I know it says JBar Corp on it, but..I can't find one like it in any photos..The story is, that I had a 72" County Line Box blade and landscape rake. I have a NH Boomer 41. The box blade was junk. It did not have clevis style hitch pin attach, and the bolts to the top link arms and pins would never stay tight. I ended up bending the hitch up. I took it to a guy who beefed it up good. Also the sandwich style channel iron they use in the rakes is terrible. Hit a root or rock and it bends..after a few more bending actions it gets weak. Poor design and too big a tractor. Anyway, after I got the box blade reinforced it was great..But I had already purchased a Woods box blade that is much heavier and all around better. I figured to sell the CL box on Craigslist. The guy wanted my CL rake also. I sold them both to him. While I was in his area, I found a new rake for sale....It has clevis hitch and seem pretty well built...see pics...anyway I looked up Jbar mfg and they have all kinds of attachments and trailers, brush hogs, tillers, etc The rakes on there site look lighter....I was wondering if somehow someone bought the rake section from them and mfg'd a heavier hitch.. what does anyone think...I have yet to use this thing, as its too dam wet around here still. If the welding is good, it looks much better than that junk CL rake...Best thing is that was CHEAP in price. I looked at quite a few rakes and this one seems as good as some of the bigger names product.
