In this video, we're testing out the Sun Joe Electric Scarifier and Dethatcher.
So let's get started.
Inside the box, we have the thatch bag,
the housing unit with the scarifying cylinder attached to it.
And the raking cylinder.
We're going to quickly assemble the machine by attaching all the handlebars.
And if you are new to my channel do consider
subscribing I try my best to bring out videos every week.
And pop in the thatch bag.
There's a five-position lever to adjust the raking depth that you need.
Note that the 5 and the 10 millimeter should be used for raking not for scarifying
and the minus 5 and minus 10 should be used for scarifying and not for raking.
The scarifying cylinder comes with 20 slicing blades.
So right now we're going to switch the scarifier over to the dethatcher which is really easy to do.
It just has two bolts.
Slide out the scarifier and let's put in the dethatcher.
And the dethatcher has 27 spring steel raking tines that are 1.6 millimeters thick.
There's an extension cord holder as well to secure the wire in case you tug on it and pull it off.
Okay so using the dethatcher we have the lever on the 10 millimeter position
for raking and you can see just how bad our lawn is.
There's a lot of bald spots in there and we're hoping that the needles will aerate the lawn and
clear up all the dead grass that's in there and then we're going to put down some new grass seeds
and hopefully, this should fix our lawn.
And our grass did have a lot of moss and also have a lot of weeds in there, especially this
patch here which is just covered in weeds. So we're hoping that we can just pull out
all these weeds and get some new seeds in there and hopefully get some fresh grass growing there.
Okay, so this was the first run that we did and
we're just gonna rake all of this up and show you just how much dead grass came out of there.
And here is the first bag.
Okay let's get the other half of the garden done.
And here is the second bag.
And then one more pass over everything again and this is the third bag.
So overall we had about three full bags which was about, what, 22 gallons.
Plus all the stuff that was raked up.
You can see just how much dead grass came out of there and now we're hoping
that we'll be able to put some new seeds down and see how we can get on with our new lawn.
And here is a picture that I took one week later after we put the new seeds down.
So fingers crossed this should work.
But overall we're pretty impressed with this dethatcher and the scarifying.
We haven't used the scarifier just yet because our lawn is not thick to begin with.
So we didn't really need to use it.
Soon, hopefully once we get our lawn nice and thick maybe we'll get a chance to use it.
