I have a TR3 rake that I use for my landscape business. I also have a box blade and rake that I haven't used since I bought the TR3. It is the best (IMO) non powered implement I have used for landscaping. I use it to install new lawns, grade sites, install and rehab crushed stone driveways and the same for gravel drives. I have put it through its paces and it has worked flawlesley for me. In wet soil it works good to open up the soil to dry and once it is fairly dry I can do the finnish work. I have a sub that has a Harley rake on a skid steer that use to do all my raking but since I bought the TR3 I haven't used him. The TR3 loosens deeper than the power rake and pulls all the dibries into a pile no windrows to go back and scrape up. I live in New England you can go over site ten times with a power rake and not get all the stones out. The TR3 does a great gob raking and the very small stones it doesn't get it buries. I hope this helps you. Now the disclaimer. I am in no way knocking a power rake they are great tools and EVERY tool has its place.
