Also known as the grooming reel, the verticutter is predominantly designed for clearing lawns of weed grasses.
The blades are 1mm thick and each one has 9 tips. They are spaced close together (10mm apart) and are mounted on the horizontal rods in a staggered layout so that the tips of the blades are alternating, so providing maximum ground coverage. There are more verticutter blades on a rod than on a standard scarifier.
The verticutter blades are designed to be used just above the thatch layer so will not impact the soil. This cartridge will remove weed grasses and annual meadow grass seed heads to prevent thatch forming and promote finer grasses, so increasing turf density and thickening the lawn. It can also be used before mowing to create an upright lawn, resulting in a neater and more uniform cut.
