{"product_id":"the-tine-harrow-tow-behind-dethatcher","title":"The Tine Harrow | 48-Inch Tow-Behind Dethatcher with 24 Spring Steel Tines","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.85;color:#333;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003eA lawn does not suffocate overnight. It goes slowly, under a mat of last autumn's leaves, pine needles and the flat brown thatch that settles where the mower cannot lift it. By the time the damage shows as pale patches and thinning crowns, the felted layer is already holding water and air away from the soil. The Tine Harrow is built for that layer. Forty-eight inches of working width, twenty-four heat-treated spring steel tines, and a frame that takes the weight of an ATV or a garden tractor without flexing at the welds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.85;color:#333;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003eThe engineering is deliberately unglamorous. Each tine is a three-coil spring formed to T4.5 by 195 mm, hardened so it rakes through matted debris and rides over tree roots instead of snapping. The lift handle lets the operator set depth from the seat of the towing vehicle, so a single pass can go aggressive on a neglected paddock edge and light on a fine fescue lawn. Pneumatic tyres carry the unit across gravel, ruts and side slopes. A hook plate over the axle accepts up to seventy pounds of ballast when the ground is hard and the tines need help biting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.85;color:#333;margin:0 0 18px;\"\u003eMaintenance is where most tow-behind equipment fails its owner. Here the tines are individually replaceable with hand tools, the frame is welded Q235 steel rather than stamped sheet, and the finish holds up to being parked outdoors between seasons. It weighs 38.6 pounds, which is light enough for one person to hook on and heavy enough to stay level behind a small tractor. Nothing on the unit needs a battery, a firmware update or a service contract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.85;color:#555;margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThatch is not a season.

dethatched in five years, the strip beneath two pines that fills with needles every October, the paddock edge where leaves rot into a mat. Landscapers use it as a first-pass renovator before overseeding, because scarifying by hand at that scale takes a full weekend and a chiropractor. Homeowners with a ride-on mower and a tow hitch get the same result in a morning, then store it flat against a shed wall until the next season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-promise\" style=\"margin-top:28px;padding:20px 22px;background:#f7f8fa;border-left:3px solid #1A3A5C;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:17px;color:#1A3A5C;margin:0 0 10px;\"\u003eThe EastSupplier Promise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.8;color:#444;margin:0;\"\u003eSourced directly from vetted manufacturing partners, inspected before dispatch, and priced without distributor layers.

The 1.18-inch pin spacing is the common garden-tractor standard, and the unit is light enough that a 12 hp mower handles it on level ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1A3A5C;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eQ: How deep should the tines run on a healthy lawn?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#444;margin:0;\"\u003eStart shallow. One light pass that lifts the debris without scoring the soil is enough for maintenance. On a heavily thatched lawn, take two passes at increasing depth rather than one aggressive pass, which pulls roots and leaves bare patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.7;color:#1A3A5C;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 6px;\"\u003eQ: Can I add weight for hard, compacted ground?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:15px;line-height:1.8;color:#444;margin:0;\"\u003eThe hook plate over the axle holds up to 70 pounds of ballast, which is what you want on dry, hard ground where a light unit skips across the surface.

The working edge is the coil tension; what wears is the tip, and a worn tine is replaced rather than sharpened.
