Now, i "THINK" this will work. I ordered the equip and can tell you when i get my first thatching job.
JRCO sells what they call the "Leaf Plow". It is a large bull dozer shaped rake. It mounts on the front of larger WB and Lazer type machines. I "THINK" that this will work on claning up thatch instead of raking. It looks that it could save me hours per job.
That in mind i also have a bit of a problem. I was charging 35$ per man hour and a 25$ disposal fee for each thatching. Now i SUSPECT that i may be done in an amazingly fast amount of time. What do yall charge? I am hoping a SQ ft charge or other. I SUSPECT that i will cut 2/3 of my time off by using this machine. What would yall say?
Bad part of this equip though is that it wont fit into any small gated back yards. It HAS TO BE MOUNTED ON A LARGER MACHINE i am told. It is a weight factor. But from earlier posts i have an inkling that most of you only have big open lawns so this may not be an issue. Hope this helps ya all out.
Tell me what you think of the idea as well.
