Lovely Machine It does what it says, certainly takes out the thatch and moss very well. I only have one comment and that is, with the engine being on one side of the machine it makes it slightly out of balance, tends to cut in deeper because of the added weight of the engine being on the side. It would be good if the engine was situated in the middle of the machine.

A fantastic piece of kit and great value Incredibly impressed with this scarifier. Quality is excellent and has sufficient power to work hard across large areas of grass. Easy to set up and use as the instructions are clear and straightforward.

Definitely recommend

great machine Well it certainly does what I need, really good scarification on a high setting, my lawn was looking pretty poor with lots of moss and fescue, on the second highest position it really got through the job in no time.

Fantastic Customer Service and Quality Item Ordering and delivery was spot on. Good tracking and helpful driver at the door.
The scarifier works like a dream and strips out unbelievable amounts of dead thatch/moss and weeds.
Be warned it will scalp your lawn in seconds so use the height settings wisely.
All in all very pleased with the scarifier and a big thumbs up for MowDirect.

Well pleased with my purchase Arrived in good time even with covid19 problem,wish I brought oil,has i had problem purchasing it locally
When oiled up machine filled with petrol started first pull.only just used it on one lawn at the first hight it made a excellent job,my lawns are thick with moss so left basket off just raked up moss. Well I know why they sell out all the time. Excellent for £300.

Wow Wow Wow Wish I had this machine years ago, I am very fussy on equipment, this machine is fantastic does a brilliant job of removing thatch from my lawn. I will use mow direct in future

Good service and an excellent machine The service we received was first class.
The delivery arrived within a couple of days of placing the order
The machine was straightforward to assemble and started easily.
The build quality is good and I am sure that it will work well for many years.
We scarified 2 lawns each about the size of tennis courts, it did a great job, the only problem is collecting the huge amount of thatch that the machine takes out.
The bag for collecting the thatch is small and we found that for our purposes it was of no value.
Overall an excellent product, and great value for money.

Fantastic Machine Did so much research and eventually went for the Feider unit, added the oil as recommended and assembled the handle topped up with fuel and after 3 pulls into life it went, I set it quite high to start with and adjusted accordingly and was totally amazed at what this machine pulled from the grass, after I was done the garden looked a right mess but set the mower up to pick up only and it all looked great afterwards , what I did notice is how uniformed in height the grass looked and realised that this should have been done years ago!! and now after a few weeks it looks amazing, this unit is well made and I highly recommended it Mark

Good machine Been looking for a scarifier for a while now and with this being on offer I could not resist. The machine is good quality but like most reviews it does not come with much oil in it. I could not find anywhere what oil it takes in the manual or online. In the end I used 10w40 oil which seemed to work well. Being picky, If I was going to change anything on it. It would be the back wheels they are not on a axle and look quite flimsy but time will tell. Mow direct as a company was amazing. Great communication and super fast delivery to the Highlands. I will be buying from you again!

Excellent service particularly in these difficult times Easy to place order, delivered as notified, excellent performance, collection bag totally useless, my mower did an excellent job after scarifying lawn. Garden not very big.
A very small point as a 65yr old female , I am unable to pull starter cord as don’t have the strength for initial pull

Good product Usually hire one, but decided to buy, looked at many machines and reviews and decided for the price this was a good machine at a good price
Worked well did a good scarifying, easy to assemble and would recommend
It was not too bulky so fitting in our shed without taking up too much space.

Great piece of kit Excellent service by Chipperfield, delivered within a couple of days.
This is a serious piece of kit, easily assembled in minutes using quality components . The rake blade is awesome and digs out the most stubborn weeds and moss, even using a high setting on the blade. Out performs cheaper, lightweight electric rakes. Well worth the money and a great addition to my garden machinery.

Great machine but collection bag has such a small capacity that it is useless Well made machine, easy to assemble and use. Does a very good job of dethatching and pulling out moss from the lawn. You need to be prepared to rake up the debris as the collection bag is of very limited capacity and fills up really quickly.
Apart from this all good and at a good price.

A good machine This is a simple to use machine. No throttle, no clutch. Just start it and off it goes. The wheels are not driven, but the rotation of the blades pulls it along.
On delivery, it is easily put together, but remember to put oil into the engine before fuelling and starting.
If you've not used a scarifier before, check your lawn for stones, it doesn't like stones.

I've had mine a couple of weeks now, I've scarified my lawn, my daughters lawn and my sister in laws lawn. It starts easily and does the job well.

Pro's:
Easy to put together and to start.
Seems reliable.
Simple construction.
Does the job well.

Con's:
The pull cord for starting runs right back to the engine. An extended cord attached to the upper handle (Which is common on most lawn mowers) would be a worthwhile improvement.

A good machine. I'm very happy with it.

Awesome for the money Ordered on a Saturday after reading the reviews here and on other sites. I've had an electric lawn rake for a few years and have never really got my lawn looking decent, it does a half decent job but can't ever get all of the koss out, and doesn't get into the ground.
This machine arrived Tuesday morning, took 15 mins to put together (handles need bolting together, the rest is done). There is a tiny amount of oil in the machine as delivered but it needs you to top it up.. and then petrol is all you need before you start it. It's easy to start, you just need to set the choke switch on the carb body and it started first time for me.
I gave it a run tonight and was amazed at even the highest setting at how much thatch and moss this has removed.. at least a wheeley bin full on the first pass of my 25x60ft garden. I reckon with about 3 or 4 passes this will get every inch of moss out of the lawn, and with progressively lower settings will scarify into the lawn and make a great base for reseeding the bare patches . For the price (I bought on a deal for just under £290) this is a superb machine.. so glad I got one!

Quick job This machine deals with the moss and weeds in the lawn better than any other machine we have tried to use
Its got a bit wet now to carry on using but as soon as its dry again we will be back out on the lawn I hope we have a great green strong lawn this year

Really good Really good product

FST212 Great for the money, and copes with my 3rd of an acre very well.
