Questions and Answers for Razor-Back 30 in. Aluminum Landscape Rake

A:  No

A:  Technically you could, but not really. You would spend hours and not get good results. Rent a gas powered dethatcher or buy an electric one. I recommend buying an electric one.

A:  It might, but it is more of a grading an moving lose soil device. It has aluminum teeth that I think would bend or break. I think a steel metal rake would do better.

A:  Yes, it's a very good quality tool. Works great for dethatching your yard and leveling it.

A:  This would do the job but the teeth might bend on you if your trying to pull up and weeds.

A:  I don't think this would work well for that. The tines will load up quickly and not pick up many sticks. You probably need something with 10-20" long tines, more designed for your purpose

A:  I don't think this would work well for that. Maybe hire a local kid. This would just rip up your land and all the tines would bend

A:  Yes it will because is wider than most

A:  Hi NVR4get I would not purchase this rake with what you described its great to level out land like top soil and spread around mulch its not to be used on a finished lawn. Hope that helps and answers your question

A:  yes this would work great for you with what you described

A:  Yes, it worked really well. Very sturdy and dependable.

A:  No, I think it would just dig into the lawn unless that is what you want. You can do it if you have grass that spreads by rhizomes or you could reseed. I hope my answer is understandable because I don't exactly know what type of grass you have and what is the make up of the soil. I am a landscaper and when I come across a bumpy lawn I just add a little bit of sand like quarter of an inch every month. Over time it gets into the low spots and levels the lawn. If you got lots of bumps and they are due to soil not thatch as you said existing soil then I would consider cutting your lawn to about soil level, smooth soil however you like and reseed or let grow again depending on the grass type

A:  It depends on how hard the ground is. We need to rent a rototiller to loosen the dirt first. Then we were able to move our soil/clay around with the rake. The prongs of the rake were nice and solid, though, compared to a leaf rake.

A:  You would have to fill in the low spots with more dirt, or depending how big the bumps are, turn over the dirt with a shovel or a roto-tiller.

A:  Not sure what your gathering but I've used it to clean up lots of acorns

A:  Not much of a rake for leaves but does great if your gathering small rocks while smoothing a yard for planting grass or sod.

A:  The tines are too short and stiff for leaves.

A:  Flat side. I use tine side for cleaning

A:  The Tyned side is for spreading the flat for leveling

A:  I use the time side for spreading the top soil and then the flat opposite to level.

A:  Thats not as simple to answer as it might appear. I have been using LS Rakes for a long time now. Basically you have a smooth straight side for leveling and pulling some dirt where you need it. It's definitely the smoothing side. The other side is to pull an amount of dirt where you need it and you will use the other side to smooth it. The teethed side also brings rocks, chunks, and debris with it. Sometimes you can break up the chunks of dirt, but have to toss the rocks and debris if you are prepping for a lawn or just want to remove rocks & debris. Really both sides will spread soil, one more than the other, and the straight side for smoothing. I don't call it leveling but it is really smoothing soil. Perfectly leveling soil takes a lot of smoothing.

A:  It can be taken off

A:  It probably can come off in some particular way, I think I remember seeing a nut near some arms from the head of the rake outside ends come up and attach to the handle.

A:  Yes. The bolts are removable

A:  The handle length is 66 inches.

A:  No. I think its more for smoothing out top soil and removing small rocks. That is what I used it for

A:  I wrote down several things and deleted them. This really is not intended to be a rake for what you want it to do. It is just not heavy duty. It is made of aluminum. It is made to smooth and level unpacked soils, small gravel, mulch, or sand, an inch or two at a time. You could try it, maybe it would work, but you have better choices for removing sweet gum balls.
