Apologies, a general search for rakes bote here. My mistake.
I recently purchased a 2014 LS G3038 with FEL.
I recently purchased a 2014 LS G3038 with FEL. I bought it to maintain my 4 acres, 2/3 of which is open grass, but on a hill and pretty bumpy, and the rest is a combination of pine trees and a few hardwoods. The biggest battle I fight is keeping the leaves and limbs picked up to an extent where I can mow with my zero turn (I plan to bush hog the areas that are farther from the house now though). I was hoping the FEL would suffice, but I find myself using it to drag everything in a pile and then still having to pick them up by hand/shovel/rake into the bucket to haul it off. Would a landscape rake benefit me here? I'm tearing my yard up with the bucket (it doesn't help we've not had more that 3-4 days in a row with no rain since November), but I have to get limbs picked up before I can start mowing in the next month or two. I've looked at grapples as well, but that's an expensive endeavor since I'd need a 3rd function as well. Anyone have experience moving small debris with a landscape rake? It's about an acre and a half on a gentle hill that I'd be using it for. Any other attachments that I'm missing that would benefit me more?
Thanks!
