Dethatching is a big job, as a landscape contractor wants to remove most of the moss and thatch from the lawn. However, ironically this creates even more clean-up work, which is the less attractive and time consuming part of this job.
However, now there is a solution. ELIET, the Belgian manufacturer of lawn scarifiers with more than 35 years of experience, is launching its C550ZR Collector on the market this spring.
INFINITELY VARIABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The working depth is typically 2 mm. At this speed, virtually no braking is applied to the blades so that they can operate at full speed and lift up moss and thatch from the lawn surface. As the blades do not cut through the roots, this greatly reduces the time required by the lawn to recover after dethatching. Accurate and correct depth setting implies a very fine adjustable depth adjustment. To this end, the front wheels of the C550 Collector feature an infinitely variable adjustment. This enables the same depth to be set across the entire blade shaft.
WHEELS WITH MUD SCRAPERS
If dethatching takes place in the spring on a swampy lawn, the newly raked moss tends to stick to the wheels so that the machines move up and down when crossing the lawn, with this having a clearly visible effect on the result of the raking. To remedy, ELIET have fitted scrapers to the wheels of its professional dethatching machines. Any dirt that sticks to the wheels is immediately removed from the wheels.
