The timing is impeccable, I’m in the car waiting for the misses to get her brows done 😍
Sounds exciting mate haha
I think this would be a bit too dangerous to use on eyebrows.
😂😂
I have had the ryobi unit for a couple of years. It does a fantastic job and super light weight. I struggle with heavy equipment these days due to chemo, so the light weight is a god send. Time spent on my lawn is so therapeutic.
Hi Ben I run stihl scraifiers.. I find it helps to lift the exit flap up a little with a bungee cord or a little bit of strimmer cable.. then it wont bog down as much
I have Buff and bought a mains powered Draper unit from Total Tools for $250 bucks. Comes with the grooming/dethatching reel. Switched the scarifier attachment over for that reel and it pretty much got rid of all the thatch while keeping the runners intact.
100% the way to go for dethatching Buffalo safely.
lol in Cananda i just did a fall dethatch, top dress, over seed, and fert, getting ready for it to go dormant over the winter, love to see the opposite
I literally just did the same thing to my lawn this past weekend. Put some grass seed and starter fert down afterwards.
I literally just bought this for my front and back garden. It worked great. I found walking extremely slow without the catcher really helped with the cutting out issue. Great product imo
I think your a shill..
I just got a predator domestic scarifyer for my birthday. It is obviously a petrol one. Does an awesome job but still clogs up inside, so I put a strap holding the catcher up.
Comes with the two reels aswell which is so convenient
You should try pinning the back hatch open on the de thatcher so the thatch is coming out the back. The machine will be able to keep up better.
I have the other brand, not sure if I'm allowed to mention (rhymes with Kenobi) 36V and it has never bogged down like that on the lowest setting, albeit I'm scarifying couch. It drags me forward! Great vid again!
Of course you can talk about it 😂
@@LawnTips Legend. I have a gripe though; you need to bring back that royalty free music soundtrack where it's like 🎵"something something be responsible" 🎵 That was a banger from the early days! 😂
My Ryobi one is awesome too and does what you said too, drags me forward 😂
Same here. The little Ryobi is a weapon. Surprises everyone who uses it.
Another ryobi user over here.
Really wish EGO comes out with it as well cause I’m already on that infrastructure!
*waiting waiting*
So am I, and I'm on the fence about buying a scarifier but want an ego one!
So glad I brought a draper.
Those UE custom moulds scream church musician 😂❤️
You got me 😂
😂💯
Brilliant machine. I have one for my gardening business.
Last Aussie 😁. Ben , a great hands on review. 🤠
Great video mate. I’ve bought a property in WA and it’s got QLD blue couch out the front. It hasn’t been renovated at all and I reckon this lawn has been here for 10+ years. I’ve bought an Ozito 36v scarifier and did a test patch and it works a treat. Now my question is, how low/hard should I scalp for my renno? It’s got a decent thatch layer and I’m wondering if it can handle a complete scalp right down to dirt, or should I do a medium renno and then another renno in a couple months time.
I have a Husqvarna device with 2 Batteries which is better.😁
Just wondering if you could do a review on the new Stihl battery sprayer. It's very expensive, i would be interested in your thoughts on the unit before making a purchase on one.
Waiting for a battery powered corer…
Check out the in-ears. What a boss
Great vid dude! How does this compare to other battery units? Also, would you go something like this, or a predator petrol scarifier? Weighing up which way to go before my Reno in the coming weeks
I have question, we have just had a landscaper in who had laid topsoil over weedmatt then seeded. The topsoil looks like it’s only a inch or 2 in some places. Will the lawn suffer from this and will it need topdressing to add more soil to rooting?
Can the renovation process be done over 3 weeks??
Just with work, availability of equipment and things im not going to be able to get it done,
The coring machine I have a 3 hour return trip to go and pick it up
Isn't the spring tines cartridge purely just a power rake and only clears debris up and does not dethatch?
I’m in Victoria. My lawn still hasn’t started to grow again yet. Should I wait until activity growth before using this
Ben, what's the price range of the Stihl?
What ear buds are you running there and would you recommend them for a contractor? Do they cancel enough noise?
Hey mate. They are Ultimate Ears. Intended for musicians in loud settings to stop sound bleeding in. Block out so much more than my AirPods.
If you are interested in something similar, I got them from acustoms.com.au
@@LawnTipsholy shit mate, have to refinance the house just to get a pair 🤣
@@TheeTurtzzzI just looked them up and almost spit my coffee all over the truck.
@@TheeTurtzzzthere is lower end options on there haha 😂
All moulded to your ear though. Pretty crazy!
Hi Ben do you not sell the growth mats anymore?
has the winter been longer than other winters?
looks shiny
Is there a max temperature that you would not do this sort of work ie. scarifying?
Hi mate,
Are you saying not to use that on Buffalo?
Would scarifying SWB at the highest setting work?
Mate how tf is your Kik that green already?? I'm in Bathurst and mine is only just starting to show tinges of green around the house where it's a bit insulated.. We've had sub zero mornings 3 of the past 5 days (neg 4 a week or so ago), I thought Orange would be worse..
Stihl busy sending our their scarifers I see.
Someone else did a vid on one?
@@LawnTips haha, yeah I came to this video directly after Turf and Tools
There you go haha. I’m not sure they are sending them around as a marketing thing. Wasn’t like that with me anyway. It was just through Hutcheon and Pearce. They guys who supply my mowers and construction gear
Schnitty!
Didn't you scalp, scarify and top dress this lawn about 4 weeks ago? How are you still getting that much thatch out of it?
Nah was just a scalp 👌🏽
No worries cheers mate@@LawnTips
