  • Modular dethatcher and seeder
    Patent number: 6347593
    Abstract: A modular dethatcher and seeder includes a housing having a rear opening, a removable rear cover substantially closing the rear opening, and a plurality of tines driven by a motor to rotate about a shaft within the housing. When the device is to be used as a seeder, a seeder attachment is inserted into the rear opening of the housing in place of the rear cover. The seeder attachment can be driven by the rear wheels of the device. Alternatively, when the device is to be used as a dethatcher, a chute can be removably attached to the rear opening and a collection bag is then attached to the chute to hold debris thrown by the tines.
