RCO front-mount dethatchers are available in 36, 46 or 60-inch widths for commercial walk-behind or riding mowers.

The Tine Rake Dethatcher is the ultimate spring clean-up tool. Use the rake for the first mowing of the spring to remove thatch, embedded leaves and debris. The patented tines lift thatch without damaging healthy turfgrass and at the same time comb matted grass giving the lawn a clean, hand-raked appearance.

After a hot summer, use Tine Rake Dethatcher to surface aerate the soil. This promotes root development and makes room for thicker turfgrass. Use the dethatcher during seeding operations to rake in seed and accelerate germination. Finally, use Tine Rake Dethatcher for the last mowing of the fall leaving a picture-perfect, clean lawn.

Whether you mulch or bag, the Tine Rake Dethatcher can be used throughout the growing season as a tool to control thatch accumulation and reduce the chance of turf disease.

Each of the three caster assemblies has two floating cast iron tine rotor heads. The casters swivel, allowing turning while aerating. The six floating rotor heads independently lift over tree roots and rocks while the other heads continue to aerate.

The 38-inch wide Hooker Aerator punctures up to six holes per square foot. Holes are approximately ½" wide by 1¼" long and up to 3" deep. Tines pierce deep into the soil, hooking and lifting loose plugs of dirt that disperse quickly, spreading nutrients over the surface. No unsightly hard plugs accumulate on the lawn. The lifting action of the tines prevents soil compaction that is common with hollow tine aerators and allows good filtration of air and water into the lawn.
