I am thinking about buying a Woods pulverizer. But I'm not sure it would do the job I need.I am not familiar with what it can do. I need an attachment that can even out already established lawns that are uneven (do to wash out or bad seed prep). Would this attachment help or would it be better to till up and start over?

A pulverizer is intended for "finishing" a lawn AFTER working it with a box blade or whatever you choose to grade it with. They are about useless in ground with ANY established turf. They aren't for moving soil, or for uprooting grass.
Using one after sod has been tilled up is frustrating at best. Pulverizers DO NOT like grass. They are for DIRT ONLY applications.

Indy,
I thought a pulverizer was for moving soil, scarifying, leveling and finally smoothing??? Am I missing something here? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Pulverizers will help bust up the crust and compact the soil and do very little for leveling. A box blade or grader blade or possibly a FEL may better suited to level with. Then a cultipacker or roller to put the seed in--Ken Sweet

Thanks Ken,
I thought the pulverizer did more leveling do to the large I-Beam. So mainly it is for busting up the soil more than anything? Well then....this shed's a new light on the attachment for me. There are probably better ways to achieve a proper grade plus get the seed bed ready....short of a power rake of course.

Depends on how much washout or bad prep - if it's a significant percentage I'd just till it and reseed.
Of course I'm saying that without actually seeing it, or being aware of how lkely it is that you'll have another washout problem. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
