BOSCH AVR 1100 Verti Cutter Lawn Raker

Product Information

When you are using a Verticutter, you should always prevent it from damaging objects that may be laying on the ground and buried in the grass. It’s worth mentioning that by raking on a higher setting to start and trying to avoiding very long or wet grass this should avoid not putting too much strain on the motor. However, if your lawn is comprised of a fast-growing grass like Kentucky bluegrass or creeping bentgrass you may have to. It uses a reel of fourteen rotating stainless-steel blades to slice into the soil, removing thatch and moss. Top, the groomed turf is less impacted from a visual standpoint, causing little or no disruption of the turf surface.

However, filling spreaders and sprayers with moss control products or weed killers will not 100% get rid of moss on your lawn.If you’re into a serious growth period, but the layer of thatch has become more than about 1/2 inch thick, it’s time to reach for the dethatcher. Also, this stops your grass plants or lawn seeds from becoming suffocated before you plant them – so you won’t have to go through the stress of re-seeding!

The compact size really will make lawn care much easier and really makes the entire experience much less dependent on you struggling with a heavy over sized lawn rake. The verticutter utilises the process of rotating vertical blades which penetrate deep into the crown area of the plant and possibly below, severing stolons and stems. Bosch have also increased the power from 900w to 1100w as the AVR 1100 needs the extra power as it is cutting deeper into the lawn.
