Power/Harley Rake
A powered toothed roller works the surface layer, breaking up clods and moving loose stones and debris into a windrow. It prepares a surface for landscaping or reinstatement rather than excavating deeply.
When to choose it
- Preparing topsoil before turf or seeding
- Renovating gravel tracks and disturbed ground
- Gathering loose stones and surface debris
When it’s not the right call
- Deep cultivation. For loosening and mixing below the surface, a tiller or ripper may be more suitable.
- Wet, sticky soil. Saturated ground can clog the drum and smear the surface rather than form a useful seedbed.
- Buried obstructions. Large rock, roots and hidden debris need assessment or removal before surface preparation.
Sizes we work with
The size depends on your machine and the job. Share the carrier make and model, material and dimensions so we can check the setup.

The Right Setup Starts Here
Tell us what you need to get done. A few key details about your job help us specify, configure and commission the right attachment for your machine, application and site requirements.
- Ground: Soil type, moisture and loose stones or debris.
- The finish: Area, preparation depth and whether the surface is for turf, seed or reinstatement.
- Access: Working width, slopes and space for windrows and debris collection.
- Your machine: Make, model, mounting plate, rated operating capacity and relevant hydraulic or electrical controls.

Common questions
What is a Harley rake used for?
A power or Harley rake prepares soil and gravel surfaces by breaking up clods and windrowing loose stones and debris, usually before turf, seeding or reinstatement.
Power rake or rotary tiller - which do I need?
A power rake conditions and grades the surface and gathers debris. A rotary tiller mixes and loosens the soil. The finish you need and what is in the ground decide.
Can a Harley rake remove buried rocks?
It works the surface layer. Large buried rock, roots and rubble need removing by another method first.
Is a power rake good for preparing ground for turf?
Yes - preparing topsoil before turf or seeding is one of its main uses.
Will a power rake fit my skid steer or track loader?
Send us the machine make and model, mounting plate details and hydraulic flow and pressure. The power rake's weight, the loader's rated operating capacity and any electrical controls also need to match. We check the combination before it mobilises so it arrives ready to work.
