I was hoping for a little more when I used this the first time. I now realize the limitations this de-thatcher has. For one, I don't have a lot of confidence it will last a long time. Some of the parts just seem to be cheaply made, as is the case with so much stuff we purchase now days. Secondly, I had a tremendous amount of trouble adjusting the height/depth. Either it dug into ground too far, or it didn't dig into enough to pull up the thatch. If you have the tines too tight to the ground, the entire unit bounces behind you and accomplishes nothing. Not tight enough to the ground and it doesn't pull the thatch. After several adjustments, I got it as close to satisfactory as I could get, but it still isn't perfect. Thus, the 4-star review. What do I like about it? It does pull up thatch fairly well on even ground. Any variance in the ground's level and you are going to miss spots where the tines don't even come in contact with the ground. I'm not referring to really uneven ground, just a slight decline or dip. Was this easier than raking my yard by hand? Absolutely. Did it do as good a job as a rake? No it does not. It is somewhere in between. All in all, this is far from a perfect instrument. I did pay less than $100 for it, so that has to be considered also. This is something that can make your life easier, but only under the best of conditions (even ground, etc.).Read full review

The manufacturer could do a better job of removing the sharp edges on the stamped out steel parts. The rubber bicycle handle grip ripped out before even using. ( cheap solution could be improved on). The hitch pin should be 1/2" dia. instead of 3/8" dia.

Used this product last week to break up and remove excessive moss. It did what I needed it to do. Good quality, some installation required, instructions easy to follow.

Good unit. Just wish they would make one change. It would be nice to be able to fold the very tall engagement arm away for storage. A pivot bolt and a pin is all it would take!!
