Abstract
A soil raking and leveling device includes a rectangular frame having a rake secured to the front and a grading bar secured to the back. A side rail is attached to each side of the frame with each side rail having a bottom edge tapered forwardly and upwardly beginning from a point intermediate both ends of the side rail where a bottom edge of the scraper blade is positioned and tapered rearwardly and upwardly from the point to form a fulcrum about which the side rail pivots. A handle formed by a cross bar and a draw bar is pivotally attached to the front of the device and may be pivoted from a collapsed storage position to a first position extending outwardly and upwardly, a second position extending generally horizontally and a third position at a point lower than the second position and also extending horizontally outwardly. A pair of rear wheels are mounted adjacent the ends of the side rails.
