Mini Skid Steer Landscape Rakes

A mini skid steer landscape rake pulls rocks, roots, and debris out of soil and leaves a level, seedbed-ready surface, on sites a full-size machine cannot reach. Established backyards, side yards, and anywhere the gate sets the limit are exactly where it earns its place. The rake here pulls rocks from roughly 2 to 8 inches and conditions the soil as it works. It is offered with either a solid bucket or a screening bucket, so what it gathers is collected and carried off rather than left in a row for a second pass. Keep width suited to the machine, since weight out front hurts stability on a short wheelbase.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mini landscape rake used for?


It is the finishing tool in site preparation on tight sites. After rough grading, the rake pulls rocks, roots, and debris out of the top layer of soil while leaving a level,
evenly textured surface ready for seed or sod. On a mini machine it also suits gravel path upkeep and cleanup after small demolition in yards a larger loader cannot
enter.


What size rocks will it pull?


The rake in this collection is built to pull rocks from roughly 2 inches up to about 8 inches. Smaller material passes through and stays as part of the soil, which is what you want for a planting bed. Anything much larger than 8 inches is better moved with a bucket or grapple before raking, rather than forced through the tines.


Should I choose the solid bucket or the screening bucket?


Both collect what the rake gathers so you can carry it away instead of picking it up on a second pass. A solid bucket holds everything it collects, which suits debris and mixed material. A screening bucket lets loose soil sift back out while keeping the rock, which is better when you want to leave as much topsoil on site as possible.


What is the difference between a landscape rake and a power rake?


A landscape rake is passive: the tines are dragged through soil and the machine's motion does the work, so no hydraulics are needed for the raking itself. A power rake uses a hydraulically driven rotating drum to actively cut and condition compacted ground. Landscape rakes are better for pulling rock and debris; power rakes for breaking up hard ground

Will a mini landscape rake fit my machine?


It is built for the mini quick-attach mount, which fits the large majority of compact loaders, though mini plates are less standardized than full-size skid steer plates.
Confirming is worthwhile rather than assuming. Send us your make and model and we will verify the mount and confirm the rake width suits your machine.
