Getting an early start on lawn care in the spring is key to getting that lush, healthy summer lawn we all want! If you've noticed some dead grass, or your fertilizing routine isn't as effective as you expected, it could be because of a build-up of thatch. A thick layer of thatch in your yard prevents rain, oxygen, and other nutrients from getting into the soil and feeding your grass. Dethatching can make a big difference! It's tedious and requires a lot of racking, but it's worth it!

Hey mate, thanks for the video. A great tip : use a 48" leaf sweeper and it'll save you hours of hard work collecting the thatch. Keep it up. Cheers from New Zealand 🙂 Hamish

@swimbait1 Год назад

I just bought one today and slow to assemble but it worked really well. I was impressed! I removed a ton of dead material from the lawn and it really looks so much better. The Agro- fab definitely works.

@a.l.l.firewood8883 4 года назад

Now you need to test out a lawn sweeper LOL

@Gunshinzero 3 года назад

I'm about to buy them together, myself.

@adanvaldcontreras4283 4 года назад

Got one this year... and it works good.. 👍

@TheDurbinCompound 4 года назад

Yeah I’m pretty impressed by it. It definitely pulled up a lot of dead grass.

@alwaysup2late 4 года назад

I'm 100% certain I need to do this now, after seeing normal yard and then how much stuff is hidden there. Wild stuff! I imagine mine will be heavy too

@TheDurbinCompound 4 года назад

Yeah its pretty ridiculous how much stuff was pulled out!

@randyhavener8368 Год назад

My Agri-fab worked well but the lightweight construction is more for residential instead of commercial usage. I am over 65 working solo but found that my Stihl leaf blower worked great on cleanly corraling the thatch to a furrow to be picked up via rake & placed in my Agri-fab lawn cart with the dump bed to be taken to my compost.

@MrWindsorII 3 года назад

Man, THANK YOU for this video. I always feel crazy pulling attachments with my zero turn. I don’t know why. Seeing someone else doing it makes me feel a hell off a lot better about it. Great job!

@TheDurbinCompound 3 года назад

I have hitched up some straight up dumb things to my zero turn. A landscape trailer with 1000lb of retaining wall stone in it. I don’t take it easy on it.

@patrickdougherty3342 3 года назад

My dad made me weld a trailer hitch to the back of my cub cadet zero turn so he could tote a cherry picker around the back of his house instead of using his truck 🙄 he did wheelies the whole time but she held up well

@scottterry4590 3 года назад

Great job 👏

Get you a pull behind lawn Sweeper they work great

@Idahoshepherds83440 2 года назад

Very helpful video. I just ordered a dethatcher because I'm lazy. Lol

@whateva_man 4 года назад

My yard needs work and this is something that needs to be done. Good video, thanks for sharing!

@TheDurbinCompound 4 года назад

Many more to come like this. It’s the season bro

@cycleguy666 4 года назад

A bagger makes all the difference.....mow short....dethatch with the bagger as a clean up tool. Just got me dethatcher and aerator. The bagger makes the straw clean up easy. Now looking for another bagger for my bigger tractor!! Keep on mowing brother!!

@TheDurbinCompound 4 года назад

I like the sound of easy cleanup! Does the bagger attach you the dethatcher? Do you have a link! I’m interested

@cycleguy666 4 года назад

@@TheDurbinCompound bagger goes on the tractor....... for grass clippings and the dethatch. I picked up a used one for 70 bucks. New ones are expensive!! Been looking at new ones on Ebay and Amazon too. Good luck to ya!! Keep on mowing!! PS.....baggers are available for zero turns too but are expensive but with a large lawn are worth it!! Enjoy!!

@TheDurbinCompound 4 года назад

cycleguy666 good to know!

@gdara1 4 года назад

Nice one and thanks for posting. Quick question, why not remove the dethatcher And use the lawnmower to rake making big circles from edge to centre of the lawn and then manually raking and bagging only a small circle instead of doing it all manually?

@bruceboone1232 4 года назад

Get a Cyclone Rake, it makes cleaning up so much easier.

@pinseekergaming4760 3 года назад

Yea and a sweeper

@James_Hough 4 года назад

I need to get one of these. But I already have a 50 inch lawn sweeper, so the hard part won’t be.

@kenboxx265 3 года назад

I do the same but i run back over it a couple times and mulch it and then bag whats left.

@faithtalktoday4474 3 года назад

It appears to be a lot of work when taking the time to rake up the dead grass. I attach and use a rear bagger to suck the debris. Thanks for the video.

@myrtonriggs1934 4 года назад

Can you make it two across so you could do 80" in one pass

@pssita 3 года назад

Do you bag as you cut your lawn? Would bagging help this?

@PrincernPrince Год назад

I would bag instead of rake it works well

@MrZipperhead16 3 года назад

Make sure the ground is DRY when you do this and the grass is SHORT. Unless your a big fan of raking, use a sweeper or better yet a bagger. Your lawn and back will thank you for it.

@hoosier8729 2 года назад

Stihl backblower br 700 does wonders in this situation , blow it all into a pile and cart it away.

@cyber8872 3 года назад

What's with the raking.... get yourself a bagger on the mower and it will suck all the that up. I have a similar de-thatcher behind by tractor. After ,I just suck it all up with the bagger. Looks fantastic when I am done.

@billydurbin7053 Год назад

Nice name

@TheDurbinCompound Год назад

Same to you!

@virginiahardy8012 3 года назад

I’m thinking about buying one of these. I have a problem cutting wet grass leaving green compacted goo. Will this work to remove it when it drys to keep from killing the good grass that stuff covers up? I also have wire grass that I think will get the trip hazards up when running in the yard.

@TheDurbinCompound 3 года назад

I think this will probably work for your situation.

@Blougheed 4 года назад

great video! next time mow you lawn short and you will get much better results without pullout out as much good grass!

@TheDurbinCompound 4 года назад

I will have to try that! Thanks!

@RedSunofNW 2 года назад

Why don't you use tow behind lawn sweeper in place of raking?

@p71collector 4 года назад

Would a lawn sweeper work OK after dethatching? I have a large lawn that I don't want to hand rake and I do have a 42" agri fab sweeper.

@shannonp4037 4 года назад

I've head it will. I'm about to do this soon too. With a 48" agri-fab and a lawn sweeper that is really old, but works.

@dannyd5697 4 года назад

I would think that it would. How do ya like your lawn sweeper? I was wondering if it also picked up small sticks, pine needles, and things of that nature.

@jeffm6029 4 года назад

Yes, lawn sweeper is great for this. I did it last week.

@jt7559 4 года назад

Yup! 100%!!! I just bought the agri-fab 44" sweeper with front de-Thatcher. Holy smokes!! You won't believe how much that sweeper will help. I have a massive yard as well. You will love your sweeper for this!

@DNV75 2 года назад

OOH RAH!

@TheDurbinCompound 2 года назад

Kill kill

@jeffmoberg9385 3 года назад

why would you not use a bagger?

@JonBecker81 4 года назад

Looks like a job you need a bagger for.

@TheDurbinCompound 4 года назад

Yeah that would be nice!

@AEB-tb3om 3 года назад

Great video. On the Agri-fab reviews though, I have seen multiple reviewers state that the hitch on their zero turn is too high for this, are they making a mistake in assembly or could this be a different model? Perhaps your hitch is the same height as "regular" riding mowers and a typical zero turn's is higher?

@TheDurbinCompound 3 года назад

I’m not sure about assembly. I don’t feel like you can mess that up in this one. I haven’t really look at other zero turns to see what they look like and how high the hitch is
