3 point landscape rake

[Anonymous-0]

Have a ton of branches to clean up after the ice storm. Cleaning up big stuff with skidloader and pickup,still going to be a lot of twigs and small branches to clean up. Thinking of getting a 3 point landscape rake for this. Anybody use one for this? How did it work? Thanks.

That's a tough one.....

It will help, and work, but not as good as one might hope.

I really like my landscape rake for grooming the gravel driveway this time of year.

It's pretty hard on the lawn when I try to rake that.

And it likes to plug up quickly on branches.

But it beats just picking them up by hand....

So I don't know what to say there.....

you can never have enough tools for your tractor.

I use mine to sweep up the grape vine cutting after pruning. as long as you have position control on your tractor so you can hold the ends of the rakes at just above the the ground level,

it sweeps the grape vines right up

I also like it to groom the gravel in the drive way.

I like mine, would not want to be with out one,
but I also have the scraper blade and also the box blade, all have a purpose.

see if you can borrow one, before you buy, try it out.
a lot of money to just set there and never be used if you do not like it.

one tool I use very little, but always want to have one around is the post hole digger. my neighbors like it more than me.

i have used a cub tractor with a 59" belly mower
run over everything a few times then only have the bigger branches to pick up. everything else was ground up
never had any luck with a York rake/landscape rake
