Does this work better than a pull behind dethatcher?

It works well when it works. It does a great job of lifting up only the dead grass. Less aggressive on the yard than a pull behind.

Don't know about a pull behind dethacher but do know about Green Works dethacher. This machine overheats in a flash--shuts down and takes forever for the tiny motor to cool down because it is encased in plastic and has no ventilation. For the very few minutes the machine works, it does a good job. However, it is in stop/cool down mode longer than it is in operational mode. It took me four hours to dethatch 500 sq. ft.

Yes it the best thatcher also for the price unless you have very serious problems.

Pull behind, meaning one that attaches to a rider? I can't say, I don't have a rider. It does however, work better than a manual type dethatcher. It does a good job on my small to medium lawn, you want to do this in the early spring or in the fall.

From my research you will need something like this kit.http://www.ebay.com/itm/181075864377?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:ITbUY A GOOD American made puller to go with it.

I don't have a dethatcher but I believe so. The web site is very adamant about it's versatility. Check Mantis.com

This type slip lead is not going to help with the pulling. I bought The Sporn Halter which works beautifully for any dog that pulls. I highly recommend it for your dog. It fits on the collar and goes behind each front leg and the control is with the legs and not the neck.

NO,NO NO, I do not recomend this at all. The power rack holds heavy weight but not for pulling, The power rack can move and that is all you need, If the power rack is bolted to the ground in cement might help. but this model is not made for that, you will need to upgrade to twice the strenght of this power rack, I hope this helps.

I would say yes. If it struggles add a snatch block and double the pull strength . It is a great winch.

No, use a puller for that purpose, these are not designed for that... The jaws are not small enough to fit behind the groove that is located on the circumference of the shaft. If you try and pull from behind the whole diameter of the pulley you will warp or break it and it will not be of any use.

I would not try it because you are trying to shock it of with a jerking motion . With the puller you have constant pressure on the item . You can spray it with something like wd40 .With pressure on the puller you can hit the end of it with a hammer to shock it off . I did this on a rear axle and brake drum it came of after 5 minutes with ease.

I am not a horticulturalist, but I believe that a dethatcher is appropriate and beneficial to use in any climate. These machines bring dead grass to the top of the lawn and that's needed in LA as well as where I live in Missouri.

Yes if you have 4 wheel and good traction. I pull many trees out with my Polaris 800. I use 4 low. The grabber works great and will not come loose.

We have been pulling by hand,- we go from camp site to dump station............ so guess it would depend on how far that would be for you.. Safe isn't an issue. More, how much energy do you have. Full it is heavy. The additional handle that you can buy is definitly worth it as it enables one to stand straight rather than stoop. It is a good product. They say one can pull behind car/truck as well. We have never had that great of a distance where we felt it necessary. We do like it. And would buy again.

This hooks behind the tractor. It is dragged by the tractor to dethatch the yard.

I've found that traction is the key to this device's performance. My 23 horsepower Kubota does a great job of pulling as as it has good traction. Tap root stumps can be challenging though. As a rule, I believe that more power is better. More power = more weight and more weight = more traction and pulling power. I think you'll be pleased with this product but will see that a bigger tractor will do more work.

We happily use it with our 4wd quad...in 4 for pulling backwards on larger items. Truck, of course, pulled better.

I put two cinder blocks on mine. The large ones with the two square holes. The tray has holes for connecting bunjees. I use the black rubber ones with metal hooks. I have a polaris ranger 500 I use to pull it but I think a descent rider will pull it just fine. I use the level 2 and it does a pretty good job. The level 3 will take up the thatch and the grass as well. The level one will only get mulched grass and leaves.

Better with impact but can be done by hand. Biggest issue is access to stud to be removed. Puller is quite large, i.e about the size of a drill chuck

Yes, there is a specialty tool that jeep recommends, but if you are a bit crafty, regular pullers will work. That's how I got mine out.
