Manual Dethatching Rake
One type of lawn tractor rake is the manual dethatching rake. These rakes are used as leaf or garden rakes. The tines are sharp and are used to pull the rake through a layer of thatch. This rake is also useful for digging up areas where the thatch is thicker.
Tow-Behind Rakes
Tow-behind dethatching rakes are another type of lawn tractor rake. This type of rake attaches to the hitch of a tractor or lawn mower. This rake is useful because it covers a wider ground area. The tow-behind rake works best when the user runs it over the lawn in a crisscross pattern.
Power Dethatching Rakes
Power dethatching rakes are a type of lawn tractor rake powered by a motor. The rake also has blades that can be height and width adjusted. These rakes can be expensive, potentially costing thousands of dollars. However, they provide greater versatility in removing or reducing thatch.
