Scarifying is Essential for a Perfect Lawn

The technical specifications of all machines can be found at the back.

Why Scarify? In spring, when temperatures rise above 12°C, grass comes back to life. However, the lawn may have been neglected for some time. Mowing residue, dead grass, and leaves form a spongy layer on the soil. This layer provides an ideal breeding ground for fungi and pathogens. Moreover, this water-retentive layer keeps the soil moist for extended periods, creating a perfect habitat for moss. This leads to competition between moss, weeds, and grass. Common grass types like English ryegrass often struggle under these unfavorable conditions. Fast-growing weeds overshadow and suppress the grass....

The Importance of Blade Tips When scarifying, the blades must grip the thatch and moss layer of your lawn soil, loosen it and pull it up. Here, the tip of the blade plays a crucial role. Many blades become dull after only a few hours and lose their gripping power. As a result, the user is soon tempted to set the machine deeper. However, the consequences of this are harmful. Blades set too deep bring up a lot of soil and compact the soil in the process. In addition, the grass roots suffer irreversible damage and the machine suffers faster from wear.

ELIET dethatchers have been a household name among gardeners and garden professionals for 40 years. The operation of the 4 models is identical. The vertically rotating blades scrape the lawn surface clean. Notwithstanding the fact that these are push models, the rotating blades partially push the machines forward due to their ground contact.

Choosing the Right Blades It is the blade shaft hidden under the machine that will determine the quality of the work. Here as well, ELIET makes a difference. Thanks to Permanently Sharp BladesTM, the owner of an ELIET machine always benefits from a long service life and can be proud that they always gets the maximum yield from their machine. ELET has developed three types of blades, each with specific properties. It is therefore important to choose blades that are best suited to the type of lawn you will be dealing with most frequently. The blades are always threaded on a hexagonal steel shaft....

Scarifying Like a Pro With its 40 cm working width, the ELIET E401 is highly suitable for lawn lovers with medium-sized gardens. Its robust construction makes it indestructible. Although the E401 is the smallest dethatching machine in the ELIET range, it possesses the DNA of a true professional machine. The model provides many configuration options that allow it to be customised according to the user’s needs.

Solid Construction and Wheeled Chassis ENGINE CHOICE The robot-welded steel chassis is epoxy powder-coated. Sturdy wheels with natural rubber treads and dustproof bearings make the Pro version indestructible.

On the E401, the working depth can be adjusted to the nearest mm on each front wheel. Trouble-free operation year after year was...

Versatile The ELIET E450 is the symbiosis of the E401 and the E501 and aims at a target group of semi-professional users. ELIET developed the E450, with 45 cm working width and foldable handlebars. Therefore, this machine is highly suitable for rental. It is robustly built yet lightweight and fits into any boot.

ENGINE CHOICE Robust Construction Thanks to its size and capacity, the E450 is very versatile. In rental applications, machines are put to the test. Its spartan simplicity, robust construction and conscious choice of materials guarantee its durability in all conditions. The wheels of a scarifier always roll over the raked-out moss from the adjacent yard strip. Because this moss would not stick to the wheels and distort the depth setting, standard wheel scrapers are provided. The E450 is one of the first models on the market available with battery drive. This gives it all the advantages of an...

Icon of Durability 40 years ago, the model 500 was the very first scarifier in the ELIET range, and has ever since become an icon among garden professionals. The very first machine is still in use today, which is abundant proof of its durability and operational safety.

Vertical Belt TensionerTM To decouple the blades, ELIET does not use a conventional tensioning pulley, which causes failure every so often. In contrast, ELIET developed the “vertical belt tensioner”. A lever mechanism is used to lift the engine support plate and tension the belt. This allows the belt to retain its natural shape even under load, which significantly increases its service life. The two belt pulleys only act on the inside of the belt, sparing the outside of the belt from wear. A belt rarely needs to be replaced on an ELIET professional scarifier. Depth Adjustment on Rear Wheels All...

When Large is the Standard! Large grass areas that serve as playgrounds for riding mowers also require the best care. This calls for specialised equipment. ELIET answered this market demand with superlatives: the E750 model was given a working width of no less than 75 cm, enabling targeted and efficient treatment of large lawns. Inspired by the E501, the E750 also inherited all the core features that make ELIET scarifiers so unique. With a powerful engine, this XL scarifier is well equipped for heavy-duty work.

Maximise your Rental Returns Enough engine power The ELIET E750 is equipped with a 9 HP Honda engine. The available power is therefore more than sufficient for the engine to deliver enough power even at lower rpm. An engine that works at lower revs has lower consumption and a lower noise level. E750 Trailed Model Owners of large gardens often have a rideon mower. To make scarifying these gardens easier, ELIET developed a trailed model of the E750. This model can be attached to a ride-on mower and, thanks to its adjustable drawbar, is compatible with any available model. To ensure the precision...
