Trap & Bunker Rakes For Sale in United Kingdom

About Trap & Bunker Rakes

Trap and bunker rakes are the golf course machines golfers can thank for both improving the course aesthetic and ensuring consistent play when they wind up in bunkers and sand traps. In the earliest days of golf, bunkers and sand traps were raked by hand, a time-consuming, labor-intensive task. The next innovation was using pull-behind rake attachments in combination with tractors which allowed traps and bunkers to be raked quicker, but the tractors’ wide turns still left room for improvement.

Toro Sand Pro 3040 Bunker Rake

Features & Attachments

All-in-one trap and bunker rakes eventually emerged to fill the need, and they are now the most common type found on courses. Popular models for sale on NeedTurfEquipment.co.uk like the Toro Sand Pro 3040 and Smithco Sand-Star II are indicative of the standard seated three-wheel trike designs of trap and bunker rakes. Newer models have features such as a zero-turn radius, power steering, and high-flotation tyres to minimise soil compaction. Some also feature traction-assisting technologies for enhancing performance in unfavorable conditions such as wet or heavy sand.

Trap and bunker rakes can also perform numerous other applications by equipping them with leaf blowers, fertilizer spreaders, plows, pumps to remove standing water, finishing brushes, edgers, sand cultivators, and other implements. Smithco, for example, has implements for grooming, rolling, aeration, renovation, construction, debris and core removal, topdressing, and fertiliser applications. Toro Sand Pro rakes, meanwhile, use quick-connect hydraulics and a quick-attaching system to make the job possible in less than a minute.
