Tuesday morning I was working in my garage making up foams for my Magic Sponge. In the afternoon I met Phil from Brushes North West who came to collect some new brush frames from the fabricators, he also brought me a new design double rake to test and trial.
Here I am after fitting the rake direct to the three point linkage of the tractor. The seat is lifted as it had just started to rain.
Here you can see the first pass.
Look how the rake has lifted the moss, dead grass and general rubbish from the base of the sward it has also raised the healthy grass.
Look at all those bad boys.
The tines are off set giving maximum coverage.
In this view the "A" frame and fastening can be seen, the two rake heads can slide up and down the parallel sides of the "U" frame bringing them closer to each other if required. They are fixed with quick release clamps making adjustment speedy and with ease.
Phil driving the tractor for only the second time in his life, he was very nervous frightened of doing any damage.
Get out the way I coming! Where are the brakes?
The area we had raked is in the back-ground.
This is a better view.
This double rake absolutely makes a top job -on the outfield- of lifting out debris, moss, dead grass and raises the grass -presenting it better for mowing.
Just a few of the benefits of raking are listed below.
1. Removing dead grass/thatch- which would prevent drainage and slow growth.
2. Lets air around the grass plant - reducing fungal disease.
3. Raises grass -for more efficient mowing.
4. Improves presentation -when used in conjunction with mowing.
5. lifts moss from surface.
They will be on sale soon either from me or from Brushes North West
The price will be £750-00 worth every penny if you want to improve your outfield.
