The Handy THTD 40" Towed Tine Dethatcher
For anyone running a ride-on or garden tractor with a large lawn to maintain, a towed dethatcher transforms what would be an exhausting manual job into a quick, efficient pass across the lawn. The THTD's ten 100mm spring-loaded metal prongs penetrate to soil level across a 40" working width, pulling out moss, thatch, and lateral rhizome build-up that blocks light, water, and nutrients from reaching the grass roots.
The spring-loaded tines flex on contact rather than dragging rigidly through the ground, which improves tine longevity and maintains consistent penetration across uneven surfaces. The built-in weight tray allows additional ballast to be added when deeper penetration is needed on compacted or heavily thatched lawns. For best results the manufacturer recommends working in a crisscross pattern across the lawn to ensure thorough coverage in both directions.
At 15.38kg with large solid wheels and a transport handle, it's straightforward to move and position when not attached. The universal hitch pin connects to most garden tractor makes and models — note the tow hitch height requirement of 14-17cm.
