The World's Most Versatile 3-Point Tractor Drag

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.

Patented "Tank Tough" Design

The TR3® Rake is truly the most versatile 3-point ground preparation tool on the market. It was invented by Kevin Keigley to combine multiple tools into one. Not only does the TR3 do the job of multiple tools but it can do them all at the same time due to its innovative angle. This design allows three ground engaging components to work the soil all at the same time to level, loosen & rake on every pass! This design holds two U.S patents. The TR3 had it’s birth in the commercial landscaping business so it was designed to handle hours of daily use with minimal to no down time. We like to say the TR3 is “Tank Tough” as it will power through the most demanding of jobs. From horse arenas, gravel driveways & commercial contractor applications, the TR3 is battle tested and shows up for work everyday. For most of our customers it never leaves the back of their tractor!

Auto Leveling Blade

Even though many competitors claim they have a leveling or grading blade, the reality is they don’t. Simply smoothing out hoof prints will never bring an arena back to grade. A tool must have the ability to move dirt from one part of the arena to another to claim it can level an arena. Many drags can smooth, few can actually level. Unlike the competition, the TR3 has a significant ground engaging blade capable of moving a significant amount of material if needed. Not only that, it has an industry exclusive patent that enables the TR3’s leveling blade to “float”, when desired, to auto level the arena. In the floating position this blade will catch high areas and drop that material into lower areas automatically. If the arena is already level it will not dig holes or create high spots. This means, in an undamaged arena, no skill is required to achieve or maintain a level grade. The news gets even better! The leveling blade may also be locked down to act like a box blade for rough grading and spreading material. This enables the TR3 to not only maintain an already level arena in great condition but also renovate an arena filled with waves and inconsistent footing. The TR3 Rake is the only 3-point tractor tool in the world that can do all this in one tool.

Adjustable Scarifiers

The scarifying teeth loosen the ground to eliminate hard spots and easily penetrate compacted arena footing. The depth of these teeth are controlled by the gauge wheels to protect the base of the arena. Many equine disciplines require different footing depths and every footing material is different. To account for this the TR3’s teeth are adjustable from 0 – 17.8cm to enable the perfect amount of aggressiveness and loosening depth. The TR3 is not only limited to the horse arena. If fact, because the teeth are “fixed”, not spring loaded, they make breaking up hard pan soil or gravel a breeze. Many customer use the TR3 on gravel driveways, for landscaping applications and many more jobs around the farm. The tips are replaceable for easy maintenance.

Bolt On Scarifier Tips

The scarifying teeth can handle nearly any ground condition from horse arenas to gravel driveways. Unlike many drags, the TR3 has replaceable bolt on tips on the scarifying teeth. This feature not only ensures affordable and easy maintenance, of this wear part, but it also ensures peak ground penetration no matter the ground condition. If the tips wears to the point that performance is diminished simply replace them and restore the performance to like new! Many competitive drags require the owner to grind off the worn parts and weld on new ones.

1.9cm Hardened Steel Finish Rake

The final point of contact with the ground is the finishing rake. This rake is made of 1.9cm thick hardened steel for long life and is replaceable in 0.3m sections. The purpose of the finish rake is to pulverize and break up clumps of material and leave a beautifully smooth signature finish behind. But that is not all, the rake also enables the user to push backwards to move dirt into dug out roping boxes and jumps! Additionally, push backward outside of the arena to slice through the ground, like a knife, to rip out vegetation or move material to fill in washouts and accomplish other light land clearing jobs. When driving forward, the design of the rake effectively grooms the material, but does not over compact it, leaving an ideally prepared surface for horse arenas and landscaping seedbeds.

Foam Filled Stabilizing Wheel

All 3-point tractor implements move in the opposite direction of the front tires of the tractor. If the front tires of the tractor go up the 3-point goes down. This causes most 3-point implements to dig holes and cause waves in horse arenas. This problem is solved with the “never flat” stabilizing wheels. These wheels prevent the TR3 Rake from undulating with the tractors front tires, keeping the scarifying teeth from loosening any deeper than they are set and preventing the leveling blade from digging holes. The wheels control the depth of the loosening action, create consistent level travel to eliminate wash boarding and eliminates gouging and stalling of the tractor while pushing backward by supporting the frame. Additionally, these wheels support side-to-side “dipping” while cornering. These wheels are the secret to maintaining level grade.

Quick Hitch Compatible

This product is designed for use with a tractor that has a rear 3-point lift connection and is built to ASAE category 1 standards. Additionally, it is quick hitch compatible which makes connecting the implement to the tractor faster, easier, and safer. ABI recommends the use of a quick hitch system not only for its speed and ease of use, but also for its increased operator safety during the connection and disconnection process. This product is quick hitch compatible, the quick hitch system itself (and required adapter bushings) can be purchased separately from your local tractor dealer.

"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.

"Rolling Basket" System

The “Rolling Basket” is an ideal option for those that need to repack the surface after grooming or to breakup significant dirt clods. Most commonly those partcipating in speed events such as barrel racing, roping and other rodeo events find the benefits of this basket the most useful. The rolling basket stabilizes, breaks up clumps of footing, resets the arena below the surface and keeps the top few inches of footing loose to give horses the “grip” they need for speed. This basket is NOT a standard lightweight basket found on many competitors tools that can bounce, clog and plow rendering them ineffective. This is also NOT a roller or packer found on many tools that pack can only roll the top surface. Both the standard basket and roller/packer, found on competitor’s, equipment have fundamental flaws that this design corrects. The rolling basket has twisted 2.54cm rods. Unlike competitors straight rods, the TR3 rolling basket’s rods are twisted and keep the basket rolling smoothly, preventing the basket from clogging, bouncing and plowing material. This design also allows the basket to firm the footing 2.54 – 5.08cm below the surface, not on top, giving the rider the ideal amount of cushion and stability.

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 5.08cm below the grade. The teeth allow loose sand to flow through as 5.08cm and larger rocks and debris collect in the blade.

Extra Long Scarifier Shanks

The standard 22.9cm scarifier shanks can be swapped out for 30.5cm shanks; this enables the operator to rip 22.9cm 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.

Food Plot Disc (Coming Soon)

Looking to make the most of your TR3 outside of the arena? These 14” notched discs transform America’s favorite arena drag into the ideal food plot tractor attachment. The weight of the TR3 maximizes the impact of the aggressive disc angle to shred through vegetation and cultivate the soil. The finish rake you’ve come to love in your arena can then be used to finish the surface and prepare for seeding.

My team loves the TR3 Rake. It does everything we need and really helps to make our arena safe.

Kim From Pennsylvania – July 29, 2020
Wow! What a tool! We drug the indoor with the TR3 and it is amazing. We would drag the area before and it would compact again overnight without anyone even riding. Now we raked it 3 days ago and we’ve had a full 3 days of lessons and the footing is still fluffy! We are very happy! Thanks so much for taking the time with us to make sure we got the right tool for the job!

Susan From Indiana – July 29, 2020
I love the TR3, it works for everything around my farm. The TR3 can be used for so much more than any other tool on the market. One of the reason I love the TR3 so much is because it is so easy to maneuver and adjust to the specific way I would like it. I use it on my gravel roads and arena and sometimes even my pastures. There just isn’t a better tool for a farm!

I own a TR3 and it works so well my neighbors use it just as much as I do. I can hardly keep my son off it. He uses it for both the outdoor and indoor arenas. He also makes trails for riding through our woods. When I bought the TR3 I bought more than one tool.

Lisa From Wyoming – July 29, 2020
The TR3 Rake works great. For its size you can’t get any other tool that’s as heavy duty as the TR3. I haven’t had one problem with it. It’s just an all around great tool.

Cheryl From Mississippi – July 29, 2020
My husband says the TR3 Rake is the best piece of equipment that he has ever bought! And believe me, he has bought a lot of equipment! As a matter of fact, he hooked it up to our Ford tractor the end of March & it has not been unhooked yet! He uses it for everything!!! I think he just likes to play around with it to see what all he can do with it!!!!

My TR3 is great. I use it almost every day and it works perfect for my arena. ABI is a great company. I had to speak to Carl Tribble about parts and he never got frustrated or upset with me because I didn’t understand. That shows he has great character and passion for his job.

Garith From Calgary – July 29, 2020
We received the TR3 rake here in Calgary a day earlier than expected. Excellent work, thank you very much to you and your team for for a job well done! I finally got a chance to work with the unit on my gravel driveway- about 800′ of potholes! I must say. Wow, what a perfect machine! For a unit with no moving parts (other than wheels) and what it can do it is simply an amazing machine! The combination of 3 basic functions into 1 simple design, is absolutely genius! I worked slow getting the feel of the unit and experimented with some of the settings. It didn’t take long to find that this thing works great and I’m so impressed! My wife and daughter thought I had extra gravel brought in but I didn’t. They too are very impressed. My daughter can’t wait for me to work the riding arena- if it’ll ever quit raining! Thanks again for everything!

Don From New York – July 29, 2020
The TR3 is a Great machine. I probably bought one of the first ones ever made back in 2001. Then I moved to a smaller place so I sold it. I just moved to a ranch and I regretted selling it. This November I just purchased a new TR3 and I couldn’t be happier. ABI had great service and friendly employees. I will recommend this to all my friends and ABI can use me as a reference if anyone has doubts.

Lee From Arizona – July 29, 2020
Just a note to say my TR3 is all you and Al Dunning said it would be. Your customer support has been very helpful answering questions for me during the setup process. My arena is now in great shape and will be easy to keep that way.

Tom From Texas – July 29, 2020
I love the TR3 and the Profile Blade Technology. I have already made $300 just from doing my neighbors arenas. They love it just as much as I do and they are waiting to get one pretty soon. I have people ask me all the time where I got my TR3 and I haven’t had one person complain about the arena after I finish dragging. My horses are sound and haven’t paid one vet bill since. Right there is worth the amount of money I paid for the TR3.

Vicky From Tennessee – July 29, 2020
The TR3 is wonderful, we love it. I use it every day and even if my arena doesn’t need it I still drag just because it’s amazing. We use it on so many other things around our farm that we didn’t even know we could salvage. It is the best tool we have ever owned, we couldn’t be happier.

Hello Everyone at ABI. We’ve owned a TR3 Rake for several years now. I just wanted to tell you that we love this product. NO breakdowns or broken tines, just a well built American product!

Pat From Illinois – July 29, 2020
I was so excited the day before my tool came. My husband said, ‘Pat, nothing ever lives up to the sales pitch. I can tell you, this far exceeded the sales pitch. I couldn’t be happier with my TR3 Rake. I was a bit afraid that the tool might be more than I can handle. At my age (72), I was a bit afraid of its weight. But it has been nothing but easy to adjust. I’ll tell everyone I know that this is the tool they should have.

Doran From West Virginia – July 29, 2020
I just wanted to let you know that I received the TR3 6.5 yesterday and began using it on my driveway immediately. This is absolutely the right tool for the job. This three point hitch tool is much better than a drag behind for maneuvering and relocating making it a better choice than the other tools I had considered. I am very happy with this tool, it’s doing a great job. I know that I’ll be able to use the TR3 for other projects and maintenance that I have in mind for our property. I’m very happy with the design and construction of the tool. It’s easy to use, very rugged, and the materials and craftsmanship of construction are top notch.
