Heavier and more powerful than their electric counterparts, a petrol scarifier is ideally suited to dealing with tough areas of thatch and moss. Here at The Green Reaper, we’re delighted to offer a great range of dedicated petrol units, as well as combined petrol scarifier and aerators.
The machines we supply will allow you to remove unwanted dead lateral grass stems (thatch) which build up during the course of the season. Thatch restricts grass growing up, then moss and weeds take over, stopping the penetration of water and nutrients to the roots of your grass.
A petrol scarifier is, in effect, a vertical mechanical rake with knife blades (or wire tines) which are spaced out along an axle (reel) just like a cylinder mower. These tines act like a vigorous comb churning out debris from the grass layer. The depth can be set to just brush the surface of the soil; this procedure (grooming) is especially beneficial during the active growing season and is recommended at least once a month.
We understand how important quality is to our customers, which is why we only offer products from top manufacturers.
Contact us if you have any questions about the range, and don’t forget that delivery to most UK mainland addresses is free of charge on machinery over £50.
