Makita 40V max XGT 15 in. Dethatcher / Scarifier Kit (4.0Ah)
Product Overview
The Makita 40V max XGT 15 in. Dethatcher / Scarifier Kit is a cordless lawn-care machine designed to help restore tired, compacted, or thatch-covered turf. Its 2-in-1 design allows it to perform both dethatching and scarifying, helping remove accumulated thatch and moss while opening the soil so water, sunlight, air, and nutrients can reach the grass roots more effectively.
Powered by Makita's 40V max XGT brushless system, the GVU01 platform uses two battery bays with automatic switching for extended operation. The kit includes two 4.0Ah XGT batteries, a charger, a dethatching spring-tine reel, and a scarifier blade reel, providing a complete setup for lawn renovation and maintenance.
Key Features
- 2-in-1 dethatching and scarifying design lets you choose the appropriate reel for the condition of the lawn.
- 15-inch working width helps cover a substantial area with each pass.
- Brushless motor provides efficient cordless power for demanding lawn-maintenance work.
- Dual-battery system with automatic switching changes to the second battery when the first one is depleted.
- Dethatching spring-tine reel uses independently flexing steel tines to comb and lift thatch and moss.
- Scarifier blade reel uses 16 steel blades for deeper cuts through heavy thatch.
- Adjustable working depth allows the machine to be set according to lawn conditions and blade wear.
- 1.4-bushel grass collection capacity helps collect loosened lawn material during operation.
- IPX4 weather-resistant construction is designed for improved durability during outdoor use.

Dethatching and Scarifying in One Machine
The dethatching function is intended to remove surface layers of accumulated grass clippings, moss, and other organic material. Its spring-tine reel flexes independently to comb through the lawn and lift unwanted thatch.
For more aggressive lawn renovation, the scarifier reel uses 16 steel blades to make deeper cuts and pull up thicker layers of thatch. This can help improve the penetration of water, air, and nutrients into the root zone.
Adjustable Working Depth
A dial-style depth adjustment allows the operator to select the appropriate working depth for the lawn and the task. This makes it possible to use a lighter setting for routine surface dethatching or a deeper setting when more intensive scarifying is required. Makita's platform provides a working-depth range of approximately -12 mm to +5 mm.
Dual-Battery XGT Power
The GVU01 uses two 40V max XGT batteries in parallel, with automatic battery switching. When the battery currently in use runs out, the system can switch to the second installed battery without requiring a manual battery change.
The XGT platform is Makita's high-power cordless system designed for applications that traditionally rely on corded, gas, or other high-output equipment.
