Landscape Rake

[MESSMAKER]

I bought one from Tractor Supply (made by Tartar) this year to do the very same thing you are wanting to do, it is a 6' and my old Ford 850 twisted it like a pretzel. It was rated for a 40 to 60 hp tractor. I did manage to straighten it out for the most part and intend to pick up some metal to reinforce the weak area at the pivot then only use it behind the 1025R and hope that it won't twist again.

Is there anything by Tarter that is not too lightweight to be useful?

I'm looking for one too. Around here (NY) CL and FB Marketplace are full of them. All made of 24 carat gold judging by the asking prices. Hard to believe gold can rust that much though . .

I could buy EA's top of the line largest one for less than what these characters are asking. There are some in the 500-800 range but they are clearly light duty and will not hold up here.

Been looking for used for a few month’s, found a guy just 50 miles away who has 2 of them for sale. It’s a king cutter so not top quality but it’s almost new for $500. The other is unbranded for $450. Both 6 ft rakes, going to look at tomorrow and buy the heaviest built out of the two. Thanks for all the responses.

I've twisted the angle iron that holds the tines on my 6' Frontier using my B3200. Next one might have to be a EA. I just received my Wicked 55 grapple last month and it's a beast!

Anyone in the market for implement's who lives in southern Indiana or southern Illinois or western Kentucky needs to check with this gentleman who I bought my landscape rake from. He had 3, plus about 10 blades, 6 bush hog mowers, 3 point log splitter, Sod busters and probably 25 more pieces of used equipment for sale. Not a business so no tax just a retired gentleman who fixes and resale’s equipment. If interested message me and I’ll give the information I have.

Looking for a landscape rake for use maybe once or twice a year to clean sticks off field next to woods and clean up area after it was logged last summer. Rural King has some for $600, good buy or not?

Looks fine to me. As long as individual tines can be repaired (they bend) or replaced you are good.
