60'' Tow Behind Lawn Dethatcher, Tow-Behind Landscape Rake, Pull Behind Dethatcher with 24 Tines, Heavy-Duty Steel Pine Straw Rake for ATV, UTV, and Garden Tractors, Black

What It Is

This is a 60-inch wide, tow-behind dethatcher designed to remove thatch, dead grass, and pine straw from lawns. It’s built for use with ATVs, UTVs, and garden tractors, offering a large working width for mid-to-large properties.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Hitch size: Requires a standard 1-7/8” or 2” receiver hitch (check your machine’s hitch class; ATVs often have 1-1/4” receivers – you’ll need an adapter).
• Weight & pulling capacity: The unit weighs about 85 lbs. Ensure your tow vehicle can handle the drag load, especially on soft ground. Garden tractors with at least 15 HP are fine; small lawn tractors may struggle.
• Deck/ground clearance: No deck interference, but verify your machine’s turning radius won’t cause the dethatcher to jackknife or scrape on uneven terrain.
• Tine assembly: 24 spring tines, fixed (not adjustable). Check if your soil type (sandy, clay) requires tine depth adjustment – this model lacks depth control.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: 2.9-star rating from 6 reviews – several note tines bending or breaking on first use, especially in rocky or hard-packed soil. Heavy-duty steel frame is decent, but tines are the weak point.
• Installation difficulty: Easy to attach (pin and clip), but no assembly instructions included. Expect to spend 30-60 minutes bolting wheels and tine bars.
• No depth adjustment: Unlike pricier models, you can’t raise/lower tine penetration. On soft lawns, it may dig too deep; on hard ground, it may skip.
• Width & maneuverability: 60” width covers ground fast, but requires wide turns. Not ideal for small, obstacle-filled yards.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a large, open lawn with light thatch, a capable ATV or garden tractor with a 2” hitch, and a tight budget. Skip it if you need adjustable tine depth, have rocky/uneven soil, or want reliable long-term performance – the low rating and tine durability issues make it a gamble for heavy use.
