VEVOR Tow Behind Dethatcher, 40-inch Lawn Dethatcher Rake with 20 Spring Steel Tines for ATV or Mower, Heavy Duty Tow Behind Lawn Rake with Lift Handle for Garden Farm Grass, Leaves, Pine Needles

What It Is

A tow-behind dethatcher designed for ATVs, lawn tractors, or zero-turn mowers. Its 40-inch working width and 20 spring steel tines rake thatch, leaves, and pine needles from lawns, gardens, or farms.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Hitch type: Requires a standard 1-7/8-inch or 2-inch trailer hitch. ATVs and mowers with a compatible receiver or pin-style hitch work. Check your vehicle’s hitch size and towing capacity (most garden tractors handle 100+ lbs).
• Deck clearance: Ensure the dethatcher’s frame clears your mower deck when turning. 40-inch width fits most 42-inch+ decks; smaller decks may struggle in tight spaces.
• Tine adjustment: The tines have two height settings. Test on a small patch first to avoid scalping or insufficient thatch removal.
• No OEM fitment: Universal aftermarket part—no brand-specific compatibility. Works with any vehicle that can tow and has a standard hitch.

Key Things to Know

• Assembly required: Takes 20–40 minutes. Tools needed: wrenches, socket set, and possibly a rubber mallet for pin alignment.
• Tine durability: Spring steel tines are sturdy but can bend on rocks or roots. Check and straighten after each use.
• Weight: ~45 lbs. Light enough for most ATVs and tractors, but may bounce on uneven ground. Adding a weight bar (sold separately) improves ground contact.
• Lift handle: Manually raises/lowers tines. Works fine, but no remote release—stop to adjust.

Should You Buy It

Best for budget-conscious owners of ATVs or lawn tractors with a standard hitch who need to clear moderate thatch, leaves, or pine needles from 1–2 acre lots. Not ideal for heavy-duty commercial use or rocky terrain. At $55, it’s a solid value for occasional dethatching.
