This is not a problem with this unit but is a problem with ALL hollow tines whether manual or powered. Ensure the soil is soft enough to penetrate but is not too soft that it 'squiggies' and blocks. A one metre piece of 10mm doweling can be poked into the tine to clear any blockage without bending down. Sometimes it is trial and error until you get the soil consistency right.TIP 2 Clear or Smash Cores: Don't leave the cores on the lawn. Either use the flat back of a landscapers rake to collect them or let them dry and go over them with a rotary mower to smash them. This distributes the soil as a top dressing but only works if your mower instructions allow it to be used without the box. Wear eye, face and leg protection.

Essential you sharpen and lubricate the tines. I used vegetable oil for this and worked will with no effects to the lawn. It was difficult to get the prongs down deep I nearly ended up chopping 2 out in order for more pressure over less surface area to penetrate the soil. Also with very compact soil have a piece of dowl to poke the plugs out. As they will struggle to push through the top as its designed to do. But overall a surprisingly sturdy bit of kit and does the job well with plenty of perseverance and prethought

Poor product. It gets clogged every time. In the video it shows the tines smoothly coming out but I have found that wet or dry it just clogs up and is a pain to unclog.
