SPRING – stand matted grass up to stimulate rapid green-up, pull leaves out of low spots, loosen thatch buildup, aerate lawns before feed & seed (then harrow afterwards to speed up fertilizer penetration and increase seed germination), prep seed beds (then work in & cover fertilizer and seed).
SUMMER – break up soil crusts on new seed beds without damaging young plants, rake pastures regularly to scatter manure droppings and stimulate grass growth, lift up crabgrass runners and heads so your mower can cut; rake & smooth dirt paths, gravel driveways and athletic fields.
FALL – shred dry leaves, aerate and dethatch lawns, minimum till.
WINTER – fluff/smooth snow on trails, breaking-up ice crust.
Amanda Browning –
It works well on sand for in between rides in a smaller arena. and easy to pull behind a mower or four wheeler. It is a bit heavy though and does rust a bit. It is a great buy for the price though.
