I have often said the ProCore 648 is probably the most innovative piece of equipment that Toro has come out with since I started back in early 1990's. However, for one of the most bulletproof units, there is a misconception of no service needed. As with any type of machinery, there is always adjustments that are required over time. After working with Jim Nedin this Friday, as he went over a customer's 2 ProCore 648's, it made me realize how many units are starting to get some time on them and should be checked. On a side note, every time I work with Jim, I am amazed by how knowledgeable he is on so many products. On this visit, it was really incredible to watch his diagnostic skills at work!
I have seen already a few times where 2 units are set at different depth settings to try and make them perform the same. This should throw up a red flag that you need to get them back to spec! You can take a look at your owners manual or contact your local Toro service department and get your units back to the way they were the day you got them.
Even if it just running the unit at a lower RPM or using the extended taper tines when it is wet, the unit has multiple adjustments and options to help you aerate with optimum results.
The amazing Jim Nedin at work!
