Considering a purchase. Anyone recommend a manufacturer / brand ?

I'm happy with my Ratchet Rake. No holes to drill, mounts/dismounts easily, and not fussy about width of bucket lip. (3) Much of my use is to shallow-scratch my long d'way (bottom teeth (y)) before dragging to move fines into potholes. It does a LOT more.

That's a pretty good size tractor that you have so I would recommend these: W.R. Long, Inc. | Tooth Bar & Wear Blades

I have one and it's over kill for my tractor....

I HATE my Ratchet Rake... fine for smoothing and leveling but you can not dig dirt with it.
Thanks, This looks like a good one. I was trying to determine if anyone had one that did not require drilling your bucket. Such as,
Tractor Bucket Toothbar

This one "looks" okay but .... I do not want to purchase and then find out it is not worth it / doesn't work well.

I like my Ratchet Rake too, for clearing in woodlands and minor grading and garden prep.

However, you CANNOT DIG with a Ratchet Rake attached to your bucket.




A Deere 2355 weighs 6,000 pounds bare tractor. If you want to dig less wide than your bucket, a Bucket Spade from Bucket Solutions should be considered. There are other Bucket Spades but Bucket Solutions' spade is the heaviest sold and most suitable for your heavy-ish compact tractor.

Thanks Jeff, I was looking for something to dig with. No large areas, but more for say planting a tree / minor landscaping / that sort. Really, just getting a hole started is the usually the hardest part.
Do you have a bucket spade too ? Wondering how well this might dig. Don't want to mess up / bend my tractor bucket.
