    Hey Ben, Thanks for the tips man! Just a thought for when you take a plug out for the pin mate, be aware that there’s electrical cables under there, particularly around the connection box. I’m sure you’ll be well above their buried height (500mm in W.A. Not too sure for N.S.W.) but wouldn’t want you to find out the hard way!

  • @Player16

    Your soil's not wet enough for the cores to be pushed out. What I do is first, spray a bit of Armor All or a lite coat of oil in the tines. If they start to clog up, get a sizeable bolt and bash from the other end to dislodge. Patients, patients is all you need.
