Racing RACST2540 Petrol Scarifier

The Ideal Solution for Moss, Thatch & Weed Control

If your lawn is suffering from moss build-up, excessive thatch or poor drainage, the Racing RACST2540 Petrol Scarifier is the perfect tool to restore it to its best condition.

Designed for homeowners and professional users alike, this powerful machine combines scarifying and aerating functions in one versatile unit. Suitable for lawns up to 2,000m², it helps improve airflow, water penetration and nutrient absorption, encouraging stronger, healthier grass throughout the year. It is particularly effective during spring and autumn lawn renovation programmes, as well as after periods of drought or heavy use.

Powerful Performance

At the heart of the RACST2540 is a reliable 6hp (4.5kW) easy-start petrol engine, delivering the power needed to tackle compacted soil, thick moss and stubborn thatch with ease.

The recoil start system ensures dependable starting, while the machine operates on standard unleaded petrol, making it convenient and economical to run.

Scarify & Aerate with One Machine

Featuring a generous 42cm working width and 18 heavy-duty blades, the RACST2540 quickly removes moss, dead grass and thatch while helping to aerate the soil beneath.

With six adjustable working height positions ranging from -12mm to +10mm, you can tailor the machine’s depth to suit seasonal lawn care requirements and varying grass conditions.

Benefits include:

• Improved airflow to the root system
• Better water and nutrient absorption
• Reduced moss and thatch build-up
• Healthier, stronger grass growth

Convenient Blade Engagement System

The RACST2540 is equipped with a practical blade engagement lever, allowing you to activate or deactivate the working cassette without stopping the engine.

When it’s time to empty the collector or move across pathways, simply release the lever to disengage the blades. The engine continues running, saving time and reducing unnecessary restarts while providing greater safety and control.

Durable Construction & Comfortable Operation

Built around a robust steel deck, the RACST2540 is designed to withstand regular use season after season.

Additional features include:

• Foldable handles for compact storage
• Soft-grip controls for enhanced comfort
• Double ball-bearing wheels for smooth manoeuvrability
• Stable handling across a variety of lawn surfaces

Efficient Debris Collection

A large 45-litre collection bag captures moss, thatch and other debris as you work, reducing clean-up time and helping maintain a tidy working area.

For particularly heavy moss removal, many users prefer to operate without the collector and rake the material afterwards, allowing larger volumes of debris to be cleared more efficiently.

Perfect for Medium & Large Lawns

With the capability to maintain lawns and garden areas up to 2,000m², the Racing RACST2540 is an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve lawn health and appearance with minimal effort.

Whether you’re carrying out seasonal lawn renovation or regular maintenance, this machine delivers reliable, professional-quality results.

Final Verdict

The Racing RACST2540 Petrol Scarifier offers exceptional value for money, combining powerful performance, versatile lawn care functions and durable construction in one easy-to-use machine.

If you’re looking to remove moss, reduce thatch, improve drainage and encourage healthier grass growth, the RACST2540 is a practical and effective investment for maintaining a lush, vibrant lawn all year round.

Top Tip

Keep scarified moss separate from your compost heap wherever possible. Moss spores can survive and re-establish themselves when compost is spread back onto the lawn.
