The Thatch, Groom ‘N’ Sweep package, an attachment system designed for zero-turn mowers from TurfEx, Madison Heights, Mich., can be converted from a sweeper to a dethatcher. Models MT480 and MT600 are available in both 48- and 60-in. widths, respectively, and use a universal mount. The attachment includes two rows of brush sections, which can be replaced with spring-mounted tines to turn the sweeper into a dethatcher. The attachment can be used for both grooming and debris cleanup applications, and the polypropylene brushes work in forward and reverse. The dethatcher tines are designed to keep turf damage to a minimum, the company says. The unit includes support wheels with adjustable height.

In 1983 a first appraisal well was drilled on the west flank, but this found water.
