Tow‑behind rakes commonly attach via 2‑inch receiver hitches for ATVs/UTVs, standard hitch‑pin interfaces (around 1.18" on some models), and some accept Category 1 three‑point or quick‑hitch tractor connections.
Durability features include heat‑treated or spring steel tines, powder‑coat or anti‑rust coatings on steel frames, and individually replaceable tines to extend the tool’s usable life.
They’re marketed for dethatching overgrown lawns; removing thatch, moss, leaves, and pine needles; leveling soil; spreading mulch; and general debris cleanup.
Common mobility features include a three‑point hinge or 360° rotation on some models for easier angling, solid rubber tires (for example 8‑inch) for stable towing, and lift handles or pins for on‑the‑fly height adjustment.
Some landscape and pine‑straw rakes include individually replaceable spring‑steel tines (examples cite ~13‑inch replaceable tines), allowing worn tines to be swapped without replacing the whole tool.
