With springtime quickly approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at a few of our scarifiers. Over the past few years, the lawns have taken quite a battering due to the wet winters and the dryish summers. In general, the British lawn is very resilient and it’s very easy to bring a worn lawn back to life. A few simple steps such as scarifying and using an aerator can quickly help to bring your lawn back to life. It’s also a good idea to use a spring and autumn dressing to keep your lawn healthy and weed-free.

Four Stroke Petrol Engine

With a powerful 212 cc four-stroke petrol engine, developing 4.2 kW which equals 5.6 hp, the scarifier has plenty of power. The air-cooled engine has a straightforward recoil start engine that is manufactured by Einhell. I like the freedom that a petrol engine gives on a machine, there is no risk of a battery going flat or a trailing cable getting in the way. We do have a range of petrol and electric scarifiers that can be found here.

Hardened Steel Blades

With 18 hardened steel blades and a 40 cm working width, the Einhell GC-SC 2240P Petrol Lawn Scarifier quickly scarifiers your lawn. The scarifier can be set to -15 to +5 mm, which brings plenty of variation. The height is controlled by a lever at the side of the machine that gives you eight different settings within a 20 mm overall setting.

Collection Bag

Whenever I scarify a lawn it never fails to amaze me how much moss and thatch comes out of the lawn. There is always a lot more than you can ever imagine! The Einhell GC-SC 2240P Petrol Lawn Scarifier comes with a 45 L collection bag, however, in most circumstances the collection bag will fill up extremely quickly.

In some cases, it is easier not to use the collection bag and to pick up the grass either manually or with a ride on mower. Fortunately, moss and thatch are very lightweight so this can quickly be gathered up with a rake.

The easiest way to clear your lawn of moss after it has been scarified is to use a ride-on mower with a collector. I appreciate that not everyone will have this privilege, however, in my experience, this is by far the best way and quickest way to clear away the thatch and moss.

The other way is to simply rake the thatch and moss into heaps and then either place the material in a large barrow or gather up on a large tarpaulin. As I mentioned, the thatch and moss are really quite light so you can move large amounts quite quickly.

More Features

The large wheels on the Einhell GC-SC 2240P Petrol Lawn Scarifier help to make the machine easy to manoeuvre and push. Although it’s a push machine, it is fairly effortless to push.

With foldable handles, the Einhell Petrol Lawn Scarifier becomes very compact, especially for storage purposes in the winter. At just 31.4 kg scarifier can easily be lifted into a van or back of a car.

To Conclude

Scarifying really does help to create a healthy lawn. Owning your own scarifier gives you the benefits of being able to scarify in the perfect conditions.

With 115 reviews with an average rating of 4.7 out of five, the Einhell GC-SC 2240P Petrol Lawn Scarifier definitely has to be worth a look. The two-year manufacturer’s warranty is also a good plus point.

Just remember that you will be amazed at how much thatch and moss comes out of your lawn. But you will also benefit from a much healthier looking lawn. Regular scarifying can make a huge difference mixed with a weed and feed regularly.
