Scarifier

Posted by Greenlawns on October 14, 2010 at 10:31pm
I'm thinking seriously about investing in a scarifier, think i've narrowed it down to a Dori, Hayter, possibly one or two others, anyone help me with some recommendations, not sure about the different type of blades either, fixed, flail etc, not bothered about a collector for the thatch, and could probably go to £500-£600.

    I have the Wolf UV-40H. It is much better than the Camon C80 in virtually every way (and is also 1/2 the price).

      We also have the wolf and have had it for over 5 yrs for both domestic and commercial. 

      The only things that have needed changing is new blades as the old ones went blunt. 

      The amount it takes out of any lawn is unbelievable and it's also very very light.

    I have the same wolf scarifier. I done 7000m2 with it today, and it coped really well. It only used three tanks of petrol too, about 1.5 litres. Its a great bit of kit.

    Seems like I need to go loook at the Wolf best price I can find up to now £489 inc vat , it is 'B' model though with the Briggs engine, anyone know anywhere cheaper.

    sisis the best,contra rotating blades the best also, but picey,a good second hand sisis is prob better than most new domestics. blades or tines are both good ,although blades will last longer

    I have a Dori as well, Briggs and Stratton engine, well built. Spares are available from distributor as do not seem to have dealer network. Needed to replace some scarifier blades as tried to scarify anchor point for rotary clothes drier. I evan new it was there because I removed drier before starting work.
    Mechanic at distributor emailed me idiots guide to replacing blades, but not something you want to do every week.

    Dori is a fair machine. Does the job & well priced. Vibrates look hell though. I fitted rubber washers & put pipe lagging & Duck tape around the handle bars & that helps. Haven't tried to get spares yet but the people on the web site gave me a list of suppliers. When money & demand improves I will get something a bit posher.
