There are many different styles, like for instance these Evans & Reid land rakes:

I've got a 60" reed bucket, which work in a similar way, but has an edge so you can still dig and scrape with it, but has about 13 of 1/2" thick tines spaced so can be used to sift like a riddle bucket. Depends what you want to do with it.

It does a good job but the gaps were a bit wide so I welded some more bar in between, does a better job now.That looks handy for riddling brick rubble
Anything is better than forking manual workWe have one and use it a lot for clearing up after tree felling. Saves a lot of manual fork work.
I do use it for digging my mothers gardenTha'ts what I need for digging the garden

unfortunately I don't think my 14 tonner would fit in the polytunnel.
