The trash can liners in the grass catcher on the JD is a great idea. I bag a lot of grass when I have the time, put it in my compost pile and sell it back to my customers the next summer for use in a veg garden.

@nobrakes7567 2 года назад

This is beautiful! I’ve become absolutely obsessed with grass I’m trying to master the “perfect lawn”. Nice job young man

@wachit100 4 года назад

Great video - to the point and informative. I de-thatch at the beginning of the season, that was I pick up al the debris that mother nature put on the lawn too. I have an Agri fab Lawnsweeper, with a de-thatcher attached to the front of it, it throws the thatch into the hopper, and i pull the handle to dump on my mulch pile (a huge time saver on my big yard). With 2 acres to take care of I'd go broke buying bags, lol. Keep doing what you're doing, it obviously keeps you smiling. Stay well

@make7966 3 года назад

Nice job. This is exactly what I was thinking about doing this year. Thank you for showing just how much easier it is to let the de-thatcher and riding mower do the work. Before I used a hand de-thatcher and it wore me out. Now to purchase one of those de-thatchers.

@Julian-do7bv 3 года назад

@doyrayburn2668 2 года назад

That is the right way to do it. As long as your rake isnt digging in too deep, just keep going till the thatch is pretty much all gone.

@starpartyguy5605 3 года назад

I bought a new house outside of Columbia, Pa. in '17. Lawn was a mess. And then the grubs killed half the lawn and I had tons of dead grass everywhere. Used the Agrofab drag rake. Bagged up 15 bags of dead grass. But I found that pavers 2-3 are the better choice. Cinderblock seemed too heavy and was pulling up good grass too.

@christopherandies 4 года назад

Thank you for making this video. I am going to use your method. Take care!

@jamesbowden4871 3 года назад

I bought the same Brinly-Hardy dethatcher to tow behind my Husqvarna tractor, and it works really well. You don't understand how much thatch lies underneath smothering your lawn until you run the dethatcher over it. But for the next step, I use my lawnsweeper. From what I've seen here on RU-vid, the lawnsweepers seem to be more popular in Canada than in the US.

@Gigmaster 3 года назад

@mikehutchins7963 4 года назад

@JOEZEP54 4 года назад

@Hawkins1 5 лет назад

WHy do you take steps to make your lawn look nice (ie. dethatching) but then lay down the KY 31 grass seed? KY31 is not a good lawn seed -- it's for pastures, large areas, etc. Should be looking at a Tall Fescue or something similar. Just a thought for you.

@replysoon3216 3 года назад

I use mine to help with storm cleanups. I still pick up large limbs with chainsaws and dump trailers, but all the sticks and piles of leaves I just drag them into a giant pile with my tow behind dethatcher.

@LoneWolf-yp2mo 3 года назад

I just bought one today for that exact reason !! Bought it from a yard sale at a steal !! Still like new. We had a storm come through here a couple weeks ago and left a TON of small twigs all over the yard. I was hoping the de-thatcher would do the trick. Hearing you say it works did my heart good !! My yard is to big and I'm to old to "man up" with that stinkin' RAKE !! LOL !! Thanks !!

@great0789 4 года назад

I can't help but think about throwing down some heavy fertilizer in the garden... and then throwing that dead grass on top for the Winter. Talk about a good veggie patch in a few years! Thanks for sharing. I am just planting out my 1acre yard/mud hole at the new house. Just put down tall fescue and plan to cut @ 3.75" (Highest setting my mower will do). Been looking at that style of de-thatcher. I now look forward to harvesting all the thatch from the yard once every few years! Endless free topsoil/compost AND a good looking yard!!!

@myocdgarden9705 3 года назад

Just got one similar to yours. But I didn't get it for the lawn, I'm more concerned with areas I'm using a small backhoe to reclaim the yard from brush, vines and small trees. There is so much leaf, branches and pine needles left behind and I don't want to hand take a 1/4 acre. What I'm looking for is an easy way to clear the de-thatcher from vines, branches, leaves and pine needles, without having to get on my knees and hand pull it out after each pass.

@rockhunter6260 3 года назад

@rainysunday6186 3 года назад

You could save yourself a lot of time because you can tell from the grass that you don’t use a mulching blade on your mower. I have a rich lawn just from using a mulching blade.

@georgesimpson3113 5 лет назад

Don't put the plastic bags in the bager. you need to let the air out, that is why the mower bags have holes, for the air to get out but to trap the grass. also if you make a compost pile and compost all that grass you will get even more green out of it.

@JM-yx1lm 5 лет назад

But you do see that them bags are full and common sense will tell you ITS WORKING JUST FINE.

@Kiddro22 5 лет назад

If you have a mulching mower you have to be on it depending how fast your grass grows. Its best to only take a 1/3 off the top if you're going to mulch it back into the grass. That small amount that's clipped off and mulched will decompose back into the dirt. Anything clipped off over atleast 1/3 most likely wont decompose as much back into the dirt and will sit down at the base of the grass on top of the dirt. This is what is as described as "Thatch".

Tragic LOL 😂 His garden would welcome the resulting compost every time or even as a free mulch . And you can save money, labor and time without polluting so much. Win, win... all the way. I really don't understand how people can be so blind, about something so obvious!

@bashkillszombies 4 года назад

True i use a Field Tuff 60" V-style Acreage Rake, that comes behind my detacher, on another Garden Tractor. hooked up to 2 to with modifications. I pull 2 detachers ripping up the under growth. Then the rake comes behind me rakes it into a windrow pile then my older 110 jD comes with a sweeper and sweaps it up.

@johnb5015 4 года назад
