As for a ratchet rake, I have never used one, so I say the following admittedly with no experience. I would have a concern about abrasion wearing through the straps. On the other hand, you do not need to drill new holes in the bucket to mount the thing. Perhaps JT or others can address the abrasion issue.

The straps are now only on the top, the bottom strap is a wire cable but it doesn't touch the ground to abrade anyway. The bucket is tipped forward to utilize the teeth. The big teeth on the front are great for brush cleaning and the narrower/smaller teeth on the lower edge is for cleaning and leveling out the ground usually with bucket lowered and tipped then back drug.

If the rocks are small, like golf ball size or so, the rake probably won't do much good. If you have some scrap chain link fence you can strap that to the bottom of a rake or box blade and that works pretty well for smoothing and collecting small stuff.
