184-Tine Aquatic Weed Eradicator
The Midwest Rake 87028GR is a specialty garden hand tool built to skim floating aquatic vegetation and algae from water surfaces. Its 184 aluminum tines span a 28-inch width to gather debris efficiently. The 132-inch straight aluminum handle provides extended reach for pond or shoreline work. It is designed for property owners and maintenance crews managing weed growth in lakes, ponds or slow-moving waterways.
Capacity and headroom
The 28-inch working width covers a broad path with each pass, while 184 closely spaced tines capture fine algae and larger floating plants. The quarter-inch tine length limits penetration to surface material, so submerged or rooted weeds remain unaffected. The double-edge serrated steel blade severs stems on the push stroke, yet the tool cannot extract heavy root masses or handle dense, woody debris that exceeds the tine spacing.
Thermals noise and power
Manual operation produces no motor noise, vibration or exhaust, making it suitable for quiet residential areas and wildlife habitats. The aluminum handle and tines stay cool under sunlight and add minimal weight during prolonged use. The pushpin splice allows quick assembly or disassembly for transport, and the straight handle geometry reduces wrist strain during repetitive skimming motions. No external power source is required.

Questions about this item
Will the 132-inch aluminum handle reach across my existing pond edging without bending?
The straight 132-inch aluminum handle provides long reach from shore or boat, and its rigid aluminum construction resists flexing during use.
How can I verify the 184 tines and double-edge serrated blade are cutting correctly after assembly?
The tool should skim the water surface cleanly, removing floating vegetation and algae in a single pass without clogging or tearing.
Does the 87028GR include the pushpin splice hardware, or must I buy pins separately?
The pushpin splice for easy assembly and disassembly is built into the handle; no separate pins or hardware are required.
