Anothe alternative is to rent one for a half day for about $60. Given
that you only need to do this occasionally, if at all, depending on the
grass and conditions, I think that makes more sense than buying one.
No maintenance headaches or need to find a place to store it, etc

The reason I want to buy one as we have been dethatching occasionally
commercially and have not purchased one yet as we have been renting one and
doing several yards at a time in order to make it pay. We have enough
customers that request this so we are looking an buying one instead of
renting.

Buy whatever brand your rental store is renting. That pretty much
guarantees it will hold up to commercial use. Likely to also have local
parts and support.

I really like the BlueBird brand the most. I rent thatchers 2 to 4 times
a year and have used a few different ones. The BlueBirds have an easy
ground adjustment and the honda motors run real nice.
