Buy Greenworks DT13B00 Dethatcher and Scarifier – 13 Amp, 14 in, Quick Release 2 in 1

Description

Greenworks sells two kinds of dethatcher: the single purpose 27022, and this one. The greenworks dt13b00 is the renovation machine: a 13 amp motor at 3,200 RPM, a 14 in path, and two working cylinders that swap on a quick release with no tools. The dethatcher cylinder carries stainless steel spring tines; the scarifier cylinder carries 20 slicing blades for cutting seed slots into the surface.

Depth adjusts across the range the manual lists from -7/16 in to +1/4 in, a rear collection bag catches the debris, and the handles fold down for storage. At 28.2 lb it is the heaviest Greenworks here, and it earns the weight: this is the model aimed at lawns being rescued and reseeded, not just maintained.

Key Features

Quick release cylinder swap

The headline feature. The dethatcher and scarifier cylinders exchange in seconds on a quick release fitting, with no tools and no belt work. On a renovation day that means dethatch the whole lawn, swap heads at the truck, and scarify the same afternoon without a second machine.

13 amp motor, 3,200 RPM

The strongest motor Greenworks puts in a corded dethatcher, geared lower than the 27022 and driving the blade cylinder with real authority. Scarifying is the heavier work, and this is the motor built for it.

Stainless tines and a 20 blade scarifier

The dethatching cylinder uses stainless steel spring tines (18, with a bonus set included in most retail packs), and the scarifier runs 20 fixed blades. Both cylinders are stainless, so neither rusts dull in a damp shed between seasons.

Rear collection bag

Unlike the 27022, the DT13B00 bags as it works, gathering the lifted thatch at the rear so the finished pass is a clean pass. Greenworks does not publish the bag capacity; in practice it is sized for maintenance and moderate rescue work, and heavy first passes will still fill it often.

Foldable handles and push button start

The handles fold for flat storage, the machine starts on a button with a bale switch, and an integrated cord lock keeps the extension cord from unplugging itself at the far end of the lawn.

Product Description

The Greenworks DT13B00 (model DHA103) is a corded electric 2 in 1 dethatcher and scarifier, 28.2 lb, with 8 in front and 6 in rear wheels and a 3 year warranty. It is the natural step up inside the Greenworks line: everything the 27022 does, plus scarifying, bagging and a stronger motor.

Owner feedback highlights the cylinder swap as the feature that justifies the price, along with the bag for keeping renovation debris under control. The fair criticisms are its weight, the heaviest of the corded Greenworks pair, and a depth lever whose marked positions (3 on the retail listing, with the manual quoting the full -7/16 in to +1/4 in range) take a test pass to learn. Neither is a deal breaker for the renovation work this machine is bought for.

Benefits of Using This Product

• Tool free quick release swap between dethatching and scarifying
• 13 amp motor drives the blade cylinder with genuine force
• Stainless tines and blades shrug off shed rust between seasons
• Rear bag keeps lifted thatch off the finished surface
• Foldable handles and cord lock finish a tidy storage story

How to Use

Mow short and measure your thatch before choosing a head. For a rescue and reseed, run the dethatcher cylinder first on a middle depth, rake or bag the debris out, then swap to the scarifier cylinder and make the seed slot pass at a shallower setting, in a crosshatch only where the lawn is thinnest. Sow seed the same day so it falls into the slots, and keep the surface damp until germination. Learn the depth lever on a test strip: the marked positions are coarse, and the difference between combing thatch and scalping crowns is one notch.

Why Choose the Greenworks DT13B00?

Choose the greenworks dt13b00 when the job is renovation rather than maintenance and you want one corded machine to run the whole sequence: dethatch, scarify, seed. The quick release swap is the fastest in this group, the motor is the strongest Greenworks offers here, and the bag keeps the work site civilized. Maintenance only lawns can save money with the 27022.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the Greenworks 27022?

The 27022 is dethatcher only, with no bag and a longer 4 year warranty. The DT13B00 adds a scarifier cylinder on a quick release, a rear collection bag and a stronger 13 amp motor, with a 3 year warranty.

Does it include both cylinders?

Yes. The dethatcher cylinder with stainless spring tines and the 20 blade scarifier cylinder are both in the box, and most retail packs also include a bonus set of tines.

Can the scarifier replace core aeration?

No. Scarifying cuts surface slots for seed contact. Compaction deeper in the profile still needs a core aerator that pulls plugs, as our dethatching guide explains.

Is the bag big enough for a rescue job?

It handles maintenance and moderate work well. On a heavy first rescue, expect to empty it often, or run the worst sections bagless and rake up, which is standard practice.

Final Verdict

The DT13B00 is the most complete Greenworks in this group: two stainless cylinders, a tool free swap, a bag and a 13 amp motor, sized for the full dethatch and reseed program. If your lawn is being rebuilt rather than maintained, this is the Greenworks to buy.

Greenworks DT13B00: Care and Storage

The quick release cylinders on a greenworks dt13b00 make care easy: pop each head off, brush it clean, and check the 20 scarifier blades for edge damage. Store your greenworks dt13b00 with the handles folded in a dry corner, and keep the collection bag emptied so it does not hold moisture against the deck. A greenworks dt13b00 looked after this way keeps both of its jobs, dethatching and scarifying, sharp for years.

Q: How long does it take to swap cylinders on a greenworks dt13b00?

A: About a minute. The greenworks dt13b00 uses a quick release, so no tools are needed to change between the tine and blade heads.

Still deciding? Our guide on how to dethatch a lawn walks through measuring thatch first, choosing between a rake, a power rake and core aeration, and the rental checks that matter, so you can match the machine to the lawn in front of you.
