Lovers of the lawn; attention! This one is for you. Presentation of the new RLA 240, the first scarifier to join the Stihl range fed by the AK battery system.
If you are a real blue Australian and you like to keep your lawn lush, clean and tidy, then you will have to get your hands on one of them. The RLA 240 offers users the possibility either to scrape the lawn using the scarifier accessory for better ventilation, or to comb the dead grass and the foam of your lawn, also called upset, using the Aerator roller. Simply fix the tool you need in a few simple steps, adjust the working depth using the continuous adjustable scale and off we go.
The ventilation of your lawn has many advantages and is done using robust fixed blades. Bring the soil compacted will help your roots to push well and deeply, thus increasing the density of your lawn by giving it a lush and full appearance. Aeration also allows humidity and nutrients to reach your roots, which is particularly important during the hottest months.
The scarification removes the “thatch” with drawn teeth, which are dead vegetable materials that accumulate over time. Even if a small amount of thatch can be beneficial for your lawn, retaining humidity and heat when necessary, it can also be harmful by preventing sunlight, humidity and nutrients to reach the roots . The best time to scarify your lawn is during Spring and fall. Be sure not to start too early in spring, because the grass must push well beforehand.
It is recommended to scarify when the soil is moderately damp but with a dry surface to the touch. If you are not sure what is happening below the surface of your floor, simply take a small shovel and make a hole in your lawn, lifting a small part of the earth so that you can assess the ground. Do it in a less visible and low-traffic place.
With a cutting width of 34 cm, the RLA 240 allows users to cover large areas while reaching the edges of each corner of your garden and is incredibly easy to maneuver.
The case is also made in the same lasting polymer as that of several mowers in the Stihl range, which means that it is incredibly robust. The height can be easily adjusted depending on the task you perform and your type of lawn, and it also has a huge grass tray with a 50 -l -resistant mesh, allowing users to finish their task effectively Without having to stop constantly to empty the bac so often. .
