Levelift worked great for me on very hard soil. I was able to do a hole a day and leave no evidence that anything had been disturbed. You dig up a few chunks of Zoysia and you'll be looking at that repair forever. Sandy soil is different, and you will get wet using it, but for me it was the difference between having level heads or not. You do have to have actual schedule 80 swing joints as well. Once you get good at it, you can literally level a head in around 10 minutes and the soil will set back up in a day or so. It really sucked when you dug one up, it didn't look good after, and then a golfer rolled over it in a cart and ruined the job. That was an hour wasted for a job that already looked bad and still had to be done over. If that happens with the levelift, (and it rarely did) it takes even less time to do it again. You have to give it a chance, (I've already had the argument with Steve), but it does work very well and it is very fast once you get the hang of it. That is as long as you don't melt when you get wet!!
