15.0 OPTIONS

  

 

The Verti-Core III is intended as a hollow core machine. 
 
Always use tines with the same length and thickness. Replace bent tines right away. If you fail to do 
so, the machine can become unstable. Do not use tines that are thicker and longer than specified in 
the technical specifications. 
 
Shorter (worn) tines can be used in cases where less working depth is required. Remember that the 
depth indication on the sticker is only correct when using maximum length tines. 
 
We recommend leaving the core guide plates (2) on the machine at all time, in order to protect the 
machine against dirt. The pages listing spare parts provide part numbers of the different parts.

15.1 HOLLOW TINES 

 
The opening of the tine (13) must always face the back of the machine

see Fig. 16. 

 

If stones are expected in the lawn, you should use heavier hollow tines, as well as decrease the rpm, 
given that lighter hollow tines are more prone to bending. 
 
The machine is supplied with 19mm (3/4”) tine blocks (3+4) with 5 tines (9) per block as standard. 
There is also the option of 7/8” tine blocks (5+6) with 4 tines (10), or multi tine blocks (7+8) with 8 tines 
(11 or 12) per block.
