This is not a problem with this unit but is a problem with ALL hollow tines whether manual or powered. Ensure the soil is soft enough to penetrate but is not too soft that it 'squiggies' and blocks. A one metre piece of 10mm doweling can be poked into the tine to clear any blockage without bending down. Sometimes it is trial and error until you get the soil consistency right.TIP 2 Clear or Smash Cores: Don't leave the cores on the lawn. Either use the flat back of a landscapers rake to collect them or let them dry and go over them with a rotary mower to smash them. This distributes the soil as a top dressing but only works if your mower instructions allow it to be used without the box. Wear eye, face and leg protection.

I havent got round to trying it yet ...but it seems sturdy enough. I have read lots of reviews on this and similar products and this seems to be one of the best of this style at this price point. I am prepared to lubricate with WD40 and if and as necessary make modifications adaptations - eg sharpen the tines make a wooden tool for removing multiple cores etc. Not something I plan on using more than once a year at most so prepared to make it work! .

Bought a Hollow Tine Aerator. Although itll be mainly used in the Autumn its excellent and works far better than a garden fork. Deeper and wider aeration which will benefit my lawns .

Its going to take a long time to aerate the lawn using this. Force required to insert is very high will need to wait until the ground is wet.
