I have that unit, along with the Brinly aerator. They both work well for me, as I only have a quarter acre lawn. The dethatcher can be labor intensive as after I've dethatched I still have to go over the lawn with the mower to suck up all the debris. I use them once a year to prepare the lawn for overseeding, and I agree with you, this piece of equipment is better left for the homeowner and not the professional.
Great video man. I’m going to fab it to a front mounted for my 36 stand on its way cheaper than buying one and I’m going to bag it up at the same time.
Yea I can see that's a lot that comes off and I think your right commercial definitely the front mount so you can clean up the yard faster. Great video brother.
@@JonsDailyHustle Your very welcome. My next video hopefully some time this week. It was going to be tomorrow, but I have a bad ear infection and a pulled muscle in my shoulder. Hopefully soon brother.
With the cheap welder from Harbor freight. I rigged it to where mine is mounted right in front of my agri-fab yard sweeper. So every pass I make it gets swept right up. I do have a clogging issue but since I don't have the cheap Wheels I'm able to back up and it clears out and then I can go back over it again
For larger yard that is much better than the SunJoe. It is a pain when you have to go over the same areas a bunch of times to pick up the grass debris. I like the core aerator you have there.
I haven't seen the powered pull behind dethatchers yet. I've seen the powered walk behinds but not a pull behind one. I'll have to look into them and check it out
I have the smart link thatcher (same thing) and I really find it frustrating how often it clogs, I noticed once it clogs it is not effective, I spend more time getting on and off to unclog it, really for the time spent on using this with big yards you might as well get a power dethatcher instead
I agree for the first use....however if you dethatch your yard once a year or once every other year it will make it more manageable and from what I've seen it doesn't clog up as much
@Casey Porter that's awesome they do work well. There's a link in the description from Amazon if you wanted to check it out that way....but I respect your decision wherever you buy it, you can go wrong. If you buy it through a store just make sure it looks right as sometimes they don't know how to assemble them and they won't work right
Yes it is. Definitely need a commercial unit to pull things like this for extended periods of time. Smaller trailers with not much in them are fine....but this unit depending on how much weight you put on it can cause damage
You can always check by looking at your cores pulled from aerating. If you see a pretty thick layer of dead grass on the top of the soil of your cores you'd probably benefit from one
@@BioHazardra oh yea I forgot about that. You can actually just pull a core sample out of the yard yourself if you have a small diameter pipe it would work possibly if you really wanted to know 🤷♂️ lol
I hat them thinks. It's not for me. I had the same issues. The front mount is thecway ... snapper had them 60 years ago.. lol. Expensive for them front mountain 800.
I found front mounts for 450$ and 599$ I didn't think they were that bad of a deal. I'm looking at buying one next year hopefully, but I've got to get the right setup first
The Angry Fab is a piece of junk. Cheap thin metal and rocks and jumps like hell, regardless of additional weight on it. Looks like you sped up the video showing the dethatcher at work. If you don't have a perfectly flat yard and go slower than snail this thing rocks and jumps making the tines miss tons of spots. Go for the brinly. They looks similar but the brinly is made slightly better.
I had 0 issues with this unit and did close to 100 yards with it. Sure it's thin and could use a few upgrades but mine was great. Sorry you had some problems
Thanks for making a clear video that actually show what the dethatcher is doing instead of just taking

I bought it 40$ used and was totally worth every dime. It saved so much time amd money. Is also solid lil machine
I agree, these are well worth the money for sure

@Little's Lawn Care that's awesome bro. Let me know how you do it, I'm curious to see
@@JonsDailyHustle I sent you a pic on Instagram of it
Yea I can see that's a lot that comes off and I think your right commercial definitely the front mount so you can clean up the yard faster. Great video brother.
@Wils Bill's Adventures most definitely. Thanks for your support as always brother. When's your next video coming out?
@@JonsDailyHustle Your very welcome. My next video hopefully some time this week. It was going to be tomorrow, but I have a bad ear infection and a pulled muscle in my shoulder. Hopefully soon brother.
@@wildbillslawncare5901 sorry to hear that brother. I'll be here to watch it. Get to feeling better
@@JonsDailyHustle Thank you brother I appreciate that.

I would like to see how you did that I was thinking of the same set up you just said!
Great video. I'm still thinking about buying the dethatcher but space is an issue. 👍
This dethatcher is light and can actually be moved around easily and possibly hung on a wall if you take the handle off
That actually makes sense to have a front mount Dethatcher instead of a pull behind. Definitely would save time to bag the debris.
@Billy Goat Lawn Service yessir, it will definitely save you a bunch of time for sure

There’s actually powered pull behind dethatchers out there. Obviously way more money but also way more effective.

Whats the handle used for?
It raises and lowers the tines
great channel new sub
i def need one of those

I've heard pull behinds are hard on the hydros. Any truth to that?
Yes it is. Definitely need a commercial unit to pull things like this for extended periods of time. Smaller trailers with not much in them are fine....but this unit depending on how much weight you put on it can cause damage
Suuuuuuup JON
Will it get gravel out of the grass?
@Curtis no this is only for thatch grass. It might pick up maybe 1 or 2 rocks but not more than that
I need to get myself one
@Precise Landscaping they definitely work well
id be interested to see if dethatching would help my yard. idk if anyone in my area does it at all or not tho
You can always check by looking at your cores pulled from aerating. If you see a pretty thick layer of dead grass on the top of the soil of your cores you'd probably benefit from one
@@JonsDailyHustle id have to get a plugger then cause my aerator is a spike type lol
@@BioHazardra oh yea I forgot about that. You can actually just pull a core sample out of the yard yourself if you have a small diameter pipe it would work possibly if you really wanted to know 🤷♂️ lol
I guess it would not attach to a stander?????
@LAWN 1 what's up bro. I've seen some guys make it work with standers but I'm not sure how they did it
I hat them thinks. It's not for me. I had the same issues. The front mount is thecway ... snapper had them 60 years ago.. lol. Expensive for them front mountain 800.

Proofread my man! 😂
Just to fill you in man you’re not supposed to dethatch lawn that is 4 5 inches high. Cut it down to 2 inches
Agreed, the customer was supposed to have this cut before I got there....he told me to do it anyways lol
Of course its worth it. You get to ride your mower for more than just mowing. Stop making mowing a CHORE.
What???
