Agri-Fab40-Inch Tine Tow Dethatcher 45-0294,Black

The adjustment bar/handle would be better, if it was a little stronger; as it seems a little too flimsy. But it does the job of dethatching very well.

I bought this for my large and rather rough grassed area which has a lot of moss in it. I used the dethatcher with a couple of bricks as ballast and it really does rip the moss and thatch out well. It could be better if they staggered the tines as the two rows are in line staggering would give better coverage but it still works well . I found the dethatcher quite straightforward to assemble, it took about an hour max. For someone like myself who has a very bad moss problem I would advise using the dethatcher in a criss cross fashion if you can as it does take more of the stuff out of the grass. I thought the dethatcher may have removed some of the grass but this was not a problem and the grass is left more or less unaffected to regrow into the areas where the moss was. In summary really useful device at a good price.

I have to use two concrete blocks for weight in order to get prongs in the ground, tends to clog quickly, have to get down off tractor to clear. flimsy level for raising and lowering. It does a reasonable job scarifying.

A bit of a pain to put together. It took about an hour in total. I can't say it is that well made as I thought it was quite light weight but so long as it does the job and doesn't fall apart I'm happy. The wheels are plenty strong enough and are not used that much anyway. I have used it once and it does do it's job but the tines have to be de-clogged from time to time.

Took a while to assemble. Quite challenging, but no problems and once assembled does the job required
