Overview
These four VEVOR models share the same basic purpose — removing thatch, moss and surface debris to help turf recover and breathe — but they differ in width, tine count, mounting style and build weight. That matters because it affects how much ground you can cover in a pass and whether you need an ATV, lawn tractor or three‑point hitch.
Start with the 40‑inch model if you have a smaller lawn, a lightweight mower or want something easy to manoeuvre and store. The 60‑inch option gives wider coverage and heavier tines for general landscape work, while the two 72‑inch variants suit larger areas and tractor mounting — one is a lighter tow type, the other a heavy 3‑point implementation with more tines and a sturdier frame.
Consider how you plan to attach the dethatcher: simple tow hitches work with ATVs and many lawn tractors, but three‑point hitch models are intended for full‑size tractors and give stronger, more secure mounting for heavier work. Also weigh tine type and count: more—and longer—tines generally mean deeper, faster dethatching but can increase draft and wear.

Detailed reviews
#1 VEVOR Tow Behind Dethatcher, 40-inch Tow Dethatcher with 20 Spring Steel Tines, Lawn Dethatcher Rake for ATV or Mower, Tow Behind Lawn Rake with Lift Handle for Garden Farm Grass
This 40‑inch tow‑behind dethatcher from VEVOR is a lightweight, budget‑oriented option for homeowners with small to medium lawns. It uses 20 spring steel tines to loosen thatch and surface debris, and a bottom plate with a universal hitch lets it attach to many ATVs and ride‑on mowers. Construction uses Q235 steel for the main components; the unit includes a lift handle to make hooking up and moving it easier. Because it is relatively light, it’s simple to store and manoeuvre but best suited to lighter dethatching tasks rather than heavy commercial use.
Key features
- Working width: 40 inches (1015 mm)
- 20 spring steel tines, 7.9" length
- Frame material: Q235 steel
- Lift handle for easy hookup and storage
- Universal bottom plate hitch to fit many tow bars
- Product weight around 15.8 kg (light and portable)
#2 VEVOR Tow Behind Landscape Rake, 60" Tow Dethatcher with 21 Steel Coil Tines, Lawn Dethatcher Rake Attaches to 48" or 60" Toolbars and 3-point Suspension Systems, for Leaves, Pine Needles, and Grass
The VEVOR 60‑inch tow dethatcher is a mid‑range choice for gardens, paddocks and smaller estates. It uses 21 steel coil tines sized to tackle leaves, pine needles and surface thatch more assertively than lighter spring tines. The design accepts common toolbar connectors and can work with simple 3‑point suspension systems in some installations, giving flexibility for different tow vehicles. At about 30 kg it’s heavier than the 40‑inch model but still transportable by two people, and the replaceable tine arrangement helps with long‑term maintenance.
Key features
- Working width: 60 inches (1524 mm)
- 21 heavy‑duty steel coil tines
- Tine dimensions approx. 9.5" x 11.4"

#3 VEVOR Tow Behind Landscape Rake, 72" Tow Dethatcher with 32 Steel Tines, Lawn Dethatcher Rake Attaches to Category 1, 3 Point Hitch for Tractor, for Leaves, Pine Needles, Straw, and Grass
This 72‑inch VEVOR model widens the working swathe considerably and increases tine count to 32, making it suitable for larger lawns, paddocks and grounds maintenance. Although described as a tow landscape rake, it’s built to attach to Category 1 three‑point hitch systems as well, providing a secure mount on small tractors. The spring‑tine design offers a balance between aggressive dethatching and protecting turf while the replaceable tines and Q235 steel construction support long‑term use. It’s heavier than the 60‑inch variant but remains a practical choice for estate owners who need efficiency without the weight of heavier industrial machines.
Key features
- Working width: 72 inches (1830 mm)
- 32 spring steel tines for broad coverage
- Compatible with Category 1 three‑point hitch

#4 VEVOR Tow Behind Dethatcher, 72-inch Tow Dethatcher with 36 Steel Tines, 3-Point Lawn Dethatcher Rake with Attachments for Tractor, Landscape Rake for Garden, Farm, Grass
The 72‑inch three‑point VEVOR dethatcher is the most robust option in this line‑up. With 36 steel tines and a heavy frame, it’s designed for tractor mounting and heavier work such as thicker thatch, straw or debris on larger properties. The three‑point attachments provide a secure connection and stable operation at higher towing speeds or on undulating ground. At a substantially higher weight, this model is aimed at contractors or landowners with full‑size tractors rather than domestic ride‑ons. Its replaceable steel tines and strong pin spacing reflect a build intended for sustained, heavier use.
Key features
- Working width: 72 inches (1830 mm)
- 36 heavy steel tines for aggressive dethatching
- Three‑point hitch dimensions specified for tractor mounting
- Heavy‑duty Q235 steel construction
- Product weight significantly heavier (approx. 81.5 kg)
- Replaceable steel tines with standard pin spacing
Buying guide
Decide on three things first: how wide a swathe you need to cover per pass; what attachment/hitch your vehicle supports; and how aggressive a dethatch you require. Smaller lawns and lighter mowers benefit from compact, lighter models; larger estates or commercial use demand wider, heavier machines and often a three‑point hitch. Look for replaceable tines, a robust main frame (Q235 steel is common), and a clear method for adjusting or lifting the tool when not in use. Finally, check the retailer pages for delivery, warranty and whether any assembly is needed.
FAQs
Do I need a tractor for a 72‑inch dethatcher?
Not always. Some 72‑inch models are tow‑behind designs that can attach to large ride‑on mowers or ATVs; heavier three‑point hitch versions are intended for tractors and offer stronger mounting for heavy work.
How often should I dethatch my lawn?
Most lawns only need dethatching once a year or less, typically in early spring or autumn. Overdoing it stresses the grass; assess thatch depth (more than 1cm is a concern) before deciding.
Our recommended choice
For most domestic users with smaller gardens or a ride‑on mower the 40‑inch VEVOR tow dethatcher is the easiest, most economical starting point. If you manage larger lawns or need a more robust tool for varied debris, step up to the 60‑ or 72‑inch models and match the mounting type to your tractor or ATV.
