Been lurking, but now have a question

[Drsmile]

The kids...yes they are def. my assistants. My daughter always falls asleep on my lap while working with the tractor My son loves to operate the FEL (he would have been good at pacman!!) The area is about 2-2.5 acres to clean up... Just trying to find an excuse for a new tool, but my back may end up being the tool of choice.

From a purely food plot perspective, that's ready to plant, with a bit of surface disturbance. If you want pasture, I can see the cleanup in your future.
You and others might find these links useful:

If that ground is as loose as it looks, a york rake may work to pick and pull to a common spot. A york rake will move a lot of small stuff but it will also pack and move dirt with it.

Looking at your picture I think the landscape rake with every other tine removed will work. After disking you could rake it again if necessary. Taking out the tines as described will keep it from carrying so much dirt with the trash. Pull the debris into a rows spaced 75 to 100 ft apart then run along and throw all the trash in the bucket. A six tined pitch fork would be my choice to load the bucket letting the dirt fall back to the ground. Less than a day's work from what I see.

I would suggest you go to Everything Attachments, a TBN advertiser, and watch their videos. They are how-tos use
the attachments. They may also give you some ideas...:thumbsup:
