Overview
These four VEVOR models cover a range of chores: the compact 40″ tow dethatcher is aimed at small lawns and ATVs, the 60″ landscape rake sits in the middle for larger garden tractors and toolbars, while the two 72″ options are intended for heavier work behind category-1 tractors or 3-point hitches.
All are built from Q235 steel and use spring or steel tines to remove thatch, moss and dead plant material. Differences come down to working width, number and style of tines, hitching arrangement and overall mass — factors that affect how deep they work and how quickly you can cover ground.
If you have a compact mower or ATV and a modest lawn, the 40″ tow model is noticeably easier to transport and manoeuvre. For larger properties, the 60″ or either 72″ rake will save time and handle thicker debris — but they need a bigger towing vehicle and more storage space.
Read the product cards for each model for a balanced description, six key features, practical pros and cons and a short buying note to help you decide which VEVOR dethatcher fits your situation.

Buying guide
Match working width to the size of the lawn: small lawns and tight storage favour a compact 40″ tow unit; medium to large lawns benefit from 60″; large estates and contractor work point to 72″ models. Check the hitch type — universal tow hitches attach to ATVs and mowers, whereas category-1/3-point hitches require a tractor. Look at tine type and count: more and longer tines typically clear thicker thatch but also increase drag. Consider build weight and transport: heavier rakes dig deeper but need stronger towing equipment and more secure transport. Finally, confirm what’s included (hitches, pins, instructions) and check current price and delivery options before buying.
FAQs
How often should I dethatch my lawn?
Most lawns need dethatching every 1–3 years depending on grass type and thatch buildup. Inspect the turf: if you can pull out a thick mat of dead material, it’s time to dethatch.
Will a tow-behind dethatcher damage my lawn?
When used correctly a tow-behind dethatcher removes only the surface thatch. Start with a shallow setting, make multiple passes if necessary, and avoid running too fast. Heavy, deep passes can stress turf, so adjust according to soil and grass condition.
Our recommended choice
For most owners of ride-on mowers and ATVs the 40″ tow dethatcher is the most practical — compact, lighter and simple to use. If you manage a larger garden or smallholding, step up to the 60″ or 72″ rakes and choose the hitch style that matches your tractor or toolbar.
