THE UK'S NO. 1 GARDEN MACHINERY WEBSITE
The new Einhell GC-SC 4240 P petrol scarifier is a very efficient and reliable tool for ambitious hobby gardeners who want to produce a healthy, weed-free lawn through effective soil cultivation.
With 18 high-grade steel blades, the ball-bearing blade shaft tackles weeds, moss and their roots in highly effective manner. A powerful four-stroke petrol engine provides ample torque for continuous progress with consistently good results.
The speed control allows ecological working. The working depth can be adjusted centrally to eight different levels, enabling you to adapt the GC-SC 4240 P to the requirements of the particular soil and vegetation with a twist of the wrist. To protect the blades and the standing surface there is a parking position.
For effortless operation, even in difficult soil conditions and for less stress on the lawn the petrol scarifier is equipped with large wheels. The 45 litre catch bag is large enough for long, uninterrupted work sessions. This petrol scarifier comes with a robust, long-lasting metal housing and a folding long handle for storage in minimum space.
The GC-SC 4240 P is recommended for lawns of up to approx. 1,200 m².
Why Scarify?
During the autumn, the grass on your lawn goes into a kind of winter hibernation. Just like all plants, this is a way for the grass to protect itself against a possible bleak wintry climate. In the spring, if the temperature increases above 12°, the grass starts growing again.
However, in the meantime, the lawn has been neglected. Residue from mowing, dead grass and roots have formed a spongy layer at the bottom of the lawn surface. This is an ideal breeding ground for fungi and germs. This layer also retains water, so that the soil remains permanently moist, with this slowing down the growth of the grass. However, moist subsoil is also an ideal biotope for moss. This results in moss, weeds and grass all competing with each other in an effort to grow. Under these adverse conditions, a common type of grass such as English rye-grass, will often find itself being oppressed.
Fast-growing weeds and moss will take all of the light away and smother the grass. It is therefore important to intervene at this time. Spraying is a very efficient way of killing the competing weeds and moss. However, the layer of dead moss still remains in the lawn, and this prevents light and air from penetrating to the grass root. Moreover, this also makes the soil more acidic. This layer must therefore be mechanically removed. This is where a scarifying machine comes into action.
