Rock rake..

I agree with everything you say here.. but the lifting/lowering is way different.. thats a fact, which is why I said weird. Does not make sense to me either, but alas thats how it was. Also the reason I decided to sell that first one at a loss, and go quite a bit more expensive on the second one!
My only thought after looking at the pics I posted here, has the hitch on that first rake leaning forward..not sure, but something made it not work properly!!
Hooked up the new rake and it works just fine, and WAY different than that first one, and thats all I know about it.... makes no sense, but thats how it is!

I'm sure the angle of attack of the tines makes a difference. I built a rake for my Steiner using these spring tines but mounted each to a bushing and they pivot on a good sized rod. Each tine floats on it's own, or can be arrested to function normally. I wanted it to remove tree debris after felling a tree on a lawn, without ripping up the lawn.
