60-Inch Tow-Behind Landscape Rake, Heavy-Duty Steel Dethatcher & Pine Straw Rake for ATV, UTV, and Garden Tractors

What It Is

This is a 60-inch wide tow-behind landscape rake that functions as a dethatcher, pine straw rake, and general ground leveler for ATVs, UTVs, and garden tractors. It’s designed for clearing debris, thatch, and leaves from large lawns or fields, not for finish mowing or fine grading.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these:

• Hitch type: Requires a standard 2-inch receiver hitch (common on ATVs, UTVs, and garden tractors). If your vehicle has a 1-1/4-inch or 1-inch receiver, you’ll need an adapter.
• Vehicle weight & power: Best for machines with at least 300–400 lbs towing capacity and 15–20 HP. Light ATVs or small garden tractors may struggle to pull it through thick thatch.
• Width clearance: The 60-inch rake is wider than most ATVs and tractors. Ensure your pathways, gates, and storage area can accommodate it.
• No brand-specific fit: This is a universal aftermarket accessory. No OEM compatibility check needed, but confirm your hitch height matches the rake’s tongue (typically adjustable).

Key Things to Know

• Assembly required: Expect 30–60 minutes of bolt-together assembly. Tools needed: wrenches, socket set, and possibly a drill for pin holes.
• Weight & transport: At roughly 80–100 lbs, it’s manageable for one person but awkward. A hitch pin lock is recommended to prevent detachment on rough terrain.
• Adjustable tines: Tine angle and depth are adjustable, but the adjustment mechanism can be stiff. Lubricate moving parts before first use.
• Not for fine grading: The steel tines are aggressive. Use for heavy thatch, pine straw, or rocks—not for smoothing soil or seedbed prep.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a medium-to-large property (1+ acres) with heavy thatch, pine needles, or debris, and you own a capable ATV, UTV, or garden tractor with a 2-inch hitch. It’s a good value for a heavy-duty steel rake under $250, but skip it if you need precise grading or have a lightweight machine under 15 HP.
