MTD Lawnflite Optima 38VO Petrol Lawn Scarifier Reviews

4.5 Rating 2 Reviews
Read The Green Reaper Reviews

The Lawnflite Optima 38VO petrol lawn scarifier has a rugged steel deck with a working width of 38cm (15"). It is equipped with durable fixed tines made of special steel which ensure a thorough job, whilst the rear-mounted 50 litre debris collector catches the raked out material, making this a one pass operation, ideal for gardens around 1500 square metres in size.
Depending upon the scale of the job in hand, the working depth of the Optima 38VO scarifier can be simply adjusted via a lever mounted on the handle. This ensures you can select the correct setting for either light scarification or heavier verticutter application without the need for tools. In addition to the scarifier shaft, a dethatcher shaft is included.
The Lawnflite Optima 38VO is powered by an MTD ThorX 55H engine with easy starting thanks to the cord minder. Weighing 29kg, this petrol scarifier is comfortable to use and easy to transport and store thanks to the large 7" wheels and ergonomic, fully folding handle.

Machine works as it should but not impressed with the supplier No oil delivered with the machine contacted them twice no response to be honest if I had not used the machine by filling it with my own oil I would have sent the machine back have black marked this supplier and will never use them again and would advise anyone else to find either another supplier or another machine.

Hello Dave I have investigated this issue for you and it would appear that one of your emails replied to the automated order confirmation and so was sent to a "do not reply" email address. I can see that another, however, was sent into our sales department and unfortunately it did not get forwarded to customer services who would normally deal with after sales matters. The machine is sent direct from the manufacturer who are supposed to include complementary oil with the machine, which was obviously missed in the warehouse. Albeit you have obviously added your own oil to get the machine started, we have requested that the bottle you should have received with your scarifier is sent out to you. We pride ourselves on our level of customer service and our excellent review star ratings. Please accept our sincere apologies for not resolving this issue sooner for you. Kind regards Nicki

Arrived on time and well packed. Assembly is straight forward. General impression is that it's a solid well engineered machine. It has now been used and I can confidently say it is the best one I have used in all respects. Changing the shafts from Scarifying to Aerator takes about one minute (No tools required)
