5' 3-Point Landscape Rake, 5LR

The team members were an excellent help in my decision to get this rake. I got it home and immediately put it to work. Most of my rake work will be light to medium. No rocks, maybe a limestone rock, but not an everyday event. It actually saved me on time and labor. An average 6-8 hr job was finished in about 2 hrs. Then I got to play with it by spreading some soil in my utility road. My front bucket even in float mode didn't do as good as this rake did. Yea, it's foreign made but how much USA stuff can you get without spending an arm and a leg. First time in a Agri-Supply Store. I was impressed, I will be back! Reckon why TSC calls themselves a tractor supply. More "stuff' in there that's not tractor related than what is tractor related. Only wish we had one closer to my home town. Statesboro is 79 miles away, Tifton is 70 miles. Oh well, it is what it is.

This has worked great for me. The tines will bend if you pull things that are too heavy but are easily bent back in shape by hand. I broke the pivot on mine but I was abusing it pulling a couple of logs. I was able to weld the pivot back in place and away it went again. I have also bent the angle the tines are bolted to but again I was pulling large loads with it. If you have a welder you might consider welding some gussets under the angle before use since straitening the angle after it's bent would be very difficult. I am looking into adding some gauge wheels to mine for better leveling.

I got this rake to fill in holes where the pigs rooted up. Also to rake wasted hay, straw and pine shavings. It fills in the root holes good. It rakes up the hay straw and shavings really well. I also use it to move broke limbs around. With the limbs sometimes the rake jumps over them. I think most of that is operator error. I believe I don't have the top link adjusted correct. The tines are a little weaker than the better models but it still performs great. I can't see where the better models cost twice as much.
