Uproot dead, matted grass and dislodge hard-packed dirt for planting with this efficient tine de-thatcher from Illinois farm and garden supplier Agri-Fab. The tine de-thatcher penetrates and turns up dried grass, weeds, and soil in 40-inch wide swathes. Loosening heavy thatch and compacted dirt allows water to penetrate deeper and enhances drainage while letting in vital oxygen. Without these elements, grass and soil can become prone to disease and insect- and pest- related problems. Users tow the de-thatcher behind a tractor for quick productivity.
The de-thatcher features twenty 3/16-inch spring-loaded tines, heat-treated for greater durability in tougher conditions. Rustproof and replaceable, the tines are affixed to a heavy-duty steel tray. Users lower and lift the tines from use by pulling an upright lever on top of the tray. The long lever is easily accessible from the tractor seat. Two 7-inch diameter semi-pneumatic wheels with a width of 1-1/2 inches traverse most any terrain. A hitch pin accompanies the de-thatcher. For the best results, de-thatch in the spring, mid-summer, and fall to keep yards and fields healthy and attractive. The de-thatcher was manufactured in the USA and requires no tools for assembly. Upon shipping, the de-thatcher measures 40-1/2 by 11 by 4 inches and weighs 31 pounds.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
In some spots, clumps of sod were pulled up which actually was thatch. I raked in some grass seed, covered it with mowing clippings, and the grass made a quick comeback. I did this at the beginning of October. With the cool, damp nights here in eastern Pennsylvania this time of year is when we get our best lawns.
Overall: easy assembly, heavy duty construction, and good results loaded or unloaded.
Four stars to 5. Worked perfectly! However, much like measure twice cut once...start off with no weight on the dethatcher. I placed two patio bricks on it and it dug right into my yard PLUS clogged the tines! LOL!
With zero weight it worked perfectly. Again however, I was able to use it and keep my grass catcher on at the same time. My problem was that the catcher interfered with the dethatcher when I turned right and only to the right. It would lift it off the ground on one side. But that issue is only mine and mine alone...usage may differ for you. So basicly, no problems and I stick to my original statements above especially that there is no reason to pay more, this is the one. They are all the same.
When I did my due diligence on these dethatchers I wanted to know if they were any good. Well, most of the low star reviews had NOTHING to do with performance only on the fact that they were incapable of assembly.
I mean no disrespect so don't reply in anger to me.
I received the box yesterday. Damn it was heavy! That's what you get when you buy a product made in the USA.
Let me jump ahead and say that if this is the "cheap" model I see no reason to spend more. However this comes from a DIY homeowner so perhaps it would make a difference for commercial use.
The build....be organized....lay everything out....get the correct tools together...and READ the instructions!
Keep them close by and look at the illustrations. Give yourselves a good 2 hours and have patience.
I'm no rocket scientist but I do know which end of a hammer to use.
At times it was a bit confusing but even if you make a mistake it's nothing you can't come back from.
Yes, it helps to get ALL the pieces, which I did....identify which bolts and nuts are which...don't rush this thing. If you don't have the time to do it right then don't do it at all! That's what my daddy would say.
This is a very solid piece of equipment and with care should last me till I no longer need it. I will be attaching it to my TroyBilt Tonka toy rear engine mower and my neighbor will use it on his home tractor so I'm sure you will be able to use it on your toy.
I didn't refer to the youtube video but if needed it's there I've been told...I will be using it this weekend and anticipate no problems. It's a pretty straightforward piece of equipment. Good Luck all, bite the bullet, Once it's done it should last a looong time. Just keep a wrench on the bolts and you'll use it for years. Yes, I am pleased with my purchase. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I haven't used it yet. I hope to return to update .

Good value to efficacy ratio.
Assembly instructions are wrong. The (15) hex bolt are NOT 5/16x1". They are 1/2 x 1" . Note this.
In fact anything that reverences 5/16" hex heads are wrong. The (23) 5/16" Nylock nuts are actually 1/2".
But the assmbly instructions state you'll need (2) 1/2" wrenches for the above parts.
The other wrench sizes were identified appropriately.
Do not think you can assemble this dethatcher with a couple of open end/box end 1/2" wrenches. At least (1) 1/2" socket wrench is required. Even the diagrams reference 5/16" bolts and nuts. This is plainly foolish.
Once you get this thing assembled via nuts/bolts there is the matter of installing the tines. Figure 7 of page 5 shows using a flathead screwdriver to bend the tabs that secure the tines. Uh, no. Flip the dethatcher over (top up) and use a wide screwdriver or better yet a small prying tool and 'raise' or pry 'up' the tabs to secure the tines.
On page 5, paragraph 14 it states to used (2) 5/16" carrage bolts and (2) 5/16" Nylock bolts to secure the lift handle to the axle bracket. I missed that because Figure 8 on the same page shows (1) 5/16" bolt/nut. Why?
Once this was finally assembled (frustrating with having to find all the proper tools) it works well. BUT, do not expect to be able to reach the lift handle from any rear engine machine. Nope. Not going to happen.
I loaded 45 Lbs. of weight on the top and secured the concrete blocks and a couple of bricks using bungee cords. (not included) After a good spring shower this dethatcher did what I expected it to do. It pulled up dead grass, dead weeds, new weeds trying to get established and I was pleased.
I then mulched all that dead material to prepare for pre-emergent and follow up application of broad leaf herbicide. This is not a heavy duty machine. The lift handle is too flimsy and should be at least one gauge heavier regarding its steel. I'll keep it, but only becasue I had to re-engineer it and make it a worthy investment.

The product worked great on my large backyard. I didn’t bother adding weight as it worked well without it.
I did not need to make any modifications.
The 48” model is >$100 more and I’m sure it is just as good. But the 40” is priced very good and works great.
Happy with the product. Hoping it can be used for many years.
