Eddie, I also found that once the rake is"full" it's best to "unload". I found that if I angled it and made a couple passes out and back I had a pretty good windrow os rocks and sticks. I would then take my son's Bobcat , sit it at the end of the windrow, then turn it around and push the debris into the bucket, that way I wasn't getting much dirt. I could then carry it and dump it off a terrace. at least you have the backhoe sitting there anyway, I have to wait till he has his Bobcat at home which is mostly on the weekends. A skeleton bucket would be nice for that so I wouldn't have to push the debris into the bucket, I could just scoop it up. I guess we will never have the perfect tool, so we keep on plugging along.
