Rhinox Digger Attachments - Tine Spacings
The spaces between the tines of a mini digger or excavator attachment, like land rakes or riddle buckets, can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The spaces between the tines will determine how thoroughly your attachment will filter and sort materials. Rhinox manufacture 3 similar attachments with varying tine widths - the land rake, riddle bucket and rake riddle bucket. So, in this post we will summarise each attachment, identifying the tine widths and best uses.

Land Rake
A land rake acts similarly to your standard garden rake, or a comb. It rakes over the surface of the ground, bringing sorted materials into a pile. It is best used to clear the ground of shrubs, brambles, debris or similar, before landscaping or building.
