Makita UV3600 Lawn Scarifier - Lawn scarifiers (Black, Cyan)

Product Information

Water the lawn: Water the lawn thoroughly a day or two before using the scarifier to soften the soil and make it easier for the scarifier to penetrate the ground. It comes with robust housing made of high-grade, impact-resistant plastic. The long handle on the scarifier can be folded up to save storage space. However, if you have a relatively new lawn that has yet to have time to build up a significant layer of thatch, then a scarifier may not be necessary. Additionally, purchasing a scarifier may not be worth purchasing if you have a small lawn, as you may achieve similar results by manually raking the lawn. This is because they don’t dig into the ground pulling out weeds in the same way as the scarifiers. Scarifiers generally have blades to dig into the soil

Large Wheels - The scarifier has large wheels to make it easier to move, and also to improve stability. The tyres are rubberised for durability. A 35 litre, easily detachable collection bag should keep you from having to stop and empty too often and the 10 metre cable is more than enough for most average gardens. Petrol/Diesel Scarifiers: Ideal for larger lawns, these scarifiers are powered by petrol or diesel engines, offering increased mobility and power. They are suitable for heavy-duty scarifying tasks and are commonly used by professional landscapers. If you have a lawn looking tired and you suspect it has a lot of thatch buildup, then using a lawn scarifier can be a good way to rejuvenate it and improve your lawn's overall health and appearance.

Pros However, before we start the charge on Makita,The Bosch AVR verti-cutter has a combination of BOR steel blades, a 1100 watt power drive motor and their innovative ‘jet collect’ system and has proven the test of time – it’s been around a lot longer and used far more, I know from experience. These 3, working in unison, allow the verti-cutter to shift thatch and moss rapidly, efficiently and without leaving any behind. With a working width if 32cm, 4 working heights from -10mm to +5mm which are the same depths of the Makita but I wouldn’t let the Makita loose on the lawn in this video – I fear there would be nothing left 😀
