I have been calling around the Western NY area trying to find a 3pt Harley rake to rent, and it is just about impossible. It seems this must be Bobcat and Rockhound territory. Well anyway, I did happen to find a rental at a New Holland dealer near me (the only place), but they want $200 per day, plus delivery ($150). The way it has been raining, I may have to hold it for a week to get 3 days worth of raking done.
Should I just buy one of these implements? I was thinking about starting a side business, do you think there is money in just Harley raking as a specialty? How much would you charge per hour? Is the risk worth the reward? Could I just rent the Harley rake to people with a tractor? I do have the tractor (TC33D) and a 18ft landscape trailer. I have noticed that every landscaping contrator around this area has expensive new equipment, so there must be money in it.
Let me know what you think.
