VEVOR Tow Behind Landscape Rake, 72" Lawn Dethatcher Rake with 32 Steel Tines, Attaches to Category 1, 3 Point Hitch for Tractor, Heavy Duty Tow Dethatcher for Leaves, Pine Needles, Straw, and Grass

What It Is

This is a 72-inch tow-behind landscape rake/dethatcher with 32 steel tines, designed for Category 1, 3-point hitch tractors. It’s used for dethatching lawns, removing leaves, pine needles, straw, and light debris, making it suitable for medium to large properties.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Hitch type: Requires a Category 1, 3-point hitch (standard on most compact and subcompact tractors, e.g., John Deere 1 Series, Kubota B/L series). Not for zero-turn mowers, lawn tractors, or ATVs without a 3-point conversion kit.
• Measurement check: The rake width is 72 inches. Ensure your tractor’s lift arms have at least 26 inches of spacing and can handle the weight (approx. 150-200 lbs). Measure clearance for raised transport—low-hanging rear attachments may hit on uneven ground.
• Tractor PTO: Not required—this is a ground-driven rake, so no PTO shaft or hydraulic hookup needed.
• OEM vs aftermarket: VEVOR is an aftermarket brand. No OEM compatibility issues if hitch specs match.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Steel tines are sturdy but may bend on rocky soil or thick roots. Check tine bolts after first use; some users retighten or replace with lock washers.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires basic tools (wrenches, socket set) and two people for alignment. Assembly time ~1-2 hours. No drilling or welding needed.
• Common gotcha: The 72-inch width can be too wide for narrow gates or tight spaces. Measure your storage area and access paths before buying.
• Adjustability: Tine angle and height are adjustable via the top link and lift arms. Set tines to barely touch soil for dethatching; deeper for scarifying.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a Category 1 tractor and need a budget-friendly, wide dethatcher for large lawns or fields. It’s not for precision work or tiny yards—skip it if you lack storage space or have rocky terrain. At this price, it’s a solid value for heavy-duty debris removal.
