Scarifying with our new Stihl RL540 Scarifier

Using our new Stihl RL 540 to very lightly scarify a lawn. I a trying to use this machine as more of a verti cut machine on this lawn.
This lawn gets a large number of people on it during the wedding season, as it is the area often used for drinks receptions. We have had weddings here of over 250 people - just to give you an idea of the amount of footfall..
My aim is to do a pass with this machine at least once a month during the season, to try and lift the award and reduce the amount of grass laying flat & un-cut.
As you will see in the video, it works pretty well.

I would also like to say a very big thank you to our local machinery dealership John Miller Garden Machinery for delivering the machine to https://www.johnmillerltd.co.uk/

Here is a brief rundown of the machine.
The high-performance STIHL petrol lawn scarifier RL 540 removes moss and lawn thatch from even larger lawns quickly, conveniently and cordlessly. Driven by a powerful petrol engine, the scarifier ensures optimal lawn aeration. The scarifying unit can be conveniently set to the required working depth on the handlebar. This effective complement to your lawn care takes just a few steps per year. Proper scarifying fundamentally improves the supply of nutrients to your lawn and promotes its growth in the long term. Thanks to the working width of 38 cm and the easy-running wheels with special tread, you have all the manoeuvrability and agility you need for your twice-yearly lawn aeration with the STIHL RL 540. The sturdy polymer housing is tough enough to withstand even long-term use. For easy transport, the scarifier is also equipped with a carrying handle. The handlebar can be folded in just a few steps, so that the lawn scarifier can also be stored compactly.
