The Agri-Fab 45-0294 48-Inch tow dethatcher is the market leader for large properties and professional users, delivering unmatched efficiency through its wide 48-inch coverage and heavy-duty steel construction. Though it carries a higher initial investment and requires a lawn tractor to tow, its per-hour productivity and adjustable depth controls make it far more cost-effective for big lawns than repeated passes with consumer electrics like Greenworks or Yardworks. For anyone managing acreage or offering lawn services, Agri-Fab’s mechanical reliability and scale trump smaller electric units.
