The \u003cstrong\u003eRacing RACST2540 Petrol Scarifier\u003c\/strong\u003e is built to strip out the moss, dead grass and thatch that smother healthy growth — clearing the way for air, water and nutrients to reach the roots. Scarify in spring and autumn and you give your lawn the reset it needs to come back thicker, greener and stronger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePetrol power for bigger lawns\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 6HP (4.5kW) easy-start petrol engine drives the RACST2540 through compacted soil, thick moss and stubborn thatch without stalling. There's no cord to trip over and no battery to run flat — just fill up with standard unleaded, pull the recoil start and work through lawns of up to 2,000m² in a single session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScarify and aerate in one pass\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA generous 42cm working width and 18 heavy-duty blades lift moss and thatch to the surface while opening up the soil beneath. Six height positions, adjustable from -12mm to +10mm, let you set a gentle grooming pass or a deep renovation cut to suit the season and the state of your lawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBetter airflow and drainage to the root zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved water and nutrient uptake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess moss and thatch build-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThicker, healthier grass growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWork without stopping the engine\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA handy blade engagement lever lets you disengage the cassette to empty the collector or cross a path, then re-engage it — all without shutting the engine down. It saves time, avoids needless restarts and gives you more control as you work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to last, easy to store\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA robust steel deck stands up to season-after-season use, while double ball-bearing wheels keep the machine rolling smoothly across uneven ground. Soft-grip, foldable handles make it comfortable to guide and compact to store away when the job's done.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTidy collection as you go\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 45-litre collection bag gathers moss and debris as you scarify, cutting down on raking and clean-up. For heavy moss removal, many gardeners prefer to run without the collector and rake afterwards to shift larger volumes in one go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTop tip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep scarified moss out of your compost heap where you can. Moss spores can survive composting and re-establish themselves once the compost is spread back onto the lawn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Racing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57334301458805,"sku":"RACST2540","price":269.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/0004\/5735\/files\/Racing-RACST2540-Main-Image.png?v=1782980414","url":"https:\/\/www.mowdirect.co.uk\/products\/racing-racst2540-petrol-scarifier-aerator-42cm-6hp","provider":"MowDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
