I cannot find a verticutter anywhere online or in stores in America. All I see are cartridges for Allett and Swardman but I don’t own those lawnmower brands. Any ideas for things I could search for to find a unit?
Hi. With Scarifier you can only remove thatch above the soil. The scarifier blades can be loose or slightly tilted. The Verticutter blades are fixed in order to cut into the soil. They are straight. With Verticutter you can scarify above soil or cut deeper to aerate soil. Hope it helps
@@rudolfthegardener6105 Thank you sir, I wasn't sure if you had purchased it from Trident - they seem to be one of the only reel builders from AU serving the States 🙏
Hi Justin. I think the verticutter reel. You can scarify and verticut. The verticutter will groom as well you just have to make more passas. For the groomer to be affective you need a fine grass and you need to cut under 10mm
Your Yard is looking really Neat, loads of character " I enjoyed your video and keep up the good work " Thanks Rudolf
Thank you James
Hi Rudi. Very informative video, thank you. How often should you verticut and groom kikuyu grass lawn in JHB during summer?

Good day. Yes the verticutter reel was custom build for me. What make is your mower

@@rudolfthegardener6105 I have a Rolux X20 which I think is the same as COX and would be interested in finding a verticutter reel in the US.
@@iamnachodaddy yes it is the same mower. My hybrid is actually a Rolux
Hey Rudolf really good informative video, is a scarifier the same as a verticutter?

Hi Rudolf. I have a chieftan cylinder mower. Do know where I can get a verticutter unit replacement?
Basically just taking the cylinder blades and replacement it with the verticutter or groomer blades
No sorry I don’t know
That lawn is looking amazing. Is it all kikuyu?
Thank you Motheo. Its a mix between kikuyu that prefer sun and LM Berea that prefer shade
Hi Rudi, can I ask where you got your groomer reel for your hybrid professional mower build?
Hi. I bought it from Protea Turf. They are situated at Germiston

Perfect thanks, need to make a decision on my grandfathers sb40 rebuild appreciate it!
What can you use in place of a verticutter to cut runners?
Hi Gregory. Only a Verticutter can cut grass vertically
@@rudolfthegardener6105 do you think a trimmer could do it?
Nope
I enjoyed your video.
