I have a large pond by our house that we keep looking nice. Several years ago I lined the water edges with fist size rocks. Over the years the rocks have slid further into the pond so I decided that before they sled out too far from shore, I would use a hand draw fork and pull them back up on the waters edge. Well that got to be "old" real fast so I mounted my 3 pt landscape rake in the bucket of my front end loader. See pictures. It works great !! I drive down to the edge of the water, lower the rake into the water until it touches bottom and then slowly back up pulling the rocks back to the shore line. The rake can be maneuvered easily by rotating the bucket and moving the front end loader up and down to the desired height. I also used it to drag out pond weeds and also to smooth out the driveway. I can put as much down force on the rake as needed to do the job. See the pictures to see how I mounted it.
