Rake York model RI Cat 1 landscape rake

[nickel plate]

I have a 2002 New Holland TC40 (40 hp) and am looking to buy a York model RI 8' landscape rake with the two optional castor wheels. If you have had any experience with this rake, please tell me your findings, good or bad.
They are made back east and I live on the west coast and their website lists no dealers out here. Not really a problem as the moving parts are few and I have found mail order tine/tooth replacements for around $15.00 each.
Thanks in advance.

Check out Land Pride and Woods before you buy a York. They have good quality implements and have dealers out here on the West Coast. Here are some links.

I drove down to SoCal and bought it for about a third of the new price. It was used only once (and shows it) to peel up some existing turf on a project. Turns out that the fellow that sold it to me was connected to the building of the ball park "Field Of Dreams" movie. What a story he had about working in the Heartland over the Fourth of July! Great people.
