I ordered this 72" Landscape Rake from ETA 5/23/2013. It was delivered 6/25/2013, via Southeastern Freight Lines, Inc.
The outside width of my industrial tires is 59"; 72" is the correct width rake. Goldilocks: not too wide, not too narrow, just right. I palavered between 72" and 84", Rick at ETA advised me to buy 72" width.
$ 797 Landscape Rake
$ 299 Optiional Pair Gauge Wheels
$ 80 Residential Delivery
$1176 Delivered
Photo #1 Truck departing, rake on pallet, doubled for shipping. What's next?
Photo #2 One gauge wheel has to be removed using two 15/16" wrenches, two nuts + bolts per side, in order to pivot mast. I will add washers under bolt heads.
Photo #3 Mast pivoted. Ready to load into 3-Pt. hitch.
Photo #4 Aftermarket Stabilworks pin-adjustable rigid stabilizers/check chains, make lining up 3-Pt. lower link "eyes" with rake double clevis easy.
Photo #5 Rake is prevented from toppling forward by foot.
Photo #6 Rake raised. Gauge wheel re-mounted without fighting gravity.
Photo #7 Rake is off the pallet and ready to work.
Note: Rake arrived well padded, without scratches. Paint still a little soft.
Southeastern Freight Lines Bill of Lading lists shipping weight of 525 pounds, which included a 45" X 62" virgin pallet. Customer service at SEFL is excellent. Superior to multiple competitors that have delivered to me. Delivered during the hour promised.
