The Ryan Mataway is engineered to be a dedicated commercial dethatcher and a dedicated commercial overseeder, or do both simultaneously. Heavy-duty snap-out reels let the user easily change the blade and spacing required for the task and turf conditions. The Mataway overseeder can be adjusted to provide proper seed flow. To ensure maximum germination, curved discs deliver the seed to the grooves cut by the reel knives, and raising the reel automatically stops seed flow to eliminate spillage during use.
