John Deere TA-40JD 40 in. Tow-Behind Thatcherator

John Deere TA-40JD 40 in. Tow-Behind Thatcherator

The TA-40JD, more commonly known as the Thatcherator, is built with an 11 gauge steel weight tray for adding up to 100 lbs. of additional weight. Innovation at its finest, by locking down the spring tines into the aggressive mode, you gently aerate the very top layer of your lawn’s soil, while lifting out thatch all at the same time. Use to help prepare bare spots for seeding. In transport mode, the rib-tread wheels allow for crossing paved areas without damaging the tines or scratching the pavement. Tines come pre-assembled to the tray to decrease assembly time and are secured via safety wires to prevent damage to mower blades in the unlikely event of a breakage.

• Comb thatch, dead roots, and other lawn debris to the surface so water, air, and nutrients reach the active root system
• 40″ working width and 2 rows of 10 independently flexing spring steel tines provide max thatch removal; tines come preassembled to tray for fast set-up
• Wheels are offset behind tray to minimize overall width and facilitate leveling

• 3 operating modes (Dethatch, Scarify, & Transport) deliver the right height for any job; use scarifying mode for more intensive dethatching or before reseeding

• Tines come pre-assembled to the tray to reduce assembly time and are secured via safety wires to prevent damage to mower blades in the event of a breakage
