Scarifying
Scarifying is usually carried out at the start or end of vegetation
growth.
It is possible to clean and aerate turf containing thatch and moss by
simultaneously mowing, scarifying and collecting in one operation.
To achieve this, straight scarifying blades are fitted between the pairs
of curved mowing blades. If the turf has already been cut short, only
the straight blades are fitted. The combination of mowing and scarify-
ing blades produces the best suction effect. Therefore, a combination
of mowing and scarifying blades should be used for wet and difficult
conditions.
•
Wide scarifying, blade spacing 51 mm
For this type of scarifying. the rotor is fitted with scarifying blades 2
or 3 mm wide.
Due to the wider spacing between the blades it is possible to work
the turf more deeply without causing excessive damage.
