6.3 Scarifying
Scarifying is usually carried out at the start or end of the vegetation
period.
It is possible to clean and aerate turf containing thatch and moss by
simultaneously mowing, scarifying and collecting in one operation.
To achieve this, straight scarifying blades are fitted between the pairs
of curved mowing blades. If the turf has already been cut short, only
the straight scarifying blades are fitted. The combination of mowing
and scarifying blades produces the best suction effect. Therefore, a
combination of mowing and scarifying blades should be used for wet
and difficult conditions.
• Wide scarifying, blade spacing 51 mm
In this case, 2 mm or 3mm thick scarifying blades are mounted on
the rotor.
CAUTION
Always mount only one type of scarifying blade on the rotor as
otherwise the machine will be out of balance and will be dam-
aged!
This allows the working depth to be increased without engaging too
aggressively with the turf.
