The Turf Rake is seedbed preparation equipment that rakes fine stones — from a half-inch to four inches — out of the soil so the ground is ready for any turf application. It adjusts to rake from one to six inches deep, and an optional finisher leaves a smooth, planting-ready surface. Here’s how it preps a seedbed in a single pass.
The TURF RAKE has been used to prepare soil for agriculture, golf course development and fairway seeding, and many other applications. To learn if the TURF RAKE could benefit your current project, contact our team today!
The Turf Rake removes stones from 1/2 inch to 4 inches in diameter from soil at an adjustable depth of 1 to 6 inches, while simultaneously leveling and aerating the surface. The result is a stone-free, level seedbed ready for immediate seeding.
The Turf Rake removes stones from 1/2 inch to 4 inches in diameter — the range that interferes with planting equipment, damages seed-to-soil contact, and creates uneven germination conditions.
Depth is adjustable from 1 to 6 inches. For standard agricultural seedbed prep, 2–4 inches is typical. For heavily stony or recently disturbed soil, deeper settings extract stones that would surface through frost or tillage cycles after seeding.
Common applications include agricultural field preparation for grain, vegetable, and fodder crops; golf course fairway and tee construction; sports field development; highway median and roadside seeding; and any project requiring a clean, stone-free foundation for turf establishment. In some unique use cases, the Turf Rake has been used to collect crops AFTER they’ve grown, like picking up pecans after they’ve fallen from trees–vastly speeding up the harvesting process.
Yes. The optional Finisher Assembly attaches to the rear of the Turf Rake and glides over the cleaned area, leaving a smooth, level surface after the tines pass — especially valuable for precision seeding applications where uniform seed depth and soil-to-seed contact are critical.
