TR3 Profiler
Patented 'Tank Tough' Design
The TR3® Rake is truly the most versatile 3-point ground preparation tool on the market. It was invented by Kevin Keigley to combine multiple tools into one. Not only does the TR3 do the job of multiple tools but it can do them all at the same time due to its innovative angle. This design allows three ground engaging components to work the soil all at the same time to level, loosen & rake on every pass! This design holds two U.S patents. The TR3 had it’s birth in the commercial landscaping business so it was designed to handle hours of daily use with minimal to no down time. We like to say the TR3 is “Tank Tough” as it will power through the most demanding of jobs. From horse arenas, gravel driveways & commercial contractor applications, the TR3 is battle tested and shows up for work everyday. For most of our customers it never leaves the back of their tractor!
Auto Leveling Blade
Even though many competitors claim they have a leveling or grading blade, the reality is they don’t. Simply smoothing out hoof prints will never bring an arena back to grade. A tool must have the ability to move dirt from one part of the arena to another to claim it can level an arena. Many drags can smooth, few can actually level. Unlike the competition, the TR3 has a significant ground engaging blade capable of moving a significant amount of material if needed. Not only that, it has an industry exclusive patent that enables the TR3’s leveling blade to “float”, when desired, to auto level the arena. In the floating position this blade will catch high areas and drop that material into lower areas automatically. If the arena is already level it will not dig holes or create high spots. This means, in an undamaged arena, no skill is required to achieve or maintain a level grade. The news gets even better! The leveling blade may also be locked down to act like a box blade for rough grading and spreading material. This enables the TR3 to not only maintain an already level arena in great condition but also renovate an arena filled with waves and inconsistent footing. The TR3 Rake is the only 3-point tractor tool in the world that can do all this in one tool.
Adjustable Scarifiers
The scarifying teeth loosen the ground to eliminate hard spots and easily penetrate compacted arena footing. The depth of these teeth are controlled by the gauge wheels to protect the base of the arena. Many equine disciplines require different footing depths and every footing material is different. To account for this the TR3’s teeth are adjustable from 0″ – 7″ to enable the perfect amount of aggressiveness and loosening depth. The TR3 is not only limited to the horse arena. If fact, because the teeth are “fixed”, not spring loaded, they make breaking up hard pan soil or gravel a breeze. Many customer use the TR3 on gravel driveways, for landscaping applications and many more jobs around the farm. The tips are replaceable for easy maintenance.
Bolt On Scarifier Tips
The scarifying teeth can handle nearly any ground condition from horse arenas to gravel driveways. Unlike many drags, the TR3 has replaceable bolt on tips on the scarifying teeth. This feature not only ensures affordable and easy maintenance, of this wear part, but it also ensures peak ground penetration no matter the ground condition. If the tips wears to the point that performance is diminished simply replace them and restore the performance to like new! Many competitive drags require the owner to grind off the worn parts and weld on new ones.
3/4in Hardened Steel Finish Rake
The final point of contact with the ground is the finishing rake. This rake is made of 3/4″ thick hardened steel for long life and is replaceable in one foot sections. The purpose of the finish rake is to pulverize and break up clumps of material and leave a beautifully smooth signature finish behind. But that is not all, the rake also enables the user to push backwards to move dirt into dug out roping boxes and jumps! Additionally, push backward outside of the arena to slice through the ground, like a knife, to rip out vegetation or move material to fill in washouts and accomplish other light land clearing jobs. When driving forward, the design of the rake effectively grooms the material, but does not over compact it, leaving an ideally prepared surface for horse arenas and landscaping seedbeds.
Foam Filled Stabilizing Wheel
All 3-point tractor implements move in the opposite direction of the front tires of the tractor. If the front tires of the tractor go up the 3-point goes down. This causes most 3-point implements to dig holes and cause waves in horse arenas. This problem is solved with the “never flat” stabilizing wheels. These wheels prevent the TR3 Rake from undulating with the tractors front tires, keeping the scarifying teeth from loosening any deeper than they are set and preventing the leveling blade from digging holes. The wheels control the depth of the loosening action, create consistent level travel to eliminate wash boarding and eliminates gouging and stalling of the tractor while pushing backward by supporting the frame. Additionally, these wheels support side-to-side “dipping” while cornering. These wheels are the secret to maintaining level grade.
3-Point Hitch Connection
The TR3® Rake has a variety of sizes to fit most any tractor with a 3-point hitch. For small category 0/1 tractors we recommend the 5.5′ TR3. For standard category 1 tractors ABI offers a selection of 5.5′, 6.5′ 7.5, & 8.5′ to fit the tire width and horsepower of the tractor. Large category 2 tractors will need either the 8.5′ or 10′ TR3 Rake. These larger rakes feature additional reenforcements as well as CAT II 3-point measurements. Speak with one of our product experts to have a TR3 Rake sized to your tractor and needs. The TR3 is compatible with standard quick hitch adapters as well as John Deere iMatch systems.
Profile Blades
The profile blades are at the heart of the TR3 Profiler Option. Because of this unique concept the desire to loosen footing without creating ridges can finally be realized. Similar to a sod cutting blade the new profile blades cut parallel to the arena grade. So, instead of ripping through footing with perpendicular teeth these profile blades slice through the footing in quarter inch increments and loosen the footing as deep as 7 inches. Now with every single pass of the tractor the TR3 Profiler Option will be loosing 100% of the footing! This saves an enormous amount of time on the tractor because the driver no longer has to make two or three passes over the same footing with different patterns!
Floating Finishing Comb / Rake
The final point of contact is the adjustable floating comb allowing for customizable pressure to be applied depending upon the consistency of the footing material. Every footing is different but by adjusting the comb you can get the same results. Breaks up dirt clods and produces a beautiful signature finish. Constructed of 1/2″ wear resistant hardened steel.

Not all powder coating processes are created equal, but you can rest assured that the multi-step powder coating process used on ABI products is second to none. Proper material selection, roofed-storage, innovative cleaning & preparation, state-of-the-art equipment, and industry leading “trade-secret” techniques enable ABI to offer a true architectural grade powder coating on all products.

Pat From Illinois –
I was so excited the day before my tool came. My husband said, ‘Pat, nothing ever lives up to the sales pitch. I can tell you, this far exceeded the sales pitch. I couldn’t be happier with my TR3 Rake. I was a bit afraid that the tool might be more than I can handle. At my age (72), I was a bit afraid of its weight. But it has been nothing but easy to adjust. I’ll tell everyone I know that this is the tool they should have.
Paul From Maryland –
I have a stone dust and sand mixture as riding material and the TR3 is absolutely amazing, it works perfectly and I wouldn’t ever use a different drag.
Mark From Texas –
I have had no problems with my TR3. I really liked it when I bought it and now I know I made the right decision buying this product.
Nancy From North Carolina –
We are completely happy with the TR3; it is a great addition to the farm. Both my husband and I can use it easily with no problems. We couldn’t have purchased a better tool.
Audrey From South Carolina –
My TR3 is working just like you guys said it would. I use it every day. We have no rain down here and its extremely dry but even with the heat and lack of moisture it still works perfectly, I couldn’t be happier.
Vicky From Tennessee –
The TR3 is wonderful, we love it. I use it every day and even if my arena doesn’t need it I still drag just because it’s amazing. We use it on so many other things around our farm that we didn’t even know we could salvage. It is the best tool we have ever owned, we couldn’t be happier.
Tom From Texas –
I love the TR3 and the Profile Blade Technology. I have already made $300 just from doing my neighbors arenas. They love it just as much as I do and they are waiting to get one pretty soon. I have people ask me all the time where I got my TR3 and I haven’t had one person complain about the arena after I finish dragging. My horses are sound and haven’t paid one vet bill since. Right there is worth the amount of money I paid for the TR3.
Kara From Saskatchewan –
I am very happy with my TR3 Rake, and have used it in both my indoor and outdoor arenas. I have used it at various settings and I’m please with it’s performance.
Don From New York –
The TR3 is a Great machine. I probably bought one of the first ones ever made back in 2001. Then I moved to a smaller place so I sold it. I just moved to a ranch and I regretted selling it. This November I just purchased a new TR3 and I couldn’t be happier. ABI had great service and friendly employees. I will recommend this to all my friends and ABI can use me as a reference if anyone has doubts.
Tim From Kansas –
The TR3 is great and I have zero complaints. The TR3 met my expectations and I recommend it to everyone.
Kim From Pennsylvania –
Wow! What a tool! We drug the indoor with the TR3 and it is amazing. We would drag the area before and it would compact again overnight without anyone even riding. Now we raked it 3 days ago and we’ve had a full 3 days of lessons and the footing is still fluffy! We are very happy! Thanks so much for taking the time with us to make sure we got the right tool for the job!
Susan From Indiana –
I love the TR3, it works for everything around my farm. The TR3 can be used for so much more than any other tool on the market. One of the reason I love the TR3 so much is because it is so easy to maneuver and adjust to the specific way I would like it. I use it on my gravel roads and arena and sometimes even my pastures. There just isn’t a better tool for a farm!
Richard From Oregon –
I am very happy with my TR3, I use it for trails and paths in my woods. My neighbor also has a TR3 but she uses it for her indoor and outdoor arenas and it does a great job. My neighbors arena looks professionally done.
Erik From Tennessee –
The TR3 works extremely well. I haven’t had any problems with it and always gets the job done. It is exactly what I was expecting.
Ricke From Oklahoma –
I own a TR3 and it works so well my neighbors use it just as much as I do. I can hardly keep my son off it. He uses it for both the outdoor and indoor arenas. He also makes trails for riding through our woods. When I bought the TR3 I bought more than one tool.
Lisa From Wyoming –
The TR3 Rake works great. For its size you can’t get any other tool that’s as heavy duty as the TR3. I haven’t had one problem with it. It’s just an all around great tool.
Denise From Nebraska –
The TR3 works great. There hasn’t been one problem with it. My buying experience with ABI was perfect. The thing I love about the TR3 the most is it works the way I want it to and does everything ABI said it would.
Mark From Pennsylvania –
The TR3 is an incredible piece of equipment. It is easy to use and does its job perfectly. There isn’t a better tool on the market.
Cheryl From Mississippi –
My husband says the TR3 Rake is the best piece of equipment that he has ever bought! And believe me, he has bought a lot of equipment! As a matter of fact, he hooked it up to our Ford tractor the end of March & it has not been unhooked yet! He uses it for everything!!! I think he just likes to play around with it to see what all he can do with it!!!!
Glen From South Carolina –
I love the TR3 Rake. The way it works is like nothing else on the market. It gets the job done and is very easy to use

Mike From Illinois –
The TR3 works great. We love the way it conditions the arena. It looks amazing and feels great to ride on.
Nancy From Texas –
I love my TR3. It works just like I want it to and is easy to manipulate.

My TR3 is great. I use it almost every day and it works perfect for my arena. ABI is a great company. I had to speak to Carl Tribble about parts and he never got frustrated or upset with me because I didn’t understand. That shows he has great character and passion for his job.
