An organic grass will not have as much thatch as one that is fed fertilizer. The reason is that fertilizer really messes up the grass's capability to get rid of it's thatch quickly.
So, if you use fertilizer, dethatch each year in the early spring or fall. Hope this helped a little even tho you are looking for a decent setup for your ZTR.
Something else about Detatching just popped into my mind. My front yards is largely St Augustine. My first thought about running a detatcher through St Augustine is that the tines might pull it all up, thereby destroying the grass.
Anyone with thoughts on this issue......???
That's why I am not a fan of the push of drag kind it kinda can dig deep you don't much control
Thanks .... The more I read about detatching, the more I feel I need to look into the grass seriously. I may not need the service....

Hi all,
So I recently bought a Bobcat 52" FastCat Pro with the Kawasaki FX651V engine and Hydro-gear 3100. I am looking at getting a front de-thatcher. Any recommendations for brand? size? features?
Thanks,
Joe
