Wheels could be better quality and the raise and lower lever needs some work but it's good

I had doubt that it would do the job at this price but it did it better than i was expecting. I recommend this machine if you have a big space

Used this on a heavily thatched lawn and had very good results even without weight. The tines are well built and effective, and the frame is adequate. I'd prefer some vertical adjustment in the hitch, but you can adjust the frame and wheels to get the tines level with a bit of fiddling.Assembly looks easy, but it is not. I'm fairly experienced and it took me over 2 hours and a good amount of frustration. The drawings are large and mostly clear, but are sorely in need some text and warnings. Parts can go on multiple ways but are not functional unless installed in the exact orientation pictured. The drawings are very confusing because the unit is sometimes pictured wheels up, sometimes wheels down. Sometimes pointing away, sometimes pointed towards you. I had to study the diagrams closely, flip them around for orientation, and still had to partially disassemble and reassemble to get parts to line up correctly. Argh! Also, you must squeeze the tines at the wide part of the V to insert them into the brackets. Easy enough, but note it in the dang instructions! I almost knocked off a star for assembly frustration. However, assembly is a onetime hassle, and then the device works well.Much more convenient and cost effective than a power rake. I would buy this again.

I didn’t have high expectations but I did hope that it at least worked well enough so that I could get my yard done. I’m very happy with the results. I included some photos (the ghosts are for privacy) to show my results, and the only con I had.I want to note that I did not use any weight on mine. I wasn’t able to take care of my yard for two years because of surgery so it was pretty bad. I have a huge pine tree that drops cones and needles like crazy. This thing grabbed every cone that wasn’t 75% buried. I used it to do all the heavy lifting and then I went over the whole yard with a rake. What came up filled 17 lawn bags. I guess it may depend on your needs, whether this will suffice or you need a higher quality version.The only con was that part of the frame around where the handle goes through, started to wear a little bit (pics with pink arrow). But it doesn’t affect the function so I don’t care. Again, I didn’t have high expectations but I am very happy with the results.It’s very easy to use and it hooked up to my Husqvarna without issue.The first pic, the pile is only from between the two blue lines (under the tree that drops all the cones).The second pic is from the rest of the yard.

I could not complete assembly of this product because one of the nuts for a bolt was defective. Of course I did not find this out until it stripped the bolt. Amazon could not help because there was no way they could get replacement parts. They told me to send it back. This item is huge! Tried to get in touch with Suchtale first because they stated on Amazon how important the satisfaction of each customer is. Haven't heard from them. So unless you want to take a chance on having the same thing happen to you, go with a better company, in both ways.

We rake at least 8 acres every other week and every time we rake the grass comes back greener and better. It just works amazing to pull all the dead grass out and allowed new growth. It is definitely worth it and it works great . We did put two pavers on top of it for weight.

liked, used to clean lawn of cut grass. Wheels need to be carefully watched, they tend to bind up

Instructions are the best I've seen for any product I've ever had to assemble. The instructions are 10 pages of clear text and images on color glossy paper!The dethatcher worked perfectly even without any weight added to it.I dethatched about 13,000 sq ft and collected 20 bags of thatch with a John Deere tractor double bagger.All the parts were perfect, well packaged and protected and they even provide extra bolt, nut and washer in caseI.Couldn't be happier at any price although this was the least expensive I could find.A must buy!

I bought this because I just wanted a simple tow behind dethatcher and from seeing them at the box stores, figured this would be the same. It's not, it's better.First, unlike the store ones which have glossy paint which flakes off right away, this is entirely powder coated. The handle has a decent rubber grip attached, and the tines are actually bolted in rather than just fit or stuck in with spring pressure. The tires actually have a solid rubber tread and don't feel like they'll fall off in a year.The packaging was really excellent, the directions were clear, and they included all the wrenches and even gloves. I recommend getting a socket set out if you don't want to take forever, and definitely wear some gloves to handle the tines, they are sharp.Went together great, worked great. If I have one criticism, it is that the hitch bracket section is a bit squirrely to put together and I would have much preferred some sort of monolothic hitch bracket instead of the two-way flat stock sandwich. For the price, though, I can't really complain especially with powder coating.

The only reason for 4 stars; the assembly for the handle was a little difficult, and the instructions could be more clear, but we finally got it assembled with a little tweak from the instruction. We ordered the 40" and it is the perfect size to pull behind our lawn tractor, and it was so easy to attach. It worked great, couldn't believe all the dead grass it pulled up, I should have taken a picture. We went over our lawn several times and then used our hand mower to bag all the dead grass. We think dethatching made the lawn look so much better, there wasn't as much dead grass mixed in with the good healthy grass. We plan on doing it again this fall and re-seeding. If you don't want to pay someone to do the dethatching of your lawn this is a nice little de-thatcher for you to do yourself. We figured when we go to store it this winter we will remove the handle and it should stand up on the wheels against the shed wall, shouldn't take up too much room. It was a great purchase and we would recommend it.
