      I think this would be a bit too dangerous to use on eyebrows.

    I have had the ryobi unit for a couple of years. It does a fantastic job and super light weight. I struggle with heavy equipment these days due to chemo, so the light weight is a god send. Time spent on my lawn is so therapeutic.

    Hi Ben I run stihl scraifiers.. I find it helps to lift the exit flap up a little with a bungee cord or a little bit of strimmer cable.. then it wont bog down as much

    lol in Cananda i just did a fall dethatch, top dress, over seed, and fert, getting ready for it to go dormant over the winter, love to see the opposite

    I have Buff and bought a mains powered Draper unit from Total Tools for $250 bucks. Comes with the grooming/dethatching reel. Switched the scarifier attachment over for that reel and it pretty much got rid of all the thatch while keeping the runners intact.
    100% the way to go for dethatching Buffalo safely.

    I literally just bought this for my front and back garden. It worked great. I found walking extremely slow without the catcher really helped with the cutting out issue. Great product imo

    I literally just did the same thing to my lawn this past weekend. Put some grass seed and starter fert down afterwards.

    I just got a predator domestic scarifyer for my birthday. It is obviously a petrol one. Does an awesome job but still clogs up inside, so I put a strap holding the catcher up.
    Comes with the two reels aswell which is so convenient

    You should try pinning the back hatch open on the de thatcher so the thatch is coming out the back. The machine will be able to keep up better.

    I have question, we have just had a landscaper in who had laid topsoil over weedmatt then seeded. The topsoil looks like it’s only a inch or 2 in some places. Will the lawn suffer from this and will it need topdressing to add more soil to rooting?

    Can the renovation process be done over 3 weeks??
    Just with work, availability of equipment and things im not going to be able to get it done,

    bought the ryobi dethatcher to get ready for my reno, just wondering if you recommend doing a pass in both directions?

  • @TPGMatt

    Great video mate. I’ve bought a property in WA and it’s got QLD blue couch out the front. It hasn’t been renovated at all and I reckon this lawn has been here for 10+ years. I’ve bought an Ozito 36v scarifier and did a test patch and it works a treat. Now my question is, how low/hard should I scalp for my renno? It’s got a decent thatch layer and I’m wondering if it can handle a complete scalp right down to dirt, or should I do a medium renno and then another renno in a couple months time.

    Isn't the spring tines cartridge purely just a power rake and only clears debris up and does not dethatch?

    What ear buds are you running there and would you recommend them for a contractor? Do they cancel enough noise?

      Hey mate. They are Ultimate Ears. Intended for musicians in loud settings to stop sound bleeding in. Block out so much more than my AirPods.
      If you are interested in something similar, I got them from acustoms.com.au
