Wolf-Garten UGM Multi-Change Moss Removal Rake Lawn Care Tool Head

My lawn needed a good scarifying and in past years I have had someone do this for me with a machine. I decided to do it myself this year but did not want to hire a machine and decided I could really do with the exercise. This tool really fit the bill and it is very sturdy so I expect it to be of use for many years to come.It has taken me about 6 hours to do my whole lawn which in the scheme of things isn't long. I liked the fact that it could be used in a way that it took out the old moss and dead matted grass when pulling it toward you and then when pushing it back it left what it had pulled in a pile. Unlike when using a rake, you keep having to stop and take what you have gathered out of the teeth of the rake, this tool dislodges it as you go which makes the process much faster and easier to manage.If you are looking for a tool to do this job with I can't think of a better one to buy.

This is a really good product, works really well definitely one to buy if you want clean out your lawn from dead grass weed and other grown .Be aware though you need to buy handle separately.

The product is great but doing a large garden with one is hard going. You may need to do it in stages.I am fairly young, strong and fit but I can see why the professionals use mower attachments for scarifying and say they are worth the money.

Works well and main rod interchangeable with

Really works.

There are two reasons I got this one: firstly, it seems to be the only scarifying rake that is specifically designed for the job, and secondly it fits the universal Wolf Garten handles, which just happens to be about the only ones I can get that are long enough for someone of my height (6'4").I know it's not the ideal time of year for scarifying the lawn, but as it's past dandelion seed season, and I don't mind the other weeds so much, I thought I might as well rake the lawn of our new house, a job that I estimate had been neglected for at least 2 1/2 years.I looked at machines, but as our lawn isn't too big, I thought a bit of elbow grease might be in order for the job, and I must say I am glad I went down that route. Even though it's quite a hard job, and I was even considering leaving the rest for tomorrow less than halfway through, it is good exercise, and the resistance on the rake also tells you where you need to rake a bit extra.I found the rake works best when it is at quite a low angle to the ground when the pulling force pushes it down just right so it doesn't get stuck in the ground, and with the jointed teeth, whatever you rake releases easily from it when you push it away from you.It raked a lot more than I expected, easily cutting its way through moss, scraping up dead or half-dead grass (probably from being suffocated by the moss), and at the end of it my garden waste bin was as full as I'd normally expect it to be after about three to four mowings of the lawn during prime grass growing season.I also found that the shape of the teeth dug up stones and pebbles that had settled in the top soil just under the grass, and there were more of those than I expected too, and nice to get them off the lawn.All in all, it's a well-designed gardening tool that is better and more efficient than I expected, as hard work as I thought it would be, and though I expect a bit of resharpening might do it some good for next time, it certainly feels as if the build quality will stand up to many years of annual or semi-annual use and abuse.The Wolf Garten concept and series of gardening tools, though not so much a money saver, is certainly a space saver and a convenient way to get a set of gardening tools that are easy to store and use. Coupled with the longest handles I know of and this unique scarifying rake, it will always be my first choice now whenever a tool exists in the series.Highly recommended (but do prepare for some hard work).

This works well, gets moss and leaves out of the lawn with minimum effort

eigentlich kein Thema für Erwachsene, aaaaaber:Der kleine und systembedingt gewichtige Moosrechen hat es in sich. Ich habe ein Waldgrundstück auf welchem noch einige Flachwurzler stehen, mitten im Rasen. Hier möchte ich nicht mit einer Maschine, d. h. motorgetrieben vertikutieren; es gäbe einen ständigen Kampf zwischen Wurzeln und Vertikutierer und im Ergebnis drei Verlierer- mich- den Vertikutierer und nicht zuletzt die- Wurzeln.Wenn also unter solchen Bedingungen die moosdurchsetzte Rasenfläche nicht zu groß ist, führt kein Weg an diesem Teil vorbei, es sei denn, man hat bereits ne Kundennummer vom Bestatter am Zeh! ;o)) Außerdem ist inzwischen ja bekannt, dass die motorgetriebenen Vertikutierer auch so ihre Probleme haben, wie- ständiges Abschalten wegen Überlastung,- Durch. bzw. sogar Abbrennen,- Lärm, Gestank usw.....Also, bei Rasenflächen von um die 400 m² und kleiner, der Vertikutierer der Wahl. Details finden sich in den Rezensionen meiner Kommilitonen, wie stabil, anforderungsgerecht und gut steuerbar, leicht zu reinigen etc.Der Preis in Euro schon ganz heftig aber, da man für Jahre nur einen davon braucht, im Zeitalter der Beutelschneider grade noch verkraftbar.Aus den Kommentaren meiner Vorgänger sollte man jedoch keinesfalls herauslesen, dass der 1,4 m lange der Stiel das Optimum für dieses Gerät darstellt. Für normalwüchsige und wahlberechtigte Bürger ist der 1,7 m messende Stiel wesentlich besser geeignet. Damit kann man z. B. wesentlich ergonomischer den geländeoptimalen Anstellwinkel beim Vertikutieren einhalten uam.Meine Kaufempfehlung!

This De-Thatching rake removes dead grass well, and is a workout! The rows are narrow which means more rows and work required when de-thatching.
