1 Question

Q: How does this hook up to a Bolens 22 HP B&S 46" deck. Is it in the rear pulled behind or somehow attached to the front?
by Mark O. Pruitt from Missouri on April 20, 2015

A: Mark - the Agri-Fab 45-0457 dethatcher is not designed to be attached directly to a riding mower. You would need to tow it behind your riding mower using the Smart Link platform.

The Dethatcher Is Too Wide To Fit In The Universal Frame.

Works well after a couple hours after finally getting re-assembled to fit the frame.

Pros: Easy To Use, Light Weight, Easy To Store

Cons: Bad Instructions, Need To Redesign To Fit The Frame, Need, Redesi

Oops!!!

Major design or fabrication flaw!! This unit will not fit to the base unit. After assembly, it is at least 1/4" too wide, and will not nest inside the base unit flanges. Also, the tow bars tend to worsen the situation by bending the base unit flanges inward.

Having an engineering background, I can do some modification operations (i.e.: create slots where mounting holes are, in order to slide the base unit mounting flanges outward enough to accept the dethatcher unit). More work than... more

"Despite the problem with the dethatcher design, the quality of the material used, and the idea of the base unit and attachments is great. Hope this problem can be corrected in the future."
