ARENA Groomer for Horse Arena Maintenance
The Turf Rake is a premium horse arena groomer that levels footing and removes stones and pebbles from arena footing. One tractor-towed pass rakes rock from the sand-and-soil mix and leaves a smooth, consistent riding surface. Here’s how the Turf Rake keeps the footing safe and level:
Deep, thorough Arena grooming
Using hundreds of offset raking tines, the TURF RAKE removes stones and rocks from 1/2 inch to 4 inches in diameter to ensure an even, safe footing. It can be easily adjusted to rake and clean from 1 inch to 4 inches deep into the soil.
Professional Groomed Finish
The optional finisher assembly at the rear of the machine glides over the cleaned area, leaving a smooth, groomed surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Turf Rake uses hundreds of offset tines that comb through the arena footing, pulling stones from 1 to 4 inches deep. Stones are carried up a perforated conveyor into a hopper, while footing material is returned to the surface. The optional Finisher attachment then smooths the surface behind the machine.
The Turf Rake removes stones from 3/8 inches to 6 inches in diameter — targeting the hazard range that causes lameness and injury risk for horses, including stones brought up through footing by frost heaves.
The Turf Rake is adjustable from 1 inch to 6 inches deep, allowing extraction of buried stones rather than just surface debris. Depth is set based on footing type and how deeply stones have migrated.
The Turf Rake cleans at up to 3 acres per hour, making even large indoor and outdoor arenas manageable in a single session — far faster than any manual stone-picking alternative and more thorough than any drag.
The Turf Rake is designed to return footing material to the surface while collecting only stones and solid debris. For specialty footing blends, consult our team to confirm the correct tine depth and screen settings before use.
The Finisher is an optional rear attachment that smooths and levels the groomed surface after the tines pass, eliminating tire tracks and restoring a consistent footing surface. For horse arenas, this produces a professional, even finish important for both horse safety and facility appearance.
