No fit

Date:May 12, 2011

"Seems to work well for others, but wouldn't fit my mower, even though this universal blade is supposed to fit Craftsman mowers.

While attaching the springs to the blade, one spring wouldn't properly align with the bolt hole. That spring also did not extend down the same length as the other.

I had no problems returning it, and bought the 6 in 1 universal blade, which also didn't fit my mower. Likewise for the return on that one . Maybe I should just get a goat to do my lawn, but I doubt it can fit a universal blade to my mower either."

Works Excellent

Date:May 1, 2011

"I first purchased a similar product for W**mart because it was cheaper and it was junk, the springs wouldn't stay on.

This piece is a much better design and does an awesome job. Like other reviewers have stated I also had to file the slots to make it fit my mower. Other than that it was very easy to install.

I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy and cost effective way to de-thatch their lawn."

Works as advertised

Date:April 16, 2011

"Let me start with this: I would definitely recommend this product.

I am always skeptical of the claims made in advertising, and particularly when the product is a 'universal' one like this. I have a 10 year old Sears Craftsman 21" 6.5 hp mower and I needed to de-thatch a lawn that is about 50 x 60 ft (3000 sq ft). The idea of doing that by hand was daunting, so I decided to see if I could get a de-thatching attachment for my mower.

This product was one of only a few that came up when I was searching, and the price was pretty low, so I decided to pick one up and give it a shot. Even if it didn't work I'd only be out $12.

The product assembles easily, with only two bolts to attach the spring tines to the blade. I had to file the drive slots in the blade very slightly to fit the center-to-centre spacing of the drive studs on the shaft adapter on my mower. The kit comes with a couple of centering adapters, neither of which I used, and it also comes with a couple of heavy washers to put under the head of the blade bolt. and I used one of those.

The mower had no problem operating the tool, although I had to slow down a bit in heavier grass. A smaller mower might stall under some conditions.

The tool does a good job of stripping the lawn and it will scarify the lawn if you set it low enough, or if you hit any humps. The resulting grass is left behind and you need to hand rake and bag it. I have not yet tried the rear bagging attachment on my mower with the de-thatcher, but I still have half a lawn to finish, so I'll try it there.

It took me about 2 hours to de-thatch and rake up the waste on 1500 sq ft, and most of that time was hand raking and bagging the waste. The de-thatching part took about the same amount of time as it would take me to mow it.

I would definitely recommend this product."

Wow - works great

"had my misgivings, however, it installed easily, worked great....all that is left is a light fluffy 'down' of old grass that is sooooo easy to rake up."

Works Great!

Date:April 19, 2010

"This is probably the best $12 I have ever spent. Last year I used a hand rake to dethatch my lawn. Took me days.

I installed this product on my lawn mower (I also had to file down the middle hole a little to make it fit)....but once I snugged it up and passed it across my grass I was giddy with delight. The dead grass was coming out of the lawn like crazy.

I would recommend this product to anyone who is sick of paying some dude with a dethatcher $100 every spring.

Worked pretty well!

Date:September 18, 2008

"I have to say this thing did it's job. Not having ever had my lawn professionally dethatched I can't complain about the results. I pulled up about 9 garbage bags of dead grass as opposed to about 2-3 if I were to bag the clippings normally.
It took a bit of fiddling to get the blade to attach to my lawn mower, requiring some filing and a hammer, but nothing serious.
I would caution people to understand what a dethatcher's purpose is as it will chew up your lawn in places. It is my intention to lay grass seed next spring to try to thicken up my lawn.
Otherwise I'm happy. I figured for $10 how could I go wrong and was pleasantly surprised."

works great

Date:May 9, 2008

"I picked this up the other day for my MTD 21 inch mower. After cutting the grass nice and low, I put the dethatcher blade on. I raised the mower up a notch before using this blade on the lawn. I heard it is best to make 2 passes over the lawn with this. Cut it one way, then 90 degrees to that to really dethatch the lawn.
I seeded after , and a week later the grass is coming up nicely....the nice weather lately has helped. At first the lawn looks a bit chewed up, but it gets rid of the weeds and moss nicely.
I'm sure after a month I'll have a nice green , weed, and moss free lawn.
Great product, and cheap too!"

The blade does not fit on my Lawn Boy

Question:

On my Lawn Boy with a Honda motor, the two adaptors (which look almost identical to me) does not fit. The bolt for the original blade is too big for the adaptors. Should I take the item back? or is there other adaptors I can get?

Question:

I have a 21 inch blade on my lawnmower, is it ok that this is only 16 inches to dethatch my lawn?

Answer:

I just used it on my 21 inch Craftsmen and it worked great. Just remember to overlap your wheel marks more than when you cut your lawn to ensure good coverage.

Answer:

Why yes it is teamgreen9r. As long as your mower is at least 16 inches it will work just fine.

Dethatcher

Question:

Can this blade be used on an Electric Lawnmower??? or does it put too much stress on the engine? Please advise

Dani

Answer:

I wouldn't try it if your mower develops less than 5 hp (3730 W). My guess is that a motor smaller than that would probably stall. Also, since most electric mowers have twin blades, I don't know how you would fit this as it is designed for a single blade mower.

Answer:

This dethatcher blade is designed for use on gasoline lawn mowers only and will fit most models using included mounting hardware.
