    I think it might be a hand harrow, but his appears to be hinged in some way and I've never come across one other than on GW.

    Not sure if I'm remembering the rake in question, but is it what's known as a 'lute' or levelling rake?
    I googled 'garden lute' and it looks like something Monty uses.

    Now you say that, it's ringing bells (clever lute!) in some deep, dark corner of my brain.
