What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the initial passes over the compacted yard using the Bobcat S185 with the ABI SR3 attachment. He explains that the SR3 is composed of three main parts: a front rake, adjustable center tines, and a back rake. The key objective in this phase is to use the center tines to scarify and loosen the hard-packed subsoil, which is crucial for new grass to establish. The attachment breaks up the compacted ground, exposing fresh soil.

Goal: Loosen compacted soil and prepare it for further grading.

but today i finally start to get this thing dialed in now it's based it's basically made of three different components it has a front rake it has adjustable center tines and then it has a back rate and some guys get thrown off when they're using this attachment and i'm going to go more into that in just a now the key to fixing this area is not just in regrading it that's not going to help loosen up that subsoil that's where the sr3 really comes in handy i need to scarify and loosen up that soil so that the new seed that i'm going to be putting down has a chance to establish [Music] now another thing that i'm going to try
