Everything Attachments Landscape Rake

sjm1580 · Mar 25, 2016

Just ordered the 84" Severe Extreme Rake; they are a little backed up on shipping them out but will give feedback once I get it home and dirty! If anyone has one I would like to here about their thoughts.

I have the same one. I love it. The only thing I was disappointed about was that the tines bend easily. I was expecting better quality tines from everything attachments. Also I have not abused this rake in any way.

I've used one for a couple of years. Does a great job.
Made an adapter plate so it can be mounted on the front or 3 pt.
I abuse mine both pulling and pushing with it.
The only time I've bent tines was when I was lazy, it was front mounted and used it to pull up a couple of dead small trees, I should have used the bucket.
Tines were easily straightened. If the same ones bend again I'll reverse them. so the weak spot isn't where they bolt on.

Have 10 acres of cleanup (mainly roots and small pine tree remnants). Then was going to try and lightly rake in a mixture of Bahia and millet seed. Think I will have any success with the seed?

Not picking on you, just struck me in an amusing way. You love it with easily bent tines?? :confused3:

No harm no foul....

They weren't 'easily' bent. They bent because I abused them doing a job they weren't designed to do, pull up trees.

I didn't realize the trees were so securely in the ground since they were small and long dead. I thought they'd just pop out but they didn't. I chose to force the issue, that resulted in 3 tines partially bent up. Were the tines of a lesser quality I would have probably bent a lot more of them.

So IMO the EA rake is a good buy made with quality materials.

Anyone know if the only difference between the original and V3 the stand and quick hitch computability? That's what the web site seems to indicate and since the wife just takes about an acre of freshly removed stumps the iron is hot if you know what I mean.

No worries. Actually I was talking to darrenjttu who claimed "no abuse".

I love the rake compared to other rakes. It is good quality but the tines seem cheaply made. I have many bent tines that teqnically still work but are bent very bad.

Sounds like you may want to also look at the Ratchet Rake at TSC.

Nah, I already have cleared the property with a 40k pound excavator and have a EA wicked whatever grapple and have literally beat the crap out of that thing cleaning up the rest. Ready for final small stuff cleanup and hope this thing will fit the bill.

I think I would have destroyed the rachet rake in a few hours of work...

Anxious to hear your results with the EA rake. Pictures would be awesome!!!!

I have both a Ratchet Rake and an ETA Landscape Rake.

The Ratchet Rake is tougher than the ETA Landscape Rake. The Ratchet Rake is faster and more thorough at piling debris.

The ETA Landscape Rake is faster smoothing terrain and filling holes when iused on an angle, moving dirt across the front. I use gauge wheels with my Landscape Rake 90% of the time. Landscape Rakes also fulfill the function of a frame mounted Chain Harrow.

A Hydraulink is useful during Box Blade, Landscape Rake and Angle Blade operation. It allows the implement to more closely follow ground contours. With a Box Blade it makes length adjustment relatively easy.

I thought landscape rakes utilized spring steel for tines??- Pretty sure that is what my rake and most brands use.?.

Our EA Landscape Rakes use the highest quality Italian tines on the market. Everyone looking for a rake should check out the video where Ted & Peanut find several ways to abuse one.

There's also more.....Part 2.

This root ball rolled and tumbled. We did spring a tine, but much worse could happen from this sort of abuse.

darrenjttu · Mar 28, 2016

Well I don't know what happened to mine because I didn't work it that hard and the tines still bent. Maybe I got a bad one.

I have an EA 84" rake and used it over 30 acres. The rake works well but did come apart at the main pin one time. There isn't enough bracing there and the weld was subpar. I cleaned it up and put an angle front and back which made it stronger than original. I was doing well in tines until two weekends ago. Broke two, they didn't bend just snapped.
