What is an Excavator Land Rake?

Before & After of Using the Rhinox Land Rake

The land rake is a landscaping excavator attachments designed for land clearance and ground preparation projects. Also known as a digger rake or root rake, the land rake performs similarly to your standard garden rake, combing through material to bring it into a pile. Unlike traditional digger buckets, excavator land rakes feature a series of sturdy, heavy-duty tines arranged in a comb-like fashion. These tines can penetrate various types of soil and debris, effectively sifting through material to separate rocks, roots and other unwanted elements from the soil. Land rake attachments are often used by landscapers and groundworkers to clear the ground prior to further landscaping and building works and for brining sorted materials into a pile. They are best used to quickly and easily remove small shrubs, brambles, rubbish and more without removing too much soil.
