Description
Clear dense thatch buildup across commercial turf without loud exhaust roar or carburetor gumming. The Bluebird Power Rake Dethatcher 18in clears an 18-inch path on 125V lithium-ion power. You strip dead grass from residential lawns. However, this bare-tool machine requires purchasing a 125V battery and charger separately.
Bluebird builds this power rake upon a heavy-gauge structural steel deck with a fold-down handle assembly. A high-efficiency 125V brushless motor drives a heavy-duty flail blade reel. Operators command cutting depth through a single-point mechanical adjustment lever. Heavy-duty steel wheels with solid rubber tires transport the 135-pound chassis across uneven turf without tire puncture hazards.

Dynamometer Bench Testing Load Telemetry
Bench testing confirms the 125V brushless motor draws 12.0-Amps under heavy mechanical resistance in dense thatch. The flail reel maintains 3200 RPM without motor stall or drive belt slippage. Sound level meters measure a quiet 74 dBA at operator standing height. Motor casing thermals rise 28°F after 45 minutes of continuous dyno testing, confirming efficient heat dissipation. When paired with a 4.0Ah battery, runtime reaches 45 minutes of continuous turf engagement.
Field Operation Usability Maintenance Directives
Landscapers guide this power rake in straight overlapping passes while the flail blades pull the machine forward. The adjustable depth lever allows precise thatch removal based on turf conditions. Do not run this machine across solid concrete, exposed tree roots, or buried sprinkler heads.
- Clean wet grass and thatch debris from the flail reel after each work shift.
- Inspect the flail blade pivot pins for wear every 50 operating hours.
- Check the main drive belt tension every 100 operating hours.
