Makita UV3600 Lawn Scarifier - Lawn scarifiers (Black, Cyan)

Product Information

Begin scarifying: Having now completed the preparations, start the scarifier and work across the lawn in parallel rows. Be sure to overlap each pass slightly to ensure complete coverage. Blade Type: The blade type is also an important consideration. There are two main types of blades - fixed and floating. Fixed blades are more aggressive and better suited for heavily thatched lawns while floating blades are gentler and better suited for lawns with a light thatch layer. Some scarifiers have adjustable blade height, allowing you to choose the right setting for your lawn. When you compare the depths they need to be taken with a pinch of salt in my mind. Whilst the VonHaus is claiming 15mm it’s very hard to gauge. This is only -10mm but when comparing the two cuts this Makita really does seem to be ripping more material 🤔 Electric: Corded and cordless versions of lawn scarifiers are the most common. These machines either draw power from mains or a rechargeable battery. Mow the lawn: Start by mowing the lawn to a shorter length than usual to make it easier to see and remove any present debris or thatch.

Grass Bag - The Makita UV3600 comes with a 40 litre grass collection bag.

The scarifier has 19 different settings for cutting grass. It can cut between -10 and 5 mm for the scarifier cylinder and -5 and 10 mm for the dethatcher cylinder.
