About this deal

The Bosch ALR 900 is one of the best selling lawn rakes in the UK right now, but does it live up to the Bosch reputation for quality and functionality? Well, find out in my review below! The Bosch ALR 900 has a very impressive 50 litre grass box, now this may not sound large, but when compared the Flymo at just 34 litres you will see this is large for a lawn rake of this size. This is another mid-budget electric scarifier and aerator that offers a lot of value, given what it costs.

Let’s start with assembly – something that I never really enjoy doing. This Hyundai needed a little more work than the other models I tested. Assembly took about 30 minutes in total. This isn’t a huge amount of time, but keep in mind that I have a fair bit of experience assembling scarifiers. For someone who has never done this before, it’ll likely take much longer, especially considering that the instruction manual was very little help. So what does it stand up to? When I compare performance I have to say I prefer this over the Netta. Now I appreciate the Netta is a 2 in 1 and offering value in a different way but when strictly comparing the lawn raker / scarifier component I feel this has it edged, and at much less money! Once you’ve worked out which type of lawn scarifier will suit your needs, there are several key features to look out for: The events of Raker's past remain ambiguous. It was established that he was a high ranking Cardinal of the mighty Universal Church of Truth. The Cardinals were more than just religious officials, they acted as a highly skilled strike force for to the Church. While attempting to prevent the collapse of a fissure anomaly in the fabric of reality, the Guardians of the Galaxy destroyed a Templeship belonging to the Church of Truth. The Guardians' act was considered blasphemous by the Matriarch. She summoned Raker and the Cardinals to mete out retribution and penance, and to verify the identity of one of the Guardians members.to gather or collect abundantly (usually fol. by in): He marketed his invention and has been raking in money ever since. The terms lawn raker and lawn scarifier are often used interchangeably. In fact, scarifiers are often advertised as electric lawn rakes as well. Agriculturea long-handled tool used in farming or gardening, having teeth or tines for gathering cut grass, dead leaves, hay, etc., or for smoothing the surface of the ground.

The Cobra S3840V 38cm (15in) Cordless Battery Scarifier & Aerator was a pretty straight forward setup – not too many bits to put together For the price, this raker offers great value for money. Despite not being too expensive, it offers a 32cm working width, making it quite efficient, and a large 50 litre collection box that you won’t find yourself having to empty very often. Changing depths is easy if you feel like you’re taking too much material. Just like the cordless lawn mower range you simply disengage the handle and lift or drop to the next setting: Hyundai’s garden products are often priced higher than the competition, and this lawn scarifier is no exception. It may cost a little more, but, unlike many of the cheaper alternatives out there, this really is a machine that can effectively scarify and aerate – its 2-in-1 claim isn’t just a marketing ploy.However, once assembly was out of the way and I had a good look at the machine, I was instantly impressed. It comes with five height settings, from -12mm to +10mm (most other scarifiers have just three or four), and there’s a single lever to adjust the height. You can adjust the height of the handles too or fold them away to easily store the machine. Being a 2-in-1 model, this product comes with two interchangeable rollers; one for scarification and one for aeration. to bring (something) to light or to another's attention, esp. something that might better be forgotten: [~ +object +up ] to rake a scandal up.

After long hours of intensive scarification on different grass types, lengths, and locations, we’ve compiled a list of the best lawn rakers in the UK market so you can make an informed decision on which unit suits your preferences best. Lawn Raker Vs Scarifier Vs Aerator The Bosch ALR 900 is equipped with one 32cm drum with 10 double-wound metal tines that gives them two very effective benefits… A 35 litre, easily detachable collection bag should keep you from having to stop and empty too often and the 10 metre cable is more than enough for most average gardens.

Basically, the deeper your thatch buildup, the deeper you will want your scarifier to penetrate. Having depths from -10 (below the surface) to +10mm (above the surface) is fairly typical on electric or petrol scarifiers. However, where this machine falls short is with its aerating function. Unlike the other aerators I’ve used, this one doesn’t seem to actually aerate. Instead, the aerator roller does pretty much the same thing as the scarifier, except it’s much more severe. Remember all of that healthy grass I just mentioned that the scarifier left intact? Well, the aerator pretty much destroyed it all.

Powered scarifiers. Available as either corded, where you’ll need a power supply, or cordless, these have knife blades attached to their cylinders rather than tines, making them effective at removing moss and thatch. Used on the lowest setting, they create slits in the turf, which helps aerate it. Although the fact that the machine tips over instead of standing upright could be considered a safety issue, AL-KO has taken other steps t

Word History

This lawn rake and scarifier is advertised as a 3-in-1 model, but this is really just some clever marketing. It has two main functions; scarifying and aerating. As mentioned, it scarifies well, and it’s also very easy to swap the scarifying drum over for the aerator. However, I wouldn’t bother doing this again because the aerating roller isn’t very effective. It works in pretty much the same way as the scarifier and doesn’t really aerate the ground. Take your replacement kit (you can get these from a hardware store, your lawn raker manufacturer, or online) and insert the new tines carefully into their holders. Incidentally, the best for weeds and roots are the Makita and the Bosch. So following on from that you probably want to understand how deep it can rake and scarify so you can workout what tool you’ll need for your garden specifically: How deep can it scarify?
