One of our most popular attachments we sell each year is the CMP Detathatcher. It’s great for a lot of things besides detatching, like light gravel drive maintenance, pine needle clean up, and leaf clean up. But the landscape rake is much heavier duty. So does that mean it’s better at all of those tasks? We’ll find out when we put them head to head today.

I think the dethatcher might need front/bucket-mount design too. At the price I just wonder if some front-loader mount might offer more capabilities for the dethather, though I'm no business-man so IDK if it would sell or at what price.
My use of a dethatcher: I had let the lawn overgrow to shade itself & harbor more moisture but now I have loose-runners(not secured to the soil with roots) all over the yard, even with a low 2 setting on a BX with a bagger. Next week temperatures drop here in zone-9 to support planting winter-rye to keep the St-Augustine-lawn an active-green color. Having a smooth-lawn in the winter allows the natural-wind to blow my leaves into the side-yard-drainage-swales where they get moist & stop moving around.
GREAT video, price difference? About $150.00 right?
That theme song is pretty cool.
re: going forwards and backwards with the dethatcher..the manufacturers docs specifically say to only use it in the "forward" direction. If you tighten down the bolts enough, it will probably be ok going backwards but the way that the tines are held in place is designed to resist force only in the forward direciton. Just fyi.
I would LOVE for someone to tell me why ANYONE would ever pay so darn much money to do a job that is completely unnecessary. I have never been able to figure that one out. I tend to not spend a single penny that is not an absolute necessity. Who the heck cares if there are leaves all over the place? And why?
Cortney, I did find that backing up with landscape rake facing forward is less aggressive. Maybe this is something to try on a video?
A dethatcher would be a good attachment to have for clearing leaves or light gravel work but as a senior citizen on a budget the landscape rake is invaluable. Next in line would be a box blade, and then a tiller. I maintain a quarter mile gravel lane coming back to our home and the landscape rake and box blade are worth their weight in gold. I also have a tiller which is near and dear to my heart. There isn't any job around here that I can't accomplish with these 3 attachments. I also have a set of bolt on pallet forks that I use once in a while which are great for what I do with them. I would probably invest in a set of quick attach forks if I needed them more. I thank you for your great and informative videos. I watch the new ones every day. Your channel and TTWT are the ones that made me realize that I needed a tractor of my own in the first place. God bless and I'll be looking forward to your next video.
If you remove every other tooth on the landscape rake it works better at soil prep and grading gravel.
Hey Courtney I’ve found my landscape rake works great on my 2025R on my trails in the woods for keeping the noise down while sneaking out out to my deer blind but found 60D MMM works really well for just blowing and mowing leaves as long as you are blowing them all in the same direction. I would love to get a 3 point blower but the prices on all of them are very high! Would you have any recommendations?
I use my landscape rake backward to do leaves in the yard because it will push the leaves without tearing up the lawn
Mowing would work better. Or a tractor mounted blower. Or both.
Leaves tend to get blown back by weather.
I have the cmp dethatcher and love it for gravel driveway fall leaves and covering seed beds.
Very nice video for good luck 👍✅🆗
I’d buy a backpack blower to do those leaves before starting my tractor….
Thank you for this, sir! Exactly what I needed. I'll be ordering as soon as the finance committee clears it.
Neither the dethatcher nor the landscape rake do nearly as good a job as a box blade or a land plane for the driveway maintenance. I bought a box blade. I don't need to use it often, but it does great when I need it. I have also used it in taming rough ground, once I have most of the rocks, stumps and sticks out of the way.
I have a lot of dead ash trees (is that redundant) and when they com
I have dead ash trees (is that redundant) and when you bring them down, the small branches shatter like they are made of glass. After removing the large sections and the limbs from my lawn, would the de thatcher work for cleaning up the smaller twigs?
Put a wheel kit on it. It floats a lot better. On the landscape rake.
I don’t think I would ever used one of those landscape rakes for raking my yard. A bit too too aggressive. And the dethatcher works but a back pack and or pto driven tractor blower would work so much better on leaves in my opinion.
Dethatcher and rake remind me of a land plane and boxblade, they can be used for the same jobs, but they have their own specific advantage.
Awesome video.
The dethatcher looks like just the ticket for me. Thanks for the video!
I have the de-thatcher and hang 2 weight blocks from the arms of the 3-point arms to keep some more down pressure on the de-thatcher.
