Cobra 13 Electric 2-in-1 Scarifier/Aerator

Cobra 13 Electric 2-in-1 Scarifier/Aerator £109.99
The Cobra S32E Scarifier/Lawn Raker will bring an end to hours of manual raking, forking and scraping, giving yourself a lawn to be proud of year after year! It comes with a powerful 1300W motor, has a full 32cm (13) working width and features both a scarifying drum and a bladed aerator, which can be easily swapped.Scarifer – Scarifying is a process perhaps best described as a mechanical raking of the lawn, its primary purpose is to remove thatch and moss although it has associated benefits as well. The scarifying drum has a series of sharp tines that rotate at high speed and cut into the turf in a vertical manner.Aerator – As well as the scarifying drum, it also comes complete with a bladed aerator that has 10 high quality steel blades. The main reason for aerating is to alleviate soil compaction. Compacted soils have too many solid particles in a certain volume or space. These processes improve air, water and nutrient penetration, for stronger roots and a healthier, more vibrant lawn.Controls – The ergonomically positioned controls not only make operator use more comfortable, but more importantly, make using Cobra lawn scarifiers as safe as possible.Specification:Rated Power: 1300WRated Voltage: 230V-50HzWorking Width: 32cm (13)Working Depth: -10mm – +10mmWorking Height Adjustment: 5 SettingsGrass Bag Capacity: 30 litreCable Length: 10mAerating Blade Drum & Scarifying Tine Drum
