Two cylinders in one machine, and only one of them scarifies · review
A 79 cm³ petrol machine with 14 blades or 48 sprung tines, a −14 to +6 mm depth range and a 55-litre catcher.
The bottom line The most completely described machine on this shelf: 1.4 kW from 79 cm³, 38 cm, 14 blades or 48 sprung tines, −14 to +6 mm centrally, 55 litres, and both rollers plus the catcher in the box. The single-axle layout is stated as the reason it turns easily, which on a heavy petrol machine is the thing you feel.
A petrol scarifier with 1.4 kW from a 79 cm³ engine, stated as suitable for properties up to 1200 m² and independent of mains power or batteries. Moss, weed and thatch are removed so the roots can take up water and nutrients again. Scarifying and aerating are combined in one machine: the scarifying roller carries 14 steel blades and the aerating roller 48 sprung steel tines, both supplied along with the 55-litre catcher. The working depth is set centrally with a sturdy hand lever between +6 and −14 mm. The single-axle guidance is stated to make the machine easy to manoeuvre, and the impact-resistant plastic housing is shaped so plant residues settle less readily inside it.
Power, displacement, width, both roller counts, the depth range with its sign, the catcher volume and what is in the box. Nothing else on this shelf gives all of that.
It is worth saying plainly: this is a specification, and most of its neighbours are descriptions.
The deepest setting published here. On a lawn with a substantial thatch layer that is the reach that gets under it, and it is also the setting that tears roots if the machine is run there on thin thatch.
Depth is the skill in this operation. A published range is what makes the skill possible.
“Shaped so plant residues settle less readily.” That is a sentence written by somebody who has cleaned one out.
A scarifier throws wet, matted material backwards through its own body, and the inside of the housing is where a season’s work accumulates. It is not a figure and it does not appear in any comparison, and it is the difference between a machine that works next spring and one that has to be dug out first.
A positioning statement rather than a limit. The real constraint on a petrol scarifier is the time: overlapping passes, a catcher filling every few minutes, and the raking afterwards.
From 279 € to 345 €, that being the spread across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores on the day of the survey.

It is the widest spacing here — roughly one every 2.7 cm, against one every 2 cm on the electric machines. Fewer blades cut fewer lines per pass and meet less resistance, which on a petrol machine with power to spare is a different balance rather than a deficiency.
Sprung tines comb rather than cut, so each one meets very little resistance and a dense set lifts more material per pass. Three times the count of the blade roller is the normal ratio.
The same as any petrol garden machine: the fuel dealt with rather than left. Run it dry or fill and stabilise; half a tank of untreated petrol from October to April is what blocks a small carburettor.
A large lawn out of reach of a socket, scarified properly once or twice a year
