Does the ProPlugger work in grass with clay subsoils without the plugs sticking inside?

Absolutely! My yard is the epitome of clay soil and this thing works great. They do recommend not plugging in very wet conditions.

Yes. The plugger is tapered and slightly expands as more plugs enter the tool. If for some reason the plugs get jammed in the tool, simply push a broom handle into the bottom of the plugger and push the plugs out the top.
1253882
yes. If the soil is damp. I turned the plugger upside down and tapped it on the ground and out came the plugs in perfect form.

The planting tool does remove the plug, and that serves 2 purposes. First you pull the tool out of the hole put the plant in. finally you turn the tool over and the soil falls out ready replace in the hole. For me the best use I've found is for removing deep rooted weeds. Place

I have used it with clay with no problem. So far, I have not found a ground make-up that doesn't work, due to it's tapered tube for holding the plugs. Once they are "cut" they are pushed into the tube which is slightly larger than the cutting portion.

It all depends on the region you are in. I noticed there are two different diameter plug sizes. This particular plug will work in Venice. Yes, there are two plugs that will work and not be grounded. I actually have both sizes of the two pronged plugs. I know that really muddies the answer but there are two diameter two pronged plugs out there. Sorry this isn't more help.

For typical yard, very easy setup with the spikes that support the poles. I purchased this for use at my daughter's school, and where they were setting up for play at a particular area, we were not allowed to spike into the grass. We were able to improvise using small, heavy metal blocks that I looped the support lines over. I would guess on a sand pit area, you could probably do the same thing with stone blocks or something similar.

Plugs, couple of passes leaves nice dirt plugs on top of the grass. Only caution I have is that I was shorted a part from my Amazon order, and the manufacturer would not respond to my email. I would buy this from a local hardware store.

Yes it can. But it depends on the soil type how quickly. You need to pull it out to bring the dirt out every so often. I actually started with a smaller auger to start the hole and used the longer one to go down deeper. Clay soil is a bit hard to get through but doable.

I'm in the midwest, so I deal with lots of clay. Little rocks aren't an issue; it tilled around rather large rocks without a problem. With hard pack clay, you will have to go over the area a couple times, and be patient, but it can do it. Keep the ballast full or it will jump all over the place! I agree with the previous comment about tree roots; those are the real problem. Very annoying, but even then, you can get through it.

Not really, what I did was mount it under my normal blade and used one of the washers that fit the hole then tightened it up with the large washer over it. I didn't seem to move and I think it helped bag more of the dead grass.

No, but we use a tarp underneath (usually on the grass) and it seems to work fine.

i have used my auger on some very hard soil, it worked well with a normal electric hand drill. it also worked with a cordless drill. hope this helps..

Yes. Yes I have. I lowered the blades and it did not make a difference. It seemed to barely cut anything and when opening the grass catcher it had almost nothing in it. I ended up going back to gas and couldn't be happier. I bought a troy built with a grass catcher for 199 and love it!

So far I've used it a couple times and hadn't noticed anything like that. See if it makes a difference between certain ground terrain. (Test it on different types of grounding if you haven't already, like inside a store with smooth floor vs street)

yes, you mostly just unfold the handle out of the box and hook on either the mulch plug or grass bag. We started parking it in the garage after we were noticing some corrosion on the handle when left under the deck.

Just to reiterate, this is more to breakup soil rather than fertilize the lawn. Nevertheless, I used it like fertilizer where I spread the Gypsum over my lawn which is very clay heavy. It does not need to be worked into the clay. This product does work, and after your first pass, you will see a difference. However, my lawn requires more than one pass through.

No. It works on an extension cord. Used it at the end of last season in our 20 by 30 ft garden! Very powerfull and easy to use! Just plug it in and go!

While I use a mulching insert on my JD X320 it should help mulch without a plug.

Yes but is not effective if the grass is the least bit wet.The best catcher by far is the sweeper type.Its also easier to empty and holds more grass.

I set mine up to the lowest setting ( the wires stick out the most ) and it did not scrape the soil.
