The patented TR3™ Rake is America’s favorite arena drag and is the best selling professional quality arena drag on the market. Many of the industry’s top horsemen use and recommend the TR3™ Rake for any equine discipline. The secret to the TR3™ Rake’s success is its effectiveness, durability, versatility & ease of use. Anyone who is of age and properly trained to operate a tractor may use the TR3™ Rake. The exclusive patented drag bar will auto level the arena while the operator drives. No hydraulic adjustments needed; the TR3™ Rake does all the work. Due to the heavy weight and style of fixed scarifying teeth the TR3™ Rake easily breaks through hard pan and eliminates hard and soft spots for consistent footing depth. The foam filled gauge wheels help protect the arena base by controlling the loosening depth and offsetting the natural undulation of the tractor. The back finishing rake of the TR3™ leaves behind a beautiful signature finish perfect for any equine discipline. The TR3™ Rake has the precision control required for horse arenas AND the aggressiveness required to grade gravel driveways, create paddocks, prep pasture seedbed, prep for food plots, complete light land clearing projects and so much more. The TR3™ Rake is truly the most versatile 3-point ground preparation tool on the market. Level, Loosen & Rake on every pass!

"Tank Tough" Frame:
The TR3™ Rake weighs in at between 800 lbs. - 2,000 lbs. and is constructed of quarter inch and half inch solid steel i-beam and angle iron.
The back finish rake and wear plates on the leveling bar are three-quarter inch hardened steel for longer wear.
The stabilizing/gauge wheels are foam filled and the hardened steel scarifier tips are replaceable.
Adjustable Scarifiers:
Adjustable from 0" - 7" to enable the perfect loosening depth for a variety of equine discipline. Also enable the user to get to the bottom of most potholes.
Fixed scarifiers, not spring loaded, make breaking up hard pan soil or gravel a breeze.
Adjustable ground contact angle to achieve more or less aggressiveness.
Bolt On Scarifier Tips:
Easy to replace bolt on tips only $8 each!
The steel is hardened for longer wear.
Although conditions & uses vary 1 set of tips lasts many of our customers about a year! (Your results may vary.)
Reduces maintenance costs and lessens down time.
Auto Leveling Drag Bar:
No skilled required to achieve a level grade.
The blade will float to catch high areas and drops that material into lower areas automatically.
The blade may also be locked down to act like a box scraper for rough grading and spreading material.
Foam Filled Stabilizing Wheel:
Real Wheels! Includes replaceable Volkswagen hubs, axles, and bearings to lower operating costs and minimize down town.
Prevents the TR3™ Rake from undulating with the tractor, keeping the scarifying teeth from digging any deeper than they are set.
Controls the depth of the loosening action.
Creates consistent level travel to eliminate wash boarding.
Eliminates gouging and stalling the tractor while pushing backwards by supporting the frame.
3/4" Hardened Steel Finish Rake:
Pulverizes and breaks up clumps of material and leaves a beautiful signature finish behind.
Made of 3/4" hardened steel for long life and are replaceable in 1' sections.
Enables the user to push backwards slicing through the ground like a knife to rip out vegetation or move material to fill washouts and other light land clearing jobs.
May be pivoted to apply pressure to compact and seal any material.
3-Point Hitch Connection:
Depending on the size of the unit; the TR3™ is compatible with CAT 0, 1, 2. (See sizing recommendations in the specs tab.)
Works well with most "Quick-Attached" systems.
"Profiler" System:
The "Profiler" works with the TR3 and slices parallel to the base material eliminating all ridging in a single pass; saving time and further protecting the longevity of the horse. The standard TR3 utilizes perpendicular scarifiers to power through all hard packed footing, however alone it may take multiple passes and varying drag patterns to eliminate ridging. The power of the TR3 combined with the finesse and accuracy of the "Profiler" option team up to set a new standard in professional arena footing management.
The laser system currently available is a laser transmitter with tripod and the detector with grade stick. This is a handheld manual system that is economical and can be used with any drag on the market. Simply setup the laser and walk the arena with the grade stick and detector. Mark the high & low spots with spray paint or other marking device. Then the tractor operator may begin grading. Mounted manual and fully automated laser systems will be available soon.
Hydraulic Top Link:
This option is a must for operators that will use the TR3 for land reclamation and landscaping applications. This cylinder takes the place of the traditional turn knuckle and gives the operator the ability to change the position of the TR3 without getting off the tractor and manually making adjustments.
Rail/Edge Blade:
The rail blade attaches by two bolts to the leveling blade. The shovel cuts into the built up material around the rail or wall of an arena and pulls the material into the leveling blade to be redistributed throughout the arena. This eliminates hours of back breaking work. Works great to push back grasses and weeds that begin to overgrow into gravel roads and ball diamonds. Also pulls displaced material back into the road.
Blade Teeth:
The blade teeth are used mostly in the landscaping industry and mount below the leveling blade. They extend 2 inches below the grade. The teeth allow loose sand to flow through as 2" and larger rocks and debris collect in the blade.
Extra Long Scarifier Shanks:
The standard 9" scarifier shanks can be swapped out for 12" shanks; this enables the operator to rip 9" deep. This may be needed to prepare for some barrel racing events. Every discipline has varying requirements. Always know how deep the arena footing material is.
