If your lawn has excessive thatch buildup, Brinly's 40 in. Tow-Behind Dethatcher is the tool for the job. While some thatch can be beneficial to protecting a lawn's roots, more than about a half of an inch can suffocate your lawn, preventing rain, air, and fertilizer from reaching the soil. The Brinly Dethatcher, in a rugged gunmetal-tone finish, gently combs unwanted thatch to the surface where it can be mulched or collected by a Bagger or Lawn Sweeper. The 40 in. working width makes this the perfect tool for small to medium-sized lots, while the durable construction of the 20 flexible steel tines ensures you'll be dethatching season after season. The all-steel design also features a heavy-duty weight try that allows for 70 lb. of added weight for more aggressive operations. Three operating modes (Dethatching, Scarifying, and Transport) ensure you have the right height for the job; Choose the Dethatching mode for light dethatching every time you mow, or select the more aggressive Scarify mode for more intensive dethatching action. Then, when the job is done, conveniently access the engagement lever from the driver's seat, which activates the 6 in. x 1.5 in. never-flat transport wheels for crossing sidewalks and other paved areas.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

  • Maximum Thatch Removal: 40 in. working width and 2 rows of 10 independently flexing spring steel tines comb through a lawn, lifting thatch up and out of the lawn where it can be mowed or mulched to promote a healthier root system.
  • Multiple Settings for Different Tasks: Brinly's Dethatcher can be set to work as a straight dethatcher (tines comb the grass, flicking up thatch) or in a more aggressive mode where the tines scrape and scarify the soil as they pull up thatch - useful for re-seeding projects. Place the Dethatcher in transport mode for crossing drives and walkways.
  • Long-Lasting Construction: All steel design with heavy-duty tray holds up to 70 lb. of additional weight (for aggressive operations). Tines are made of durable spring steel; in the unlikely event of a breakage, a safety rod is included to catch the tine and prevent contact with mower blades. No-flat diamond rubber-tread transport wheels for durability.
  • Easy-to-Engage Transport Wheels: The engagement lever, conveniently accessible from the driver's seat, lowers the 6 in. never-flat transport wheels when crossing sidewalks, driveways, and paths.
  • Spring Steel Tines: 20 long-lasting, triple-coil strength 3/16 in. diameter spring steel tines stay flexible and guarantee performance. Tines come pre-assembled to the tray.
  • Universal Hook-Up: A single, heavy-duty universal hitch pin is included to easily attach the Dethatcher to any rider or tractor and most any ZTR or ATV. Features drawbar with adjustable mounting positions to adapt to all tractor hookup heights.
  • Simple Assembly: Includes easy pictorial assembly manual with fastener skin pack; each part is matched to each assembly step.
  • Product Support: For warranty, service parts, or for help at any time, reach out to the Brinly Customer Service team by calling our toll-free number (877-728-8224) or by emailing customerservice@brinly.com. Replacement parts can also be ordered online at Brinly's website

Works Great!

20 days ago
I just put it together yesterday and used it. It works exactly as described. When buliding it, I would use the video instructions on YouTube. I helps a lot! Also level it out correctly as stated in the instructions and/or video before using. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-NFgCmlvgY

Yes, I recommend this product.
