Best video format and style on YT! Why can’t every instructional video be done by this guy?

Great video! Can you attach a bag to the power rake to make clean up easier?

They make a bag assemble for TR-20. So the bag frame is $555 and the bag is $153 but the bag has been discontinued. Might be able to find a used one on ebay
They say dethatching is necessary. It breaks the crown and allows weeds to sprout. You should do core aerating instead.

Thanks for the tip... I keep trying different methods to see what works best for my lawn. I've been core aerating in the fall when i put grass seed down and dethatching in the spring, and both seem to help. I've been happy with the results. Well, thanks for watching
thanks for the video, I am renting this tomorrow and one thing I was wondering: how can I get it on my cayene guess what now I know

I know. Who knew this would fit in the back of a Cayenne. The employee at Home Depot couldn't believe I was actually going to put it in the Cayenne. Well, thanks for watching
I have a lot of grass and want to rent this as well, can you pick up the thatch with your mower or is blowing and raking into piles the best way? Also how long after putting down weed and feed would you put grass seed? I also have a plan to rent an overseeder but I want to dethatch first.

Yes, you could use a lawn mower to pick up the thatch. Blower is the easiest. If you put grass seed down then don't put weed and feed down. Otherwise you have to wait 2 months after putting weed and feed down before putting any seed down. Best to seed in the fall and weed and feed in the spring
Hello and beautiful lawn. What grass type do you have and what height do you mow?

I use the Scott's sun and shade mix. amzn.to/3wpTEmU It's a blend of rye, fescue, and blue grass. I normally cut the lawn 3 inches
What are your thoughts on power raking the lawn 2 or 3 times???
@onesimpledad
4 ай бұрын
2 times is enough, but more can be better depending on how much moss or thatch is in lawn. Just remember to rake or blow off the lawn after you finish.
Can you put tines on the Classen dethather

I believe you can, but I rent the Classen dethatcher so I don't mess with switching the blades to tines
What does this thing weight, roughly? Wondering if I can load it by myself lol

It weighs 135 pounds. I could unload and possibly load it myself, but there's a chance I might scratch my vehicle so it's best to get help. Well thanks for watching
What’s the difference between power raking or using a dethatcher
@apenza4304
3 ай бұрын
The power raking is more aggressive and tears up the lawn more, kzread.info/dash/bejne/d4BtxpeQj727Ypc.htmlsi=CELh9JgEYhxCXryC

Power rakes are designed for thicker thatch and are more heavy duty and aggressively remove thatch.... a dethatcher is used for lighter layers of thatch. Well, thanks for watching
How many passes did you do?
@onesimpledad
4 ай бұрын
I did everything once and then switched directions and went over everything again. So, 2 passes. If you have a lot of moss its worth hitting those spots a few times
Can be this use to remove moss from lawn?
@onesimpledad

Yes, this does a great job removing moss.
So it’s not self propelled?

@Sh0ckwaveProductions it's not, but it is.... as soon as the blades grab hold of the lawn, it starts to take off like it's self-propelled... if it has nothing to grab on to... then you are pushing it. very easy to use... easier than an aerator

Thanks so much. I got it today . I have a lot of slope and around 1 acre. The heat killed me and pushing it was a mission. But at least on a positive note it was an amazing workout . Thanks so much for your video. You inspired me to do it .❤❤
Hell yea
