Bluebird PR18 18" Power Rake

The Bluebird PR18 Power Rake is built for everyday turf renovation work—tidying thatch, refreshing tired lawns, and preparing surfaces for regrowth. It is powered by a Honda GX160 4-stroke engine (160cc, 5.5 HP class) and uses a belt-driven V-belt transmission system with a spring-loaded idler clutch for reliable power delivery. Built on a welded 10-gauge steel frame, it delivers the strength and durability needed for regular contractor use. Backed by Bluebird’s long history in turf equipment since 1961, it’s proven gear designed to help you do a better job, day after day. It’s quick to set up, easy to run, and ideal for smaller to mid-sized jobs where time and efficiency matter.

Better for Kiwi Lawns

New Zealand turf conditions can change quickly, so having control on the job makes a real difference. The Bluebird PR18 features a 6-position depth control system (+1” to -1” in ¼” increments, plus transport height), giving precise adjustment for different conditions. Whether working light on soft turf or more aggressively on built-up thatch, it helps deliver a cleaner, more consistent finish with less risk of damaging the surface.

Built Better in the U.S.A.

Made in the U.S.A. at Metalcraft of Mayville in Wisconsin, Bluebird equipment is built to a high standard of quality and consistency. The PR18 combines its welded 10-gauge steel frame with a simple, reliable drive system to deliver better durability and dependable performance. It features an 18” working width and is designed for regular contractor use in demanding conditions.

Better Practicality on Site

The compact design and folding handle make the Bluebird PR18 easy to move between jobs and store in the van or trailer. With an approximate operating weight of around 125 lbs (depending on reel configuration), it is easy to handle on site and works well in tighter residential or access-restricted areas, helping you get the job done better and faster.

Better Flexibility for Different Jobs

With flail, spring, or delta reel options, the PR18 can be configured to suit different turf conditions and renovation requirements. This flexibility allows operators to move from light seasonal work through to more aggressive dethatching with one platform, helping Bluebird deliver a better result across a wider range of jobs.
