Bert - Wide-Rake McLeod by Backslope Tools

Go wide. Get it done.

Bert moves across soil like a calm tide—broad teeth setting order, a clean edge settling tread before the light fades.

Built for big ground

Meet Bert

A wider McLeod, fewer passes

Long days on trails and beds demand fewer trips over the same stretch. Bert’s wide head sweeps debris and shapes surfaces in one steady pull, saving steps and breath. The steel head stays composed when the work turns rough, and the bolt-on handle swaps out in minutes when it finally gives. It’s the tool you reach for when a standard rake just can’t keep up.

Work that reads clean

Tread finishes smoother when momentum isn’t broken. With more width per pass, crews keep rhythm, gardens level faster, and landscapes settle into form. Time stays with the task at hand instead of with equipment fuss. Assembled in Colorado, Bert shows up ready to cover ground.

Who it’s for

Trail crews, landscape teams, and growers shaping large beds who want speed without losing control.

In the field

Clear debris and finish trail tread or rake out broad garden beds in wide, efficient passes.
