I have had a Dori 520 for years and it's been flawless. Big, powerful, never gets bogged down in thatch
We have a Wolf petrol scarifier and a Sisis Rotorake.
The guys prefer the wolf every time and it’s been faultless in operation.
Eliets - tough as nails and great performance. Go for Honda engined versions if buying used.
The Bannermans are good also.
Whats the budget? and what sized lawns are you looking at?
Minumun lawn size 100m upto 1acre lawns.
Budget upto £800+vat.
I'd second the Eliet.. go for the 501 if you can.. simple to adjust the height and a beast to boot. You will eat gardens with it. It's costly mind..
i am looking for a scarifier at the moment but am on a bit of a budget given my small! £600 budget and local dealer support I have to choose between a stiga the hayter one and the small weibang one. I am erring on the side of the weibang but that may be because it's the only one I have seen in the flesh
Graeme... check the specs of that Weibang. It's twice the weight of similar sized machines from other brands! I think it's too heavy for a scarifier as there;s a fair amount of push required to work with one.
Thanks for the heads-up Dan will do. I am mainly doing general moss removal than full on lawn renovations.top dressing etc
I got myself the smaller weibang the start of this season. As Dan says it does seem heavy, but not found that to be a problem. I have only been using it on my regular jobs though so I like to think fairly well cared for. I suppose the weight could be an issue for 'one off' jobs where you might be wading through deep moss and thatch.
Really pleased with it so far. Does a good job, easy height adjustment, swinging blades, and despite the weight does not trash the lawn.
Camon LS42 Amazing machine, tough, durable, quick and easy height adjustment, long lasting reversible blades, Honda engine, Eats through the thatchiest lawns.
