After looking for nearly 6 months for a used Harley Rake, I decided to just go ahead an purchase a new one. I went to a local dealer who sells Woods Equipment, and got a price of nearly $10K for a Woods TPR7200-2 power rake.
The $10K really wasn't quite in my budget. I contacted the regional Paladin sales rep, and he put me in touch with the local Harley Rake dealer who quoted me $6.5K for a T-6 Harley Rake delivered to my location.
I went back to the first dealer and told him the price difference, he said "Here's the Wood's price book - look for yourself." I did, and in fact the Woods' power rake is $9.5K and with shipping that would bring it to $10K.
They seem like the same piece of equipment to me - anyone have any ideas as to why the Woods is $3K more?
