This is so useful thank you. There is too much confusion over scarifying which is often annual or bi annual and renovation based and verticutting which if done regularly will avoid the need for scarifying and maintain lawn health and looks throughtout the season. Well done
@@BackyardBushveld looking forward. We doing renovations on the new house once we done I will let you know when I start the big reno on my front lawn. I'm thinking a cool season grass as there is a fair bit of shade
I must say, but what you’ll use first and most often. For me it’s the blade-type grooming reel and the verticut. If your thatch is mostly in order then you only need to maintain. The scarifiers are for problems and really dense thatch situations
I’ve been trying to purchase a verticutter but cannot find a machine in the United States. Only a cartridge for Allett brand mowers but I don’t own that mower. Anyone know where I can procure a verticutter machine?
I think that Protea machines has moved into Canada but I’m not sure if the US yet. Might be worth finding that distributor and see what’s possible. I’ll try get their contact details as well
I planned to get the vids done much sooner but haven’t come up with the budget to do it yet. Hopefully soon. The Aussies Lawn has a unit with the scarifier blade so you can also check out his content
Hi Travis, I’m new to the channel. Just had a look through your playlist & can’t wait to watch more. Just a quick question mate - do you have a video of the pin-type scarifier reel in action or can point me in the direction of someone who has a video? Cheers Darren
Howzit, and thanks for watching! I planned to purchase all the attachments but haven’t come up with the moola yet. So in future, I will have videos made on each of the different reels for the SVG500. The pin-type is usually used on cricket pitches and bowling greens for specific tasks. It can be incredibly aggressive as well as super gentle if it’s used to just tease the surface of very fine turf. I’m talking sub 6mm. For most residential applications, you pretty much never need more than the scarifier, verticut or grooming reels. The grooming reel will be used most often, and the other two less often and for certain applications. I must say, I don’t know anyone who’s tested the pin-type on RUclips before but I’ll chat to Protea and see if they have some content I could use.
Good video. I see too many videos with the wrong information. This is the correct explanation.
Thanks bud. Reminds me that I need to do part 2 !
Great video Travis. You have done a fantastic job in providing some much-needed clarity on the various Reel options out there.
Thanks Sean!

If you could only choose one which would it be?
Probably the groomer because you’d use it the most. Very close second would be verticut
@@BackyardBushveld for Bermuda lawn would verti cutting every 8 weeks be too much for it to repair itself?
Not during the growing season.
