DT18 Features & Benefits

Productive Working Width

Whether you’re working in tight areas or tackling large lawns, Bobcat dethatchers (or overseeders) cover more ground. Command 18 inches of dethatching width with every pass, depending on the model.

Precise Blade Adjustment

A simple height adjustment lets you fine-tune your dethatcher's slicing depth. (Exact depths depend on blade type used).

4.8 hp Honda GX160 Engine

Known for its top-notch performance and reliability, this engine is ready for your toughest dethatching tasks.

Bubble Shield

The D18 features a bubble shield that prevents debris buildup under the deck to reduce unnecessary downtime and enable smooth operation.

Proven Heavy-Duty Design

Bobcat dethatchers feature a heavy-duty frame and durable construction for years of reliable service.

Easy Lift and Lower Transport Mechanism

The transport lever allows you to quickly engage or disengage the dethatcher (or overseeder) for an effortless transition from working mode to transport mode and back.

Forward Wheel Rotation

The dethatcher reels rotate forward on the down sweep, assisting operators and maximizing efficiency.

Toolless Folding Handle

The folding handle tucks quickly out of the way – without tools for a compact footprint that takes up less storage space.

Small and Lightweight

The DT18’s compact size and light weight enables easy storage and simple transportation to the jobsite.

Three Interchangeable Reels

Choose from three interchangeable reels: fixed blade, flail blade and spring tine to adapt to most any turf type.

Optional 30 lb. Seedbox

The optional seedbox allows for double-duty versatility with the DT18. After dethatching, you can also use the D18 to overseed with an optional, 30-pound seedbox.
