Overview
VEVOR makes a range of tow‑behind dethatchers and landscape rakes that are similar in purpose but differ in width, tine configuration and how they attach to your mower or tractor. Picking the right model depends on the area you need to cover and the type of machine doing the towing.
Smaller tow dethatchers mount easily to ATVs and lawn tractors and are cheaper and easier to store, while the larger 60–72 inch rakes suit larger properties and tractors with three‑point or toolbar mounting. Tine type — spring, coil or heavy steel — affects how aggressively the machine lifts thatch and surface debris.
All four models here are built from Q235 steel and use replaceable tines. That means they’re durable, but you should expect basic assembly and occasional maintenance such as tightening pins and checking tine wear.

Buying guide
Match width to lawn size: narrow (around 40in) for small lawns and ATVs, 60–72in for larger areas. Check hitch compatibility — universal tow hitches suit mowers/ATVs; three‑point or toolbar fitment is for tractors. Consider tine type: spring tines are flexible and gentle, coil/heavy tines are stiffer for denser thatch. Weight affects towing effort and stability. Look for replaceable tines and straightforward assembly, and always confirm dimensions and pin spacing with your towing vehicle before purchase.
FAQs
How often should I dethatch my lawn?
Most lawns need dethatching every 1–3 years depending on grass type and thatch build‑up. Check your lawn in spring or autumn; if the thatch layer is more than about 1cm, dethatching is usually beneficial.
Can I tow these behind any mower or ATV?
Small universal‑hitch tow models are generally compatible with ATVs and some ride‑on mowers, but always check hitch type and pin size. Larger models listed for three‑point or toolbar attachment need an appropriate tractor connection.
Our recommended choice
For most homeowners with a ride‑on mower or ATV the 40‑inch tow‑behind dethatcher is a sensible, cost‑effective start. It’s easier to manoeuvre and store but still effective at removing surface thatch. For larger gardens or tractor owners, the 60–72in landscape rakes cover ground faster and offer more robust tine setups.
