Hi guys,
I've been meaning to ask this for a while - last season I renovated a number of lawns using a Ryan overseeder. Prior to using the slit-seeder I dethatched the entire area with a Parker dethatcher (not too impressed with it). But still after each pass with the Ryan, I was leaving a pile of thatch at the end of each row, and quite a bit strawn all over the newly overseeded area.
So, I was wondering if any of you who have used the Ryan have experienced this thatchy phenomenon - and particularly, what you did to solve it.
Any input appreciated.
Oh, and the Ryan is a great machine, but what a monster to operate - huh?
