Will this model pull crabgrass? I have a lot of it in my St. Augustine grass.

If the patch isn't too large sure. If it's a giant clump of crab grass it will probably come out in chunks.

Yes, it works on crabgrass. I love this gadget. I ordered two - one for my son. We had fun pulling weeds one afternoon :-)

Hi! I don't know the specific answer to this question, because I don't know what kind of root system crabgrass has. The Fiskars weeder works wonderfully on single-root weeds, so if crabgrass has just one central root, this should work for you. Hope that helps! :)

I do not know. I do know it will kill St. Augustine Grass here in Florida. It also controls torpedo grass in my junipers. I lift up the juniper runners and spray directly on the torpedo grass/ Sorry I could not be of more help.

I pull it all over my lawn with heavy bags of compost and potting soil on it. It works great!

I feel sure it will. I used it on St. Augustine that has a much bigger blade, etc. Just getting me some Zoysia started. There is a web site that sells Zoysia and they advertise this tool for Zoysia on their web site. I LOVE mine and it makes the job so easy.

It cuts well everything I came across in my lawn in SE USA, including crab grass...UNLESS it gets too tall. If it gets too tall the steel blades don't catch all the grass blades...cutting 60% maybe. So you have to make another pass &/or do this trick: in one motion push to get the blades spinning as you tilt one wheel up from the ground (to attain height) and push over the offender...it works every time. But doing a whole lawn like this would be tedious... Just cut the grass b/f it gets too high and you'll enjoy using this much more than a gas powered mower. I certainly enjoy using it. When I let the grass/weeds get too high...it takes more passes, etc., but then I just take a deep breath and remind myself that it's just a little exercise. I regularly let it get too high and it manage to cut it down.

probably yes. if there is not to much of it just pull it out by hand. I only put it on the grass.

Yes, I have a quarter of an acre of St.Augustine grass in south Florida and it works fine. Dense patches and wet grass will slow it down but it manages to power through with some effort on your part. The two batteries typically last for the entire job. It is important ro keep the blade sharp over time to ensure you are getting the most out of the battery life.

You might want to try Preen's Lawn Step Saver weed control product. It smokes the crabgrass and many other weeds as well - all with ONE simple application. I have had much success with it. Sold on Amazon too - ASIN: B0094KRFO6. 18 lb bag, covers 5000 square feet of lawn.

You know, I am not sure what St. Augustine grass looks like, but it really works well on medium and low height grass. Not so much on anything tall.

We use ours to cut Bermuda Grass which it does fine. My wife who is the turf expert thinks it would cut St. Augustine if you did it on a regular basis, and didn't let it grow tall and out of control. It works well for a small area.

It dethatches whatever you run it through, grass of any type. It might have a tendency of ripping crabgrass more because of the crabgrass runners but I wouldn't count on it removing it all.

I own the ST275 and I cut grass and weeds up to 16" tall with no problem. I have not cut St. Augustine grass though.

My question exactly, my husband likes to keep the St. Augustine LONG, but I can't stand the noise, the mess, etc.......can anyone else weigh in about the issues of St. Augustine and a push/reel mower. I couldn't tell from AMERGIN's post......do you mean you mowed 2-3x PER WEEK? Of course that would be in Florida, we are here in central Texas, no rain in sight.......so i bet it doesn't grow as fast as in Florida. Please let me know what other info you get, thanks.

No. According to the manufacturer, this cannot be used on St. Augustine.( see here: http://www.bayeradvanced.com/lawn-care/products/all-in-one-lawn-weed-crabgrass-killer ; disclaim er on Pg. 3 of product label )

yes. my mower has a grass catcher. beware though, although its works great, the part that drags on the ground wears out really quick, I made a platform thats drags on the ground instead of the bag itself...also, I got 3/4 acre and lots of big oaks.

I haven't tried it, but I think the brushes are stiff enough to pick them up. Probably not in deep grass, but otherwise I believe it would.

Sorry I don't have the answers. I live in a very sandy area and have been pleased with the 3 claw model for pulling sandburs and crabgrass. As the soil is extremely sandy it works great, heavy soil may be a different story.
