## Overview

The Step 'N Tilt Core Lawn Aerator Version 3 is a patented manual core aerator designed for effortless, ergonomic lawn aeration. It creates 3.4-inch deep, 0.79-inch diameter holes using durable, case-hardened carbon steel tines that are replaceable and sharpenable. Featuring a larger stepping surface and a unique step-and-tilt motion, it reduces strain on your back and shoulders. Ideal for small to medium lawns and heavy clay soils, it includes an optional soil core container to help level your yard naturally over time. Assembly requires basic tools, and optimal use demands moist soil conditions for clog-free performance.

## Description

Optional soil core container: The soil core container allows you to collect soil cores during lawn aeration. Its primary purpose is to improve the ground level or drainage of your yard without killing the grass. By collecting soil cores from areas that are high and disposing the soil cores to areas that are low, you will gradually improve the ground level or drainage of your lawn over a period of several aeration seasons. Helpful Hints for Step 'N Tilt Lawn Aerator: Please aerate one day after at least one inch of rain or irrigation. If you have a sprinkler system, each sprinkler zone will need to run for 60-90 minutes. In other words, the soil must be very moist. If the tines clog, the soil may be too dry or too wet for aeration. If the tines are unable to penetrate the ground and clogging, the soil is definitely too dry. The Step 'N Tilt Lawn Aerator is very effective at alleviating soil compaction problems. Simply step on the platform to insert aerator tines into the ground and tilt the handle bar back to remove the tines from the ground - it's that effortless and easy! The Step 'N Tilt Lawn Aerator is a true core aerator, not a spike aerator. Core aeration is a proven lawn aeration method recommended by lawn experts and university extension services worldwide. Its highly engineered hollow core aerator tines are extremely effective at extracting soil cores while creating 3.5" deep, 0.79" diameter holes in the ground. The sharpen-able, replaceable, and recyclable carbon steel aerator tines are case-hardened for extra durability. The package includes a soil core removal tool. An additional bonus: The Step 'N Tilt Lawn Aerator also functions as a handtruck. Some assembly is required. The Step ‘N Tilt Lawn Aerator’s Advantages: 1) Easier on your shoulders and lower back 2) Clog-resistant tines 3) Create up to four holes at a time 4) One size fits all 5) Replaceable aerator tines 6) Larger stepping surface to improve operator comfort

Review: I was expecting to hate this but... - I was not expecting much, reviews were hit or miss and there were't any youtube vids showing it in action outside of the manufacturer so I took a gamble. I bought and returned the yard butler previously because it kept clogging and fully expected this would have the same issues. IT WORKS AWESOME!!! For the price, worth every penny. Built very sturdy, I was really surprised how tough it is. Each piece came individually wrapped in plastic, the thick kind not the saran wrap plastic. Well boxed and shipped quick. Key to success: The handle curve has to face away from you, it is counter intuitive but this is how you get the leverage you need. Your soil has to be very wet, I luckily had 2 inches of rain over 3 days and right after went and used it for the first time. The picture is about 5 minutes of use. You can see all the cores and my grass is about 5 inches tall right now so not the easiest to get through. Tip #2 is that you have to use a rolling motion when you push and step on the box. You will want to rock it back and forth forward twice or 3 times to really get it through the soil. Like I said, I have about 5 inches of grass and rolling it back and forward a few times while I stepped on the box and leaned forward, I was able to get a good system working. So far, no clogs yet but as long as the ground is fully saturated, I am not expecting any issues. Probably best to do it right after getting an inch or more of rain, while the top of the surface is still wet to the touch. This is a hidden gem. The negitive reviews I read I now realized was more user error than anything else. This is an honest review and I was not paid or compensated in any way to write this.
Review: What you expected for a manual corer - NOTE: Only for small lawns! I have a small lawn and just want to plug core small portions of my lawn. It worked great. Assembly was a bit tedious and the catcher seems loose and flimsy to clip and lock. Other than that, it definitely isn’t the easiest to use. Make sure your lawn is soft and you will have a much easier go with this.

## Features

- ADJUSTABLE WRENCHES AND SCREWDRIVERS ARE REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY. Step ‘N Tilt is fast and easy to use. Simply step and tilt. This patented lawn aerator makes core aeration easy and enjoyable for do-it-yourselfers and professional landscapers. The tilting motion is easier on your shoulders and backs. Its larger stepping surface improves operator comfort.
- Step 'N Tilt is designed for operators between 4-feet and 6-feet 5-inches tall. Recommended minimum operator weight to use one set and two sets of tines are 80lbs and 150lbs, respectively. Please begin by using one set of tines only regardless of your weight. You may use two sets of tines after you have gained enough experience and if you weigh more than 150lbs.
- Please aerate one day after at least one inch of rain or irrigation. If you have a sprinkler system, each sprinkler zone will need to run for about 60 minutes. In other words, the soil must be moist to a depth of about 4 inches. Question: Why must I wait one day? Answer: Because it takes time for water to be absorbed into the soil, particularly clay soil. For use in areas with grass only; tines may clog if used in bare soil.
- Step ‘N Tilt is designed for all kinds of soil, including heavy clay soil - make sure the soil is moist but not too wet. If the tines are unable to penetrate the ground and clog, the soil is too dry. The soil is too wet if the tines can penetrate the ground easily but do not produce any soil core – please wait one day before aerating again. A soil core remover is included. The aerator tines are case-hardened for extra durability. The tines may be sharpened or replaced when worn.
- Step 'N Tilt is recommended for aerating small yards or areas not accessible by motorized lawn aerators. It can be used to aerate large yards but will require longer time than a motorized lawn aerator. The tines will create 3.4" deep, 0.79" diameter holes in the ground.
- This unit comes with an optional soil core container. The soil core container allows you to collect soil cores during lawn aeration and deposit the cores in other areas. Its purpose is to improve the ground unevenness and repair ruts of your yard without killing the grass. U.S. Patent 8714275 & 11147202.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should I keep going if It is not lifting the dirt out of the tube?**
A: You may unclog the tines using the included soil core remover.  If the tines continue to clog, the soil may be too wet or too dry.  Additionally, the tines may not be extracting any soil cores from the ground if the soil is highly compacted, because water cannot penetrate compacted soil during rain or irrigation; water will simply runoff the surface of the compacted soil, leaving the soil too dry to aerate. We do recommend that you keep going if you have such highly compacted soil. By doing so, you will be creating holes in the ground and loosening the compacted soil, even though you are not extracting any soil cores. The holes that are created will collect water during the next rain or irrigation, and this water will slowly penetrate the soil.  Subsequently, you should find it easier to aerate since the soil is more moist, leading to healthier looking grass as well.  Aerating in highly compacted soil will cause the tines to wear more quickly, so please sharpen or replace the tines if the tine tips become blunt or deformed.

**Q: Where can I get replacement tines?**
A: The replacement tines are available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WHL9J9Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_RKVH94NMJG07A6BQJVGT#

Thanks.

**Q: How many tines does this item come with?**
A: It comes with two sets of tines so you can create four holes with every step. However, we recommend using one set of tines only when you begin to use it. Two sets of tines may be used after you have gained enough experience and only if the soil is very moist.

**Q: Does plug automatically empty into container?**
A: Kind of, the soil has to have the right amount of moisture. I rarely use the container. I rake the plugs into lawn. If the soil does not have the correct moisture it'll clog, then you need to hammer a rod to unclog it. The thing works but its a work out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as advertised; great instructions on assembly and operation of aerator
*by S***. on August 26, 2021*

I am so glad I found this aerator on the internet. It is made in the U.S. I believe and is very well-made. It was well packaged and delivered in a timely manner. The instructions for assembly and for operation were quite complete and easy to follow. It is very easy to use and just right for my yard. Now, I will not be at the mercy of these lawn companies who want to charge an outrageous amount for aerating the lawn. Great idea. Would buy again. Thank you!!!
