Landscape rake choices?

TCS Rake for 499:
CountyLine® Landscape Rake, 6 ft. - 2128325 | Tractor Supply Company

King Kutter for 499 (at northern tool)
King Kutter Landscape Rake — 72in., Model# YR-72 | Category 1 Disc Harrows Rakes| Northern Tool + Equipment

I would take the county line myself (no longer made by KK). Looks to be of better quality and is 10lb heavier according to these sites. (240lb "ship weight" compared to
250lb "product weight")

There are many choices out there and the ordinary KK or CL rake is fine for a lot of people. If you demand more, our EA Landscape rakes, like the other attachments that we manufacture, are designed and built to be a lifetime attachment. There are many features that sets our rake apart from other rakes such as 8 forward/8 reverse settings, the tines are routed thru individual laser cut holes allowing for 1/8" clearance which prevents misalignment, solid welded clevis hitch, quick-hitch/I-match compatible and they come with a stand. These are the best rakes on the market in their weight class and will blow any Woods or Land Pride rake away in the same price range. They also ship free to a business or supporting freight terminal within 1,000 miles of Newton, NC.

Look at the various manufacture's weights listed for a 72" rake and use that as one of your final go to criterias. For the long haul I would go with a York-hopefully one that has been tenderly/moderately used as they are quite pricey new. Guide wheels are a must have.

I just bought a 84" Landpride for 250 last week. Only thing I wish it could do is offset and tilt more other than that its pretty nice.
