Greenworks 40V Dethatcher. Kikuyu and Buffalo Results.

- In this video we have Matt Ryks help out a friend with his kikuyu and buffalo to show off the Greenworks 40V battery dethatcher.
Although we have only used the dethatcher cartridge you can see how impressive this results are on a thick kikuyu and buffalo. (Go easy with buff by the way, a '0' setting is about as deep as you want it to go.)
The results are brilliant and the Greenworks 40V did the duties of sucking up the excess material.
The battery will last quite a while but estimate that you may need to recharge after about 150m2, if you are starting at a higher level of cut and gradually going deeper into the sward and the start of the soil profile.
If you are looking at a skin, battery and charger package for the Greenworks Dethatcher/Scarifier, it is about $649 at your local Greenworks dealer.

Get your lawn on, we will be doing more Greenworks videos int the near future.

#batterydethatcher - Jak na to + styl
I bought and used one for a large yard for a customer. Blue couch and prepped to 15mm.
Used the scarifier and it was brilliant. I had it on nought /zero setting for height. It chugged along on a hot day and performed really well. I only had two batteries so a third would work better. But that was my largest yard so next time I'll prep and scarify each section and recharge the battery. That way I'll get better flow of work. Keep in mind it was hot and the battery needed to cool down for 40mins then add 120 mins recharge time.
Can't wait to use it again. I want to try it on my Palmetto out the front.
Love the tune. 🎉
The dethatcher is the Generation 1, with a 14-inch dethatching width, a brushed motor, and the height adjustment lever on the right. On Gen. 2 (2023), the dethatching width is 15 inches, the motor is brushless, and the lever is on the left. The Gen. 2 is probably better, but replacement parts are more readily available for Gen. 1.
Thanks for that super interesting
Where can we get them? That's the most important question
I have bought into the 60v line so unfortunately I need to wait until the 2nd quarter of 2024 for the 60v scarifier to be released. Hope it comes around quickly
That’ll be an absolute monster. The 60V gear is certainly the sweet spot of the range in terms of power and functionality.
Any idea which battery the dethatcher uses? Gen1 or the Gen2 (GMax)?
And which is compatible with the Allett Liberty 43 cylinder mower?
Gen 2
Good info on the Greenworks gear. Only thing is how much charge was left in the battery, would you recommend it on 200-300m2 lawns.
I mow normally 280sqm and use under 1 battery. Dethatcher uses a bit dependent on how thick it os
Have a look in the description. You may need 1 charge because it is a brutal process it takes some power. But 1 charge for a 300m lawn wouldn’t deter me.
We will do a charge test if we can find another lawn about that size
@@mattyr85 thanks.
Has anyone compared this to the Ryobi?
Will the Ryobi 40v battery work in here? I'm getting conflicting answers online.
Unsure. Sorry about that.
Hey mate how's this compare to the sawmi one that he had a few videos back? Also what's a price range expected for these and the model, charge time for batteries etc. Cheers mate 👍
Hi, I’m the guy who tested it. I found it easier compared to the sawmi as it’s cordless, it’s also got more steps for adjustments so that helps too. Price is $649 incl battery and charger. Batteries take a couple of hours to charge and can get 150-180sqm of light dethatching out of one battery
@@mattyr85 awesome mate thanks for your reply. I take it that'd just be the one battery though? I'm on 2 acres and looking to reno 1/4 of it so I think I'm best off just to hire one I guess so I can dethatch and core aerate lol cheers mate
@@callanmurphy9807 yeah if you’ve got that much area I would definitely just hire a machine.
@@mattyr85 yeh thought that'd be the go, spewing i couldn't do my reno this year with all this rain we're getting in nsw. Cheers mate 👍
I thought dethatchers can't be used on buffalo lawns because it does too much damage to the runners? But this seems to have worked just fine?!?
It’s because this wasn’t set so low. It worked really well and has started coming back really well
@@mattyr85 yeah I saw the amount of dry crap coming out of that lawn... Very impressive!
I have six 60v battery, I have all the 60v tool like, chainsaw, blower, mower, pressure washer, trimmer, backpack sprayer, snow blower, I just need Greenwork to release the 60v of Dethatcher, it would be a waste of money for me to buy 40v dethatcher tool + battery.
2024 I’m told. It’ll be amazing!
@@lawnporn thank you for the info boss.
Actually, you used the scarifier, not the dethatcher, I believe. Also, it would have been helpful for us to hear how it sounds, rather than the music.
indeed, the music volume level spiked up too much. Hopefully the OP will consider same level music vs speech the least.
It has attachments to scarify and dethatch
They used the wrong attachment lol.
Doesn't look to bad
Getting mixed answers. Thought buff shouldn’t be renovated like this. And should just be scalped down to the runners
This didn’t go as low as a lot of dethatchers go, and it worked really well.
Actually one should never scalp or dethatch buffalo unless it is in really poor condition. I just use my little Victa and drop it from notch 6 to 4 over a couple of weeks - I never go lower (and one of my lawns was 20 years old.)
Not a fan of the electric equipment I tried it for a whole year and it’s not powerful or sustainable enough to use for over 10 properties. Other than that it is quiet and all but not sure why there is not self propel on the mower.
Your video was very good tho nice editing.
For the home owner it’s great and within budget. Not really something you’d hit 10 properties with.
You don't need self propel on a small dethathing mower they pull themselves along
I asked Ego to make something like this years ago, they still have not done anything. I figured with their build quality and powerful batteries 🔋 they should have dominated this space in battery power rakes.
that is such a tini yard
Well its within the standard suburban size range. And thats why he's got a 46cm push mower.
So you make a video where people have to decrease volume every time the music-noise starts and increase again to be able to hear the comments. Ridiculous.
Thanks for the comment I’ll certainly take it onboard to make better videos in the future. Cheers.
Lol relax DURK. Not everone is a pro editor. Maybe try not be such a dick.
