Description

Overview
The Billy Goat PR550H is a professional-grade, high-torque power rake designed for landscaping contractors and property managers who require an industrial solution for removing matted thatch. Engineered with a 20-inch working width, this machine utilizes a down-sweep rotation that not only clears debris but also helps propel the unit forward, significantly reducing operator fatigue. Powered by a legendary 162cc Honda® GX160 commercial engine, the PR550H offers the rugged reliability and easy-starting performance necessary for the most demanding turf renovation schedules.
Durability and operator comfort are at the core of the PR series. The unit is built with a 10-gauge steel engine base and heavy-duty steel guards that absorb vibration before it reaches the handle. Unlike many consumer-grade dethatchers, the PR550H features infinite depth adjustment, allowing you to precisely set the engagement level of the flail blades to compensate for wear or specific soil conditions. With its padded, foldable handles and cast iron pillow block bearings, this machine is a compact, high-efficiency powerhouse built to provide a lifetime of service and a healthier, greener lawn.
