy maneuverability, while the collapsible handles provide convenient storage options when not in use.

In terms of maintenance, both models are designed for durability and longevity. They feature corrosion-resistant components and are easy to service, ensuring minimal downtime for users. The intuitive control interfaces make operation straightforward, allowing even novice users to achieve professional-quality results.

In conclusion, the Classen TSS-20 and TRS-20 represent cutting-edge solutions for turf care and soil management. Their unique features, innovative technologies, and user-centric designs make them invaluable assets for anyone looking to maintain a healthy and vibrant lawn. Whether for professional landscaping or personal gardening projects, these machines deliver consistent performance and results that exceed expectations.
