STIHL RL 540 Lawn Scarifier

RL 540 Petrol Lawn Scarifier – Effective Aeration for Larger Lawns

The RL 540 Petrol Lawn Scarifier is designed for gardeners who want to restore and maintain healthier lawn growth across medium to large lawn areas. Over time, lawns naturally develop moss and thatch, which restrict airflow and limit nutrient and water absorption. This can weaken grass, encourage patchiness, and create dull lawn appearance. The RL 540 helps reverse these issues by removing compacted debris and opening the soil structure, allowing grass roots to grow stronger and absorb essential nutrients more effectively. Powered by a reliable petrol engine, the machine operates cordlessly, offering unrestricted movement across any garden.

With a 38 cm working width, the RL 540 covers more ground in fewer passes, making it especially suitable for lawns that benefit from thorough seasonal or twice-yearly scarifying. This ensures consistent improvement with reliable, repeatable results every time.

Adjustable Working Depth for Tailored Lawn Treatment

The scarifier features an adjustable working depth that can be controlled directly from the handlebar. This allows precise adjustment to suit lawn condition, whether lifting light thatch or tackling deeper compacted layers. By raising or lowering the scarifying unit, users can treat the lawn accurately without risking unnecessary root disturbance. This flexibility encourages healthier root development and strengthens the lawn’s long-term resilience against moss regrowth. Proper depth control ensures the lawn is evenly processed, supporting thicker and greener grass growth over time.

Fixed Blades for Reliable Scarifying Performance

The RL 540 uses fixed scarifying blades engineered to penetrate turf effectively and lift material cleanly. These blades maintain consistent engagement with the surface, allowing the machine to treat the lawn uniformly. The durable blade design reduces maintenance and supports long-lasting efficiency. Continuous blade contact helps prevent uneven treatment and ensures reliable results across multiple seasons.

Smooth Handling and Comfortable Operation

The machine is fitted with smooth-running wheels that offer excellent stability and traction across varied ground conditions. This ensures easy manoeuvring while reducing strain on the operator. The wheels help maintain steady forward movement, supporting careful and controlled treatment during every pass. The easy-start engine allows quick and reliable starting in both cold and warm conditions, requiring minimal effort from the user. This makes operation straightforward for users of any experience level.

Durable Lightweight Housing for Longevity

The RL 540 is built with a high-strength polymer housing that is petrol-resistant and provides protection against UV exposure. This robust construction ensures long-term durability while keeping the machine lightweight enough for easy handling. The practical carry handle allows quick lifting and repositioning between use and storage.

Compact Storage After Use

Once the lawn work is complete, the foldable handlebar allows the machine to be reduced in size for compact storage. This is particularly useful for smaller sheds or garages and also supports easier transport.

The RL 540 Petrol Lawn Scarifier delivers powerful lawn rejuvenation, supporting strong root development, improved growth, and a consistently healthier, greener lawn throughout the growing season.
