Pics of my homemade rake in use

Looks like a handy thing to have! I'd get some paint on it before cancer really takes it's toll. Look forward to seeing more pics.

A subsoiler penetrates much deeper. A tractor the size of the OP's and mine could pull a one or maybe two shank subsoiler depending on conditions how our tractors are configured.

I know exactly what a subsoiler is, I just said that from the little bit I could see, it looks a lot like one of the BIG multitoothed HD subsoilers I have seen posted here.

10-4. I didn't mean to offend you. To me it looks like a root rake.:confused3:

No offense was taken neither, I just wanted to be clear.

I have never seen a root rake, except the ones in front of skidsteers, so I asked about it...

Nicely done, I archived your pictures for future reference.

What/How much do the back-facing tines add to the utility of it?

Thanks,

They were an add on though I initially started to cut the tines that way but changed at the last second. They allow me to push backward. Once the pile gets so big it's just no feasible to drive over it so I'll drag stuff up to the pile then cut hard at the last second dump the load then push it into the pile.
