STIHL RL 540 Lawn Scarifier

RL 540 Petrol Lawn Scarifier – Powerful Aeration for Larger Lawns

The STIHL RL 540 Petrol Lawn Scarifier is designed for homeowners who want strong and effective lawn improvement across medium to large garden spaces. Scarifying is a crucial part of lawn maintenance because lawns naturally accumulate moss and thatch over time, which restricts airflow and prevents water and nutrients from reaching the roots. This machine helps restore lawn vitality by removing this unwanted layer and encouraging stronger, healthier grass growth. Its powerful petrol engine provides the freedom to work without cables, offering reliable performance and smooth operation throughout the garden.

Thanks to its 38 cm working width, the RL 540 covers ground efficiently, making it suitable for larger lawns that require consistent aeration. Whether you maintain your lawn twice a year or seasonally, this machine is built to provide dependable and repeatable results.

Adjustable Working Depth for Precise Treatment

The RL 540 allows you to set the adjustable working depth directly from the handlebar. This feature lets you tailor the scarifying intensity based on lawn condition, soil type, and seasonal needs. By raising or lowering the scarifying unit, you can treat light surface thatch or dig deeper when necessary to encourage better nutrient uptake. This ensures the lawn is evenly processed and avoids unnecessary stress to the grass roots.

Scarifying at the correct depth promotes new shoot development and improves the lawn’s long-term health, making it greener, thicker, and more resilient against moss regrowth.

Fixed Blades for Effective and Consistent Results

The RL 540 is equipped with fixed scarifying blades designed to penetrate the turf and lift compacted thatch efficiently. These blades maintain consistent performance during operation, ensuring that the entire lawn surface is treated evenly. The simple and durable design reduces maintenance needs and supports reliable performance across repeated use.

Comfortable Handling and Smooth Movement

The machine features smooth-running wheels that offer excellent traction and directional stability. This makes guiding the scarifier across lawns comfortable, even over uneven ground. The wheels help distribute weight evenly, allowing you to maintain steady control without unnecessary effort. This supports accurate and careful lawn care during every pass.

The easy-start engine ensures dependable starting, whether the machine is warm or cold. Starting requires minimal effort, making the machine accessible and straightforward to use for all experience levels.

Lightweight Construction with Durable Housing

The RL 540 features a highly resilient polymer housing that is petrol-resistant and protects the engine block from UV exposure. This durable material provides long-lasting strength while keeping the machine lightweight enough for comfortable handling. The practical carry handle makes transport simple between storage areas and working locations.

Compact Storage Convenience

When the work is complete, the foldable handlebar allows the scarifier to be stored compactly. This is particularly useful for garages or sheds with limited space. The fold-down design also supports easier transport when moving the machine to and from the garden.

The STIHL RL 540 Petrol Lawn Scarifier offers a powerful, precise, and comfortable solution for maintaining healthy lawns. With correct seasonal use, it significantly improves root strength, encourages fresh growth, and creates a thicker, greener lawn that looks and feels healthier year-round.
