The scarifier should make light contact with the soil to effectively remove thatch and moss. It shouldn't dig too deep but should go through the grass easily. Adjust the height settings to find the right balance. Thanks Mark
A verticut cartridge uses vertical blades to cut into the soil and thin out the grass, promoting healthier growth by reducing thatch and improving aeration. A scarifier tines cartridge, on the other hand, uses tines or prongs to rake through the lawn, removing moss and debris while also aerating the soil. Both tools enhance lawn health but operate differently: verticutting slices into the soil, while scarifying rakes the surface.
@@EasyLawnMowing Okay thank you for your explanation. I would buy first on of these two catridge. So I think the scarifier is more gentle for the grass. How is the scarifier to set up from the hight. and is it possible to seed afterwards and make a small topdressing would this works ?
Hi, the the height is adjusted the same as the mowing cylinder cartridge. Yes, this is exactly what I did on the patches on my lawn. I overseeded and then put a topdressing of Jack's Magic compost over. You can get it in The Range 3 for £12. Thanks. Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing Okay, mean first, you go over your lawn with the Scarifier cartridge (not the verticut) and afeter that you overseed and bring on the top the magic compost ?
@@PandaBeatzzAIyes. This is what I have just done 4 days ago and the new grass is just coming through. I’m no lawn expert but this has always worked for me.
Hello, my English isn't perfect so I didn't understand everything. Can you cut to 30mm with the mower or doesn't that work so well? I currently cut my grass to 25 mm and in the summer to 30 mm or better to 35 mm.
Yes the mic I have clipped to my shirt does make it sound a little loud. Cylinder mower are do make more noise than a rotary blade due to the scissor like action of the cut.
One question you adapt the height for all the cassets and for the knifes for moving on the screw on the side - I’m correct ?
Yes correct. Thanks - Mark
@@EasyLawnMowing okay and how you adjust the correct height for the lifter cassette ?
When you use the scaryfer, have they contact to the soil or should this go easily troguh the grass ?

Thanks Mark, great video. Any plans on reviewing the Cambridge from Allett?
Good idea. I will reach out to them for a loan machine. Thanks
Cambridge looks way quicker for changing cartridges, undo 2 bolts, no taking covers or pulleys off. Probably gonna buy the Cambridge
One question, what is the difference between the verticut and the Fan cartridge. what could you reccomend for which use case

Hi Cutting Height: 6mm - 30mm on this 17e model. Thanks.
Bet you were sorry to see that go back, great mower
Yes, would have been great to keep it, but perhaps a little overkill for my lawn quality/condition.
Great video
Many thanks for your positive feedback, glad you enjoyed it. Mark
Great review! Can these be purchased in USA?
Many thanks. No I don't believe so. Regards Mark
How can I get one shipped to the USA ?
Hi, I'm not too sure. Please contact Henton & Chattell Ltd on 0115 986 6646 to see if this is possible.
Many thanks
