Stihl RL540 Lawn Scarifier

The Stihl RL540 is a powerful scarifier with a 15” (38cm) working width that is ideal for removing thatch and moss from lawns.

Like most scarifiers, the RL540 is hand propelled but by reason of the scarification action, very little effort is needed to operate this machine.

In order to ensure efficient scarification, Stihl have used a row of 7 double blades that can achieve a working depth of 25mm to ensure that even the thickest carpet of moss and thatch can be removed with ease.

A simple-to-use dial on the handle means that the scarification depth can easily be set to one of six pre-set depths allowing you to set the most suitable scarifying depth for the conditions and to compensate for blade wear.   

The blades are housed in a robust yet lightweight polymer chassis and power is provided by an easy starting Kohler XT675 Series OHV engine.

An optional catcher bag can be purchased as an accessory to save you from collecting the debris once you’ve finished.

When the scarifying is done, the handles can be folded for easy storage.
