Fairway Dethatcher


Copyright 1991 -2004 DSTurf. - Patent Pending.

What it does

The custom fairway dethatcher (patent pending) removes thatch, snow mould, and aerates all in one quick and easy step.

How it works

The Dethatcher has 48 spring tooth tines. The tines sit at a 90° angle at rest, and span 118" in width.

The tines vibrate, kicking the thatch forward and out of the soil. This piece of equipment has 3 adjustable 10 lbs. weights that can be placed forward or backwards to set the pitch of the tines. The wheels are manufactured for high quality boat trailers and also have grease packed bearings.

When to dethatch

The best time to dethatch your fairways is in the spring, removing thatch and snow mold while giving your grass a chance to grow strong and healthy.

Dethatching can also be done during summer months as needed, working similar to a groomer lifting the grass before the next cut.

In the fall, the dethatcher is used to thin the grass preventing pests and disease from finding a fertile breeding ground

Benefits

The fairway dethatcher is easy to operate and virtually maintenance free.
Can work at the same time as a fairway mower.

By manufacturing a hitch for your fairway mower, you can pull your dethatcher while you cut your fairways. Thus doubling your efficiency saving you time, money, manpower, and does not interfere with course activities.

There is virtually no additional cost to operating this piece of equipment.

Results

Your fairways will be "picture-perfect", less prone to disease and a pleasure to play on.
