YINTATECH 60" Pine Needle Rake Tow Behind, Lawn Tractor Straw Rake Fit for ATV&Tractor, 24 Tines, Black & Gold

What It Is

The YINTATECH 60" Pine Needle Rake is a tow-behind attachment designed to collect pine needles, leaves, and light yard debris. It fits lawn tractors, garden tractors, and ATVs, using 24 spring-tension tines to rake and gather material into windrows.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Hitch Type: Requires a standard 1-7/8" or 2" hitch receiver (common on tractors and ATVs). Check your machine’s hitch class—this unit uses a 2" receiver tube but includes an adapter for smaller hitches.
• Deck Clearance: The rake is 60" wide, so your mowing deck must be narrower than 60" to avoid interference during towing. Measure from the outside of your deck tires.
• Tractor/ATV Fit: Works with most lawn tractors (e.g., John Deere, Husqvarna, Cub Cadet) and ATVs with a hitch. Not compatible with zero-turn mowers unless they have a rear hitch.
• OEM vs Aftermarket: This is an aftermarket accessory. No OEM-specific adapters are included—verify your hitch size and pin hole diameter (typically 5/8" or 3/4").

Key Things to Know

• Build Quality: 24 steel tines with gold powder coating resist rust, but some users report tines bending under heavy loads. Avoid large branches or wet, matted debris.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on assembly (no drilling required), but expect ~30–60 minutes. The tine tension is adjustable via bolts—tighten for stiffer raking, loosen for lighter debris.
• Transport Position: The rake can be raised for transport, but the included lift handle is manual. On hilly terrain, the rake may drag if not fully raised.
• Tine Spacing: 2.5" between tines—good for pine needles, but larger leaves or twigs may pass through. For fine debris, run a second pass.

Should You Buy It

If you have a large property with pine trees or light leaf cover and need a budget-friendly tow-behind rake, this is a solid pick. It’s not for heavy-duty use or rocky ground—stick to lighter, dry debris. For homeowners with a standard lawn tractor or ATV, it saves hours of manual raking.
