Upgraded from the standard dethatcher to the HD unit after purchasing a larger tractor and it was well worth it. Pulled up a ton of thatch I was having trouble getting out of the yard and made short work of a long gravel driveway.
My only complaint is it was a pain to put together. I would pay extra to have the tines assembled before delivery. otherwise it works great.
The thatcher works great! Built strong and simple.
High quality built dethatcher. Much much better than tow behind!
