8.1 Operating the Plugger
Level the implement from side to side and front to rear using adjustments on the tractor’s 3-point lift.
During implement adjustment, keep body, hands and feet clear of spoons or other parts.
Weight may be added to the plugger frame to aid in penetrating hard soil. Concrete blocks, water jugs or other
types of weight may be used as long as nothing extends through the frame and interferes with the rotation of
the spoons.
Penetration should be approximately 1 to 1-1/2”.
By removing core plugs from the soil, lawns are better able to breathe and hold moisture. Compacted soil and
thatch are relieved, allowing air and fertilizer to reach roots.
Optional slicing knives are available to replace
spoons on the mounting plates. Four knives per hub
are used to cut grass runners which causes new
growth and thicker lawns. Install as shown
Care should be exercised during use of the plugger
to prevent hanging the spoons on immovable
objects or otherwise use the implement under
conditions beyond its designed capacity.
