Garvee 60'' Tow Behind Lawn Dethatcher,24 Durable Spring Steel Tines Lawn Dethatcher, Tow Behind Steel Pine Straw Rake Designed to Lawn and Garden Tractors, Black

What It Is

The Garvee 60’’ Tow Behind Lawn Dethatcher is a tow-behind attachment that uses 24 spring steel tines to rake out thatch and loosen debris from your lawn. It’s designed for use with lawn and garden tractors, not zero-turn mowers or push mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Hitch type: Requires a standard 1-7/8 inch or 2 inch trailer hitch (not a lawn tractor clevis pin). Most garden tractors with a rear hitch ball will work.
• Deck size: The 60-inch working width matches most 48- to 60-inch mowing decks. Measure your mower’s rear clearance—this unit is wide and may overhang on compact tractors.
• Tractor brand: Fits most major brands (John Deere, Cub Cadet, Husqvarna, etc.) as long as they have a rear hitch ball. No specific OEM adapter needed.
• Weight: 70 lbs. Light enough for a 15+ HP garden tractor, but may bog down a 12 HP lawn tractor on thick turf.

Key Things to Know

• Assembly required: You’ll need basic tools (wrenches, socket set). Assembly takes 30–60 minutes; instructions are minimal, so check online videos.
• Tine quality: Spring steel tines are durable but can bend if you hit rocks or roots. They’re replaceable individually.
• Depth adjustment: Fixed depth—no lever to change tine aggression. For heavy thatch, you may need to make multiple passes.
• Transport: The unit has no wheels, so it drags on the tines when not in use. Disconnect or lift it for storage.

Should You Buy It

Buy it if you have a garden tractor with a rear hitch, a lawn over 1/2 acre with moderate thatch, and you don’t need adjustable tine depth. Skip it if you have a zero-turn mower, a small yard, or need to dethatch delicate grass types without risking tine damage. For $170, it’s a budget-friendly option that works well for basic thatch removal.
