Not easily operated

Would Not Recommend

Easy to hook up to our machine to tow behind. The lever to lowercand raise the dethatcher is short and you have to turn and stech just to operate it. Not recommended for large yards or if your looking for an easy piece of equipment to operate

De-thatcher

Would Recommend

If you add some weight it does a really good job. It was a little difficult to put together.

Challenge to assemble,

Would Recommend

I was very skeptical before i started using this in my backyard which was nothing but dead weeds. It proved itself very well and made a believer out of me. Only thing i would change is an heavier handle, and another bracket to the same handle at the base.

Great value for the price

Would Recommend

I recently purchased this unit to de-thatch my half-acre yard. I have previously used a de-thatcher blade on my 22" Toro. This was better than nothing, but not much. Assembling the Agri-Fab unit was easy. Instructions were thorough. Attached behind my 42" Airens, performance was amazing. I'm 79 so appreciated the ease and performance.

very manageable

Would Recommend

I chose to have it assembled so all I needed was a few pounds of weight and off I went.. Got too dark for me to accurately say it's sturdy and durable but will find out tomorrow.

Great Outcomes

Would Recommend

Assembly is relatively easy. Just wish the hitch came pre-assembled. Does a great job de-thatching the yard.

Concrete patio blocks are recommended for weight. You may also try slowing your speed down. Read More

Works Great!

Would Recommend

Bought the 40" tine de-thatcher last month and used it for the first time. Have just under an acre of yard that has never had the thatch removed. It towed and worked as expected without any issues. No weight was required to keep it in the lawn and I'm very pleased with the results. Would definitely recommend it!

Works pretty well. The raise/lower handle a little flimsy but overall I'm satisfied
