Could this be used to dethatch a lawn. I currently have a standard 40" wheel thatcher but want to use a drag harrow for better combing.

It could work, but I think it would be very destructive to your lawn. I would stick with what you have.

No, this is just a string trimmer, no additional attachments. If you want to change the angle, you have to push down or up on the handle and move the entire machine. I will say that it does a great job though. I use it in my pasture and it whacks down the tall weeds and brush very easily. I don't use it around my house because it uses such large size string and is so powerful, I would be afraid of damage. I use the regular shaft trimmer for that.

my dethatcher came with a 25 ft cord heavy duty but, I also use any heavy duty outdoor ext cord that I use for all my outdoor snow joes or lawn machine - I do not use the bag as it fills-up too fast=so I just go back over with the lawn mower - great job!

I suppose you could. Use the hose instead of rigid wand. Just keep in mind the wheels are small and only meant for smooth surfaces so dragging it around your yard could be challenging.

well you would get it done faster with this rake. I use it on a 150+ Saint Bernard and LOVE IT. Best rake I have ever owned. I think they make a smaller one but these aren't huge to begin with.edit - I checked this is the only size they make. it is great and easy to clean - I would get it.

I have had my shopvac for a few years now and really like it. I actually have two different ones and the ShopVac model is by far the better unit. I think it would be fine to vacuum your yard with this. I guess the turf is glued down and this will not pull that up. If the turf is loose, just don't put the nozzle right on the grass.

Works very well on my carpet. You use it like you would use a rake. My carpet has a thick pile and doesn't get dirty but the pile can get pressed down from walking on it. Using the rake means less vacuuming for me. It would work well to pick up pet hair but I have no pets.

The drag is roughly 5'x 4' teeth can be faced forward or backward or turned over to be used to drag flat. I use this to drag the horse manure in my fields using atv. this will do the job for the small man using that has a few acres. love it

I use the lift for a regular John Deere deck mower. However I did remove and sharpen blades on a zero turn (sorry I do not remember the brand) that a friend of mine owned and it worked great. It was a fairly large professional model. He drove the front swivel wheels right upon the lift arms with no problem.

Well, honestly it depends on the thickness of your grass. It seems to go rather well even at a thicker grass, but you usually would have to adjust the level of the wheels bagger or no bagger etc. This machine does not have a self propelled mechanism, but it starts pretty easily every time. It cuts good, too!

I think for light chores should be ok, the one I used on was St Augustine grass, front lawn and side lawn, a corner lot house, the machine was easy to move around, not heavy duty but did the work, but the tines worn out too fast. If you return the machine, postage would be around $40.00 if I remember correctly, because the box was big and heavy. Maybe to spray or brush with some killer or hot water or steam may help with the situation?

I have run mine over such areas, and I have found that it will not grind up the weeds so much as pull them out. I am fine with this as I just gab the wad of weeds and toss it. I you want it to mush and grind them into the soil, I don't think you will be happy with this tiller.

I don't have it in the garage to measure but I want to say they are about 1 1/2 inches long. I would also suggest getting an extra pack of the tines. I used mine on St Augustine (south florida grass) and I was really happy with the result. You can adjust the thatcher height without to minimize scalping. St Augustine grows back very quickly so the small spots that were scalped slightly were not noticeable after a few weeks at most. It does a great job and for that type of grass, I was amazed at how much dead thatch it was able to get. I did a cross thatch (2x in different directions) and then mowed up it afterwards with the bagger on the mower. It's very light and easy to manage. I didn't have to fight it at all. Highly recommend purchasing one if you think you have a thatch issue.

I used it all last year to pull weeds in my flower beds and garden from a seated position. I usually have my dandelion digger right with me in the tray and the seat in the lowest position. I love my tractor and think it is one of the best garden tools I have ever purchased. The 5 gallon bucket fits perfectly and it is easily moved about while you are seated on it, you just scoot along.

R MurphyI don't have an answer on that one. We have flat sidewalks here next to the grass and the Mclane works great.Sounds like a rotating head string trimmer might be your answer. Check out the lithum powered Stihl, pricey but excellent. Good luckPatLoomis Ca

I think it works great for that... Better than a feather duster or swiffer duster... A little swipe and it sucks it right up... I use this on my little root 6 (the dyson handheld) and love it. Fast and easy and effective.

Pull behind, meaning one that attaches to a rider? I can't say, I don't have a rider. It does however, work better than a manual type dethatcher. It does a good job on my small to medium lawn, you want to do this in the early spring or in the fall.
