Norteck Mini Excavator Landscape Rake

The mini-excavator landscape rake serves a precise function on a jobsite: removing coarse material from the soil and preparing a bed of fine earth. The 40 cm width and 25 mm pin diameter target light carriers, specifically the KUBOTA KX36-3, KX41-2, and JCB 801.

Mounted in place of the bucket, this tool works on the surface. It holds back rocks and stones while allowing fine soil to pass through. The FE510 steel listed in the spec indicates a common grade for welded construction, with no specific surface treatment mentioned.

• Pin diameter: 25 mm
• Working width: 40 cm
• Material: FE510 steel
• Mounting: In place of the bucket

Deciding between a rake and a bucket depends on the material you need to process. On rocky ground, the rake simplifies separation of stones. It does not replace a digging bucket for excavation, but rounds out your setup when you need to refine soil or prepare a base.

For operators working on mixed terrain, the 35 cm excavating bucket provides straightforward digging, while the rake handles finishing passes. The question also comes up with wider models: the Norteck 100 cm rake bucket covers a wider pass when the carrier can handle the size.

Mounting on a quick coupler or directly on the dipper arm depends on the machine's configuration. The 25 mm pin diameter is a spec to compare with the bore of your existing coupler or adapter. If in doubt, measure your current pin before swapping equipment.
