If your lawn's looking a bit tired, discoloured and patchy due to a build-up of moss and thatch on its surface, this premium petrol scarifier from superior European brand Feider provides the perfect solution to the problem!
Its 18 sharp-tipped steel blades will gently - but comprehensively - tease-out any accumulation that might be stifling growth, in turn enabling the turf to thrive and flourish once again. With the working-depth set to a lower position, the blades will cut practically invisible slits in the ground so as to provide water, oxygen and vital nutrients with better access to the root-system.
The Feider FST212 Lawn Scarifier has been equipped with a most-powerful-in-class 212cc air-cooled four-stroke OHV engine that develops an impressive 3hp; and which features an extra-roomy 3.6-litre fuel-tank that minimises downtime and maximises productivity.
Large, 17.5cm-diameter double-ball-bearing wheels ensure a comfortable, low-effort run across rough or rolling terrain; while a sizeable 45cm working-width and capacious 35-litre thatch-catcher mean you'll be able to cover a substantial area (up to 2000m2) in quick-time.
This model gives you the choice of eight preset working-depths (-15 to +5mm), so you can select the one that's the best match for the condition of your lawn.
Further important features include a steel housing for rugged durability; and a foldable soft-grip handlebar for easy storage and improved user-comfort.
Please Note: This product currently ships with a dark grey livery (and not orange). -

Excellent Product I have hired /borrowed a number of scarifiers over the years and this product is vastly better than most of them and reasonably priced as well.
-
OK for Price Just the handles need assembling, easy job. It comes with the blades attached, I don't know if you can get or change for tines.
Started 2nd pull on recoil rope. It's not really a professional machine but I will only use it for small lawns and if looked after should be adequate for a few years!
As for it's efficiency it does the job. Light enough to load and unload from my van.
At the end of the day, does what it should. -
Great Purchase - Very Pleased We bought this to create a wildflower meadow from an existing (large) grass area. This machine was perfect for opening up the soil and removing thatch etc., to allow over-seeding.
Very fast, very powerful machine with an excellent result. Don’t bother with the catcher and be prepared to rake up a *lot* of material. -
Very Pleased & Good Customer Service Very pleased with machine but the user instructions did not relate the motor fitted to it . However, MowDirect customer services were very helpful the problem was soon explained the scarifier works very well.
The grass catcher could be a lot bigger but using it without and raking up afterwards was OK.
-
Great Machine but Poor Collection Machine is brilliant but the bag is absolutely pointless. Just use it without the bag on and rake up after. You will be stopping and starting every 3 steps.
-
Well Impressed! The machine I wanted was out of stock and MowDirect recommended this one. I wasn't sure as all my other machinery is Echo, Husqvarna etc. However, this is really impressive.
It arrived well packaged and assembly is simple; it seemed to have some oil in it but not enough so topped it up and - check this - it started first pull!
Onto the lawn to repair a 25m2 patch and the highest setting removed dead thatch and growth with ease and a lower setting raked the soil surface and flattened a few ant bumps. Seed, roll, feed and nice job done! I am well pleased and build quality is fab.
As with all scarifiers, use high settings and go over a few times, rake up the debris and just use the collection bag at the end. If I could have one feature that is missing currently, it would be to be able to disconnect the drive without stopping (and restarting) the engine. However, this was £250 and I have just ordered another Feider machine - praise indeed!
BTW delivery is by DX and 'between 8 am and 6 pm' which is a pain but is free. Very happy gardener and thanks to MowDirect for pointing me in the right direction:) -
All it is Claimed to Be Very pleased with this purchase. Ordering simple and delivery prompt. Whilst I did not 'lawn ' test other models I believe this model will do all I require to improve the lawn.
-
Very Efficient Service and delivery were very good. The scarifier is very efficient for the job required.
-
Excellent Machine Delighted with my purchase. It's a powerful, yet very easy to use machine which has allowed me to deal with a big area of lawn with little or no effort!
-
Well Specced Machine The machine duly arrived after two days from order. It took half an hour to add oil and petrol and then we were ready to get going. The scarifier on the lower settings is quite fierce and I removed much of the dried/black moss and the grass in a short period of time on the back law. On the other two lawns, I used the second setting and, although it removed much of the black moss, it left quite a lot of grass. I know that I will have to use it right through the growing season.
I would recommend purchasing the 272litre dumper bags for the amount of moss removed. I took a dozen bags off each lawn down to the tip as I didn't want to use them as compost.
A well worth machine to purchase but do think through how you are going to handle the resultant moss as there will vast quantities left over. -
Great value for the Money I bought the scarifier at the end of March, I was a bit sceptical about buying it because of the price at the time it was only £250 and most of the other scarifiers were a lot more expensive.
I can't believe how good it is. it's really good. On the negative side, like all scarifiers, the box for collecting the moss is a waste of time so don't even use it.
When I got the machine the wheel was broken, must have been damaged on transit. When I contacted MowDirect about it they offered to send me a new scarifier but I said to just send me a new wheel and changed it myself, so I was really happy with the after service, first class.
-
FST212 Great for the money and copes with my 3rd of an acre very well.
-
Value for Money I scarify my grass twice a year so didn’t want to spend loads for something that wasn’t going to be used. My neighbour has a 20-year-old £1,000+ machine which I compared to. The garden ground is very stony, the grass being laid on not very well prepared earth, I tended to use the height setting very high as, when set lower, stones were pinged and forward movement impaired.
I think I smelled the drive belt under pressure, so much so I had a look, everything OK. This was of no fault of the machine, rather my builder should have riddled my garden before he laid grass.
In conclusion, worked as well as my neighbours unit, engine made by a Chinese manufacturer of repute ( I Googled ) not a lot to go wrong really. One of the benefits of dealing with MowDirect is they can be relied upon to support their customer if anything did go pear-shaped which given my initial use seems very unlikely.
