Mechanized Soil Cultivation and Leveling

let's just get started on that now so this ground is extremely hard packed and the attachment i'm using is actually called an sr3 made by abi attachments and it basically has three components to it it has a front rake it has center tines which are adjustable up and down and then it has a back rake and when i'm initially starting to loosen up the grade i'm using the center tines to control the depth that i'm actually loosening up the subgrade once i feel like i've got that subgrade loosened up to the depth that i'm happy with i'll then just concentrate on using the front and back rakes to smooth everything out going to be converting a previous parking pad into a grassy lawn area so i really wanted to make sure that i got the right depth scarified to allow that soil to mix with the fresh black dirt [Music] now you'll see the two wheels on this attachment rolling and what that is is kind of an indicator that i've got the attachment resting on the wheels so the attachment is contouring to the ground and then from there i'm just tipping the attachment forward and backward to either help me scarify or define all right so now we can see we're really starting to get all of these grades blended together and i'm taking my time there's this is a critical step i really want to get this part nailed so you can see the grades and spreading the black dirt is actually more important to me than the name brand of the seeds you get now here's where it gets to be interesting is in the seed now you're going to see a lot of different options with seed you've got northern blend you've got shady you've got hardy you've got high traffic you've got sun and shade really what you've got to determine is don't worry about the name on the bag worry about the conditions that you're going to be growing in and when i say don't worry about the name on the bag let me just give you a quick side by each demonstration here's kind of one of the high end grass seeds out there sun and shade mix okay now this is 67.40 and this 20 pound bag has a combination of perennial ryegrass bluegrass and fescues now we go right down the row we're going to go over here now this is a five pound less bag but it's 34.99 it's almost half price and it has a combination of fescue perennial ryegrass kentucky brew glass and annual rye grass now it has almost the same types of grass for a lot less money oh wait here's what you need to know grows well in full sun to light shade that's what we're looking for is the…
