The Auto-Rotorake is supplied fitted with a thatch removal reel which can be interchanged in seconds. Various reels are available for use with the Auto-Rotorake.

Depth of cut adjustment control mounted on the handle so that the depth can be set while moving forwards and without leaving the operating position. Careful weight distribution, pneumatic tires and a full differential provide ease of turning and maneuverability and minimise wheel marking. A large capacity grass box is available.

THATCH REMOVAL REEL
For the removal of an existing build-up of excess fibre. Comprises 24 hardened and tempered steel blades mounted to 20mm (3/4in) apart. Soft rubber washers between the blades permit flexing.

The Rotorake principle incorporates a reel of blades rotating at high speed in the opposite direction to that of the conventional cylinder mower.

The blades therefore cut upwards, continuously taking fibre away from the surface rather than pushing it into the surface. This also ensures that the machine is held to the ground and a regular working depth maintained.
