Rake Landscape rake recommendations ?

[ScottOkla]

I am planning to purchase a landscape rake and have learned a bit about them from this forum. I have never used one in the past.

My two primary needs are to smooth out a few acres of pasture and rough (pre-seed) lawn areas (my house) and to rake small fallen branches and sticks from under mature pecan trees (at the farm).

My Kubota L5030 (50 gross HP, 3700lbs) will pull this for now at the house, but there is a good chance that we will get a Kubota B7510 (21 gross HP, 1400lbs) to use in the future at the farm.

I expect gage wheels are almost a requirement to do what I want to do. It should be as wide as possible, but still pullable for the B7510. The B7510 will not be moving much dirt and rocks, just picking small debris.

Please suggest some brands to look at, and any other things you might recommend.

Gage wheels are a must. I have a 72" rake and pull it with a B3030.I wouldnt want anything larger with a 30 hp tractor. My rake is landpride. Very nice but lots of $$. I find it to be very usefull for spreading dirt,rock and dressing up the drive.

Mine is an inexpensive King Kutter 6 foot, among other abuses have had it almost full of 3 inch gravel patching up my drive. Pull it with a Ford 3000, seems to be holding up well.

In the process of adding home made guage wheels, not sure if KK has this as an option or not. Want to be able to transfer the wheels to my Box Blade, couldn't use factory wheels anyway making it a non issue in my case.
