York Rakes for Tractors

A great landscape rake is one with super strong tines as the tines are what makes the rake a rake in the first place. The tines need to be strong enough and flexable enough to allow spring action as they move along the ground. The tines need this spring action to help prevent from collecting dirt and allow the rake to gather more debris.

The York rake I have is the pull behind unit with gage wheels.

The biggest thing/trick I've found when using the rake is to go faster. When the blade is angled, you'll want more speed to get the rocks rolling and off the windrow side of the teeth faster. It's like pushing/pulling snow with a plow. If you go slow, it'll build up in front of the blade. Faster and it'll roll off the side.

The dryer the ground, the better. If it's wet, the dirt may/will have a tendency to build up in front of the blade as opposed to break up and go through the teeth. When this happens, it's acting more like a blade than a rake and will allow the rocks to accumulate.

Watch out for rocks that are 3/4 buried. If a rock is buried where the top is exposed but not enough for the rake to grab it, that'll cause jumping. These, unfortunately, will need to be dug up by hand.

Lastly, is be patient. It'll take a couple (or more) passes (depending on what you want for the finished product). As the rake goes over a plowed/disked area, it'll continue to smooth it out as well. The smoother it is, the easier the rocks will roll off the edge of the rake. Mine is a 4' and I tow behind an ATV. For a lawn area, I may go over it 5 or 6 times but it's still a heck of a lot faster than hand raking.
