Amazon.com Product Description The Mantis aerator/dethatcher combo attachment work together to maintain a beautiful, healthy lawn. Perfect to use in compact, clay soil, the aerator cuts into the soil under the lawn with four sets of tempered steel "knives," permitting easy absorption of water, oxygen and nutrients. The dethatcher quickly removes weeds and the tan-looking built-up "thatch" that can choke lawns. The 60 spring-steel picks dethatch a 15-inch swath with a single pass.

Better than expectedDecember 3, 2008 J. R. McFarland(Lexington, SC) The detatch attachment works very well and it makes quick work out of a lawn. It appears to be a high quality implement and it did a great job dethatching my lawn. I was surprised how quickly it went. I don't think the aerator is going to be worth while, but it was basically free, so who cares!
Great attachmentSeptember 13, 2008 T. Pittman 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We just received this attachment yesterday and have put it to good use already. Working on a 1 acre lot, with lots of problem areas, these attachments worked great. We only have the Mantis tiller about 6 months and love it. The attachments were easy to put on. The thatcher amazed us with how much it pulled up, without damaging the good grass. The aerator, seems more like a slit seeder, did a nice job . This is the first time we did this on our lawn, so we will see how it looks in a couple of weeks after the new grass we planted comes in. We thought it cut a little deep, so we just worked it to keep it at a depth we preferred. Since our lawn will be an ongoing project, we thought the purchase would allow us to work on our schedule without having to rent expensive equipment, then rush to return it. We ordered on a Wednesdy night and received the package on Friday. Since Mantis offered free shipping, we ordered directly from them. We received the same price that Amazon had.
