    I have a 48" soil reliever that we use for aerifying our greens and it started tearing up the turf on the outside arm. Does anyone know how to test this to make sure it is straight. I have used levels and straight edges with no luck. the other three arms punch really clean but this one has a side punch that could be considered 1/2"-1" too wide and pulls the turf out when it comes up. it does not seem to be twisted or bent and all of the bearings seem to be good and tight. Not sure what else to check. Today we are aerifying with three arms.

    You more than likely have a worn or broken spring. We replace ours every season to prevent this.
