BEST RAKE - Groundkeeper II Rake - Lawn Dethatching, Leaves, Cleanups

[@BobHoover-e3c]

Purchased 6 of these at equipment expo in Kentucky many years ago. Use them every fall commercially. Never replaced tines (I do have 2 handles to replace) got them for $25 each last day of show. Great investment to accompany our power de-thatchers and core aerators

Dude awesome vid! Love the fast and snappy intro and nice thumbnail 👍

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Thanks George 👊🏼

[@Striperman]

Well done sir. I love my Greenskeeper II. I use it for everything in the lawn and flower beds.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

It's a great rake. Thanks for watching Keith 👊🏼 We need an update on your renovation 😉

[@brandonhyden9454]

[@jcs1758]

I have it....grounds keeper 2. love it and it does all the tasks all the specialty rakes do and it does them better, faster and easier.. best money I've spent on lawn tools

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I agree. It's an awesome rake. Well worth the money.

[@jamzach4]

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Thanks Scott. It definitely a great tool to have. 👊🏼

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Thanks Mike. I've had this one for about a year now and it's definitely my go to.

[@donf1526]

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I've had this one about a year. It's definitely my favorite rake.

I bought this rake this past Spring. It's great. It pulls put tons of dead grass and debris :) !!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

It's an awesome rake for pulling up debris. 👍🏻

[@PNWLawnGuy]

Impressive! I never heard of it before I saw this video

[@SuperTA329]

Been using for 3 years and it is my go to for everything accept racking leaves. My favorite use for it is when doing an overseed or reno. Use the rake in a back and forth motion never lifting off the ground and it will prepare the perfect seed bed. I like the 9" however it tends to want to go left or right on you but definitely a great rake. The price confused me also vs. 21". Backyard is looking great. 👍

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

The backyard looks great on camera but it has a big issue I'm gonna address here really soon. More to come....

[@LawnNOrder]

Greta info buddy. I’m still waiting for Santa to bring one. Lol 👊🌴😎

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Thanks man.. Christmas is coming faster than ya think 👊🏼

[@benharrison5816]

I can confirm the Groundskeeper 2 kicks ass for removing thatch and moss. I got the same situation, I have the Sun Joe, but it won't get the edges with the landscaping stones in the way. So I use the Groundskeeper 2 around the perimeter, and to get aggressive with the spots that the Sun Joe misses, because even with a double-pass with the scarifier it doesn't get everything, especially if there's some dips in the yard. And it does work great as a general rake, but for leaves I still like using the wide plastic leaf rake since it's a bit wider and the leaves don't get stuck in it as much.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I completely forgot about moss. It dies work great for that as well. 👍🏻

[@richv70]

I love mine, it is awesome!

They are a great tool to have. 👍🏻

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

It's an awesome rake.

[@richard4king575]

Can I use this to rake grass that has been cut with my lawnmower?

[@duncanbrown7082]

This absolutely is a fantastic rake. It can be used in both directions as well, which is good after you put new seed down. Be careful when installing the tines. I got part of my finger stuck under one. Ouch! The springs do most of the work for you.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Ouch. I bet that wasn't pleasant getting your finger stuck. 😬

[@steveanderson6181]

0:04 Just watched your video. I’m going to buy the 9 inch and a 21 inch for those look good thanks.

[@richv8124]

The one key benefit that should be emphasized is that the standard dethatching rake doesn't need to be lifted off the ground to use it. You just push it back and forth on the ground like your using a vacuum cleaner, as you demonstrated. This key feature allows me to use it for extended periods of time with much less fatigue than my Groundskeeper. Still like the Groundskeeper but not for multi hour debris removal work.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I’ve found the opposite to be true. I’d much rather use the groundskeeper rake than a thatch rake. Boils down to what works for you. 👍🏼

[@richv8124]

@@PacificNorthwestLawns Agreed comes down to personal preference. One thing rarely discussed about the dethatching rake is you can use it one handed effectively. Comes in handy if you have a shoulder issue or blisters.

[@craigphillips3154]

I bought a dethatching rake when i first mofed into my house 3 years ago. I tried it and really wanted tk like it. However, it was horrible for my Bermuda. All it did was wear me out and rip up my stolons. The Groundskeeper II, on the other.hand, is great (once you understand how to use it). For just leaf and debris removal, you dont push down. Just let the rake glide over and it does the job. If you want to remove thatch.or wash lines /tiger stripes then you put some downward force on it and it will pull that crap up out of the canopy. And, most importantly, it wont do nearly as much damage to the stolons in my Bermuda. I still have my metal tined leaf rake for leaf removal, but the Groundskeeper II is what i grab most iften now.

[@johnnelwhite]

I let my neighbor use mine one day and off to Amazon he went. It took me awhile to pull the trigger on one but when I did it was worth it

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Exactly how I came to get one. 💯

Sold . Thanks I just brought

[@ryhi872]

Small section of back lawn looks good. I’m assuming it’s that double dark blend in the description? Rake looks like a dandy.

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

Yes it's in the backyard where I put the double dark seed.

[@gregbogan5834]

Sounds silly to ask cause no one else seems to have this problem haha, but how do you assemble this thing? Do I hammer this pin into place or should it be simpler than that. Thanks!

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

If I recall, yes, you just lightly tap the pin in.

What fo you have on the side of the fence??

[@shadylawndude9488]

[@Sharon-e6d]

I mea t to ask why you didn't "demonstrate" the last one?

[@Sharon-e6d]

Why didn't you demonize last one??? I have a garden that needs dethacthing. It hasn't been tilled in years.

[@Sharon-e6d]

Demonstrate, not demonize. Lol

[@DaddingAllDay]

Dang dude. 6’3!! Lol! I think using the rake in conjunction with the SunJoe would get the full yard. I can’t imagine using just the rake for “dethatching”

[@PacificNorthwestLawns]

I've done it on small yards 500 sq ft or less or in tight places. It's a nice option to have and it's really useful for more than dethatching too.

[@markj6984]

ahhh im just starting on out a side business for lawn care and gas prices have killed me so im running it all off an ebike. How you ask? I use the customers tools... great idea but try dethatching someones lawn when all they hand you is a plastic rake. aghaahahahaha gotter done and went and bought a proper rake right after lol

Good luck with the new business. 👍🏼

come on now ... rakes are a waste of time - buy a SUN JOE dethatching machine !

Who said I didn't already have one? The Sun Joe has it's limits. The rake fills those gaps..
