Rake Buying a Rake

[WayneB]

Rakes are not cheap and do you need the leveling wheels may depend upon what you are going to use the rake for. I have a five foot Leinbach that was real cheap, sure there is a reason they are cheap, and find it does a reasonable job but the ability to control the depth is not there.

We have a dirt road that is about 1000 feet long and during and after mud season I go out and rake the road. The road looks better after it is done, but there is no way I can control the rake depth. This is partly due to the control over the 3 point hitch on my tractor, but again if I had wheels on the rake I would set them and be able to repeat the depth of the rake during each pass.

As for using it to remove rocks and what have you it does a great job! What are your plans for a rake?

I have used these guys in the past with excellent results - the link has pricing and it still very good - guage wheels are additional...I dont think the pictures are accurate, I received a midwest rake with angle adjustment ability, which they dont show in pictures

You and I are live fairly close to eachother. Where by chance did you buy your rake?

I bought it from a place near Sumner. It's called Brim Tractor. It's on Valley HWY E. If you are driving towards Puyallup on 167, you'll see it on the right side of the freeway. There's a bunch of blue tractors there. I caught them just as they were closing for the evening. At first, they said they wanted $450. I started to turn to leave when the dealer asked me to hold for a sec. He made a call and got permission to let it go for $300 cash. It's a Woods. if that means anything.
