Harley Rake Attachments for Skid Steers

A harley rake is the fastest way to turn rough, compacted ground into a finished seedbed. The attachment uses a hydraulically driven, carbide-toothed drum to break up hardpan, pulverize clods, windrow rocks and debris to the side, and leave a level surface ready to seed — work that would otherwise take a box blade, a landscape rake, and several passes. Skid Steers Direct is an authorized Harley Rake dealer. Which model you need comes down to your machine: the M series suits full-size skid steers rated over 1,500 pounds, while the Direct Drive model fits host machines under 5,000 pounds and needs only 12 GPM. Browse the rakes below, and reach out if you'd like help matching a model to your loader.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Harley rake?

A Harley rake is a powered soil conditioner attachment that mounts to a skid steer or compact loader. A hydraulically driven drum fitted with carbide teeth spins to
break up compacted soil, pulverize clods, and rake rocks and debris into windrows, leaving a level seedbed in one or two passes. Harley Rake is a brand name that has
become the common term for the whole attachment category.

What does a Harley rake do that a landscape rake cannot?

A landscape rake is a passive tool that drags and gathers whatever is already loose on the surface. A Harley rake is powered, so the drum actively cuts into compacted
ground, breaks up hardpan, and pulverizes clods rather than simply moving them around. That makes it the right choice for lawn restoration, site prep, and finish
grading where the soil genuinely needs conditioning, not just clearing.

Does a Harley rake remove rocks?

It separates them rather than removing them. The rotating drum lifts rocks and debris to the surface and windrows them to one side, so you can collect them with a
bucket or grapple on a separate pass. Angling the rake controls which side the windrow forms on. It will not screen material the way a screening bucket does, but for
lawn and seedbed prep it clears the surface effectively.

How deep does a Harley rake go?

Working depth is typically a couple of inches, which is enough to break up the top layer and prepare a seedbed rather than to excavate. Depth is controlled by down
pressure and the machine’s float setting rather than a fixed adjustment. On heavily compacted ground the M series chain reduction drive supplies the extra torque
needed to penetrate, which is why it is specified for full-size machines.

Which Harley rake fits my machine?

Match the model to your loader’s operating capacity and hydraulic flow. The M series is built for full-size skid steers rated above 1,500 pounds and uses dual motors
with a chain reduction drive for compacted soil. The Direct Drive model suits host machines under 5,000 pounds capacity, weighs under 1,100 pounds, and needs a
minimum of 12 GPM. Send us your machine model and we will confirm the fit.
