Removing detritus, enabling you to aerate your turf properly is an essential part of lawn maintenance & should be done regularly. Thatch, moss, twigs etc can clog up the breathing apparatus of the lawn, preventing important nutrients form getting in, taking away water & blocking sunlight. Raking the lawn by h&, rather like digging, can be back-breaking, muscle straining work, so this effective, tow behind dethatching rake is just the tool for freeing up a large lawn of these pests, helping your lawn flourish & grow greener & healthier. With a working width of 102cm approx’ (40ins) it is suitable for larger lawns & it has 20 galvanised, heat-treated spring tines to really get into the thatch & haul it away, aerating the lawn & letting in air & goodness as it does. Good quality rubber tyres prevent damage to the lawn & ensure a smooth & jolt free ride & even working & a hand operated lever lowers the tines into working mode. The MD 40T Tow-Behind Dethatching Rake features a 12mm/ ½ inch hitch pin for towing by ride-ons.
