60'' Tow Behind Lawn Dethatcher, Pull Behind Pine Straw Rake with 24 Durable Spring Steel Tines & Adjustable Handle, Heavy-Duty Tow Behind Steel Pine Needle Rake for ATV, UTV & Garden Tractors, Black

What It Is

A 60-inch wide tow-behind dethatcher and pine straw rake designed for ATVs, UTVs, and garden tractors. It uses 24 spring steel tines to lift thatch, debris, and pine needles from lawns or fields.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Hitch type: Requires a standard 1-7/8" or 2" trailer hitch receiver (not a lawn tractor sleeve hitch). Verify your ATV/UTV or garden tractor has a rear receiver hitch or can accept one.
• Deck size: The 60" width is best for machines with a minimum 40" turning radius; too wide for zero-turn mowers or small tractors under 15 HP.
• Ground clearance: Ensure your tow vehicle’s rear wheels are at least 18" apart to avoid tine interference. Check that the dethatcher frame won’t bottom out on uneven terrain.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket universal part. No direct OEM replacement—works with any vehicle that has a compatible hitch and enough power to pull it.

Key Things to Know

• Tine quality: Spring steel tines are durable but can bend under heavy rocks or roots. Check for bent tines after first use; straighten gently with pliers if needed.
• Assembly required: You’ll need basic tools (wrenches, socket set). Expect 1–2 hours to attach wheels, tine bars, and handle. Instructions are minimal—look for online videos if stuck.
• Adjustable handle: The handle angle adjusts for different tow vehicle heights, but the locking pin can be finicky. Test on flat ground before heavy use.
• Weight & storage: At roughly 80–100 lbs, it’s heavy to move manually. Store upright or on a dolly to prevent tine rust.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a mid-to-large ATV, UTV, or garden tractor with a receiver hitch and need an affordable way to dethatch a wide lawn or clear pine straw over 1–2 acres. Skip it if you have a small lawn (under 1/2 acre) or a zero-turn mower without a hitch—renting or a smaller unit would be easier. At $156 with only 2 reviews, consider it a budget option with moderate reliability.
