Landscape Rake Tines 1 or 2 Holes

[Oldtoad]

Ringo Landscape Rake, 8', tines are breaking at a horrible rate, time to replace.
Choices are Chinese or Italian manufacture, 1 or 2 holes.
The manufacturer is selling 1 hole replacements, the rake has 2 hole tines. Please, your Thoughts?

Edit: went Italian 2 holer
Always thought 2 holes was better than one in out houses and Italian steel is better than Chinese.
Agrisupply is the source.

I suspect 2 hole times are for rakes that align tines by the mounting bolts, and 1 hole tines are aligned by a notch, etc. in the rake frame. Which method does your rake use?

Bruce, the rake has 2 holes, Agrisupply had a measured drawing, matched up.
The curious part is the manufacturer is only selling 1 hole replacements.
They all broke at the second hole, maybe that is why?
Called manufacturer but they were closed.
It is spring, so I best get busy, got them ordered.

Called Ringo about the tines.
Yes they sell 2 hole tines.
Manufactured in Italy is what we want. Agrisupply has them at a lower cost...
