Nice video, great to see an expert at work. Maybe in an upcoming video can you tell us about your experience with cylinder blades on the Allett , how often you sharpen them and if you backlap etc. And how much do you pay for regrinding?
@woodpecker803 жыл бұрын
Great video Dan You’re right about the scarifier attachment it works brilliantly. I found it had to be set a 1 for height for it to operate smoothly. Not having to rake the grass up is a Bonus makes the job easy as well as worthwhile. Great piece of kit.

Hi Daniel just 1 question what's the purpose of the front roller on the mower will it not flatten the grass before cutting it👍👍

Great video. Did you have the setting on S for the scarifying. I did my front lawn on Sunday about 60M2 on S setting got 2 wheelie bins full of thatch out. Lawn looks like a hay field now, no green to be seen, it's a right mess. Fingers crossed it will recover. Thank you.

Excellent explanation. I have the Qualcast with both mower and scarifier cassettes. I think I’ve worked out it’s the same cassettes as the Allett machine. I think the verticutter will deal better with the Poa Annua and weeds maybe, in its cutting action. It’s something I want to buy next as well as a 10 blade cylinder.

Hi Dan, do you think this attachment is all you need in terms of a scarifier? And therefore no need for a more typical scarifier as well? It seems abit more gentle that’s all.

Found your channel this year Daniel and it's become my fav lawn care channel and look fwd to each new upload. I'm about to purchase an Allett in the next few weeks but alittle confused over getting the extra attachments. Allett and yourself in this video recommend the the scarifier if you could only purchase the one, but in a video a few days back you were pleasantly surprised by the verticuter on scarify duties, plus you seem to use that attachment\method most often (at least in the videos you post), so was wondering if it was more versatile over the season? my lawns are a mix of fescues\meadow\bent although I've been overseeding with dwarf ryes this year so wonder if that makes any difference vs the predominant dwarf rye lawns you build\care for.

Hi Daniel, I love what you are producing. I live in the north west like yourself. How many times do you suggest scarifying each year? I have been looking after my own lawns for over twenty years. However since watching your channel it has me wanting to reach new levels. I scarified my front lawn in August and I admit I went over the top manually doing it. It has come back better than ever though. Keep up the great work

Just found your channel wish I found it earlier. Quick question, If I may. I have just had a new lawn laid (would have seeded if found you before) and need a mower. I see you use rotary and cylinder but only look to buy one. What would you recommend a rotary or cylinder? Many thanks - love to the channel

if you only have enough for one then it would have to be a rotary as more versatile

Think that scarifier attachment will be on my Christmas list. Had the battery liberty 35 earlier this year and wondered if I should get this attachment as I already have an electric scarifier but I guess it will free up space in the shed.
