I've been pondering the concept of building my own pine straw rake, using some angle iron and flat bar steel stock that I have in my shop. I'm envisioning the removal of the blade from my rear scraper blade, and bolting up the home-made PSR to the lower edge of the scraper. That way I can use an implement in my inventory and not have to bother with fabricating a 3PT setup.
However, PSR tines are expensive - I've seen them going for $15 apiece! I figure to make up a 60" PSR, it'd cost me more than $510 just for the tines alone
Now I know I can just order one cheaper from EA, but to have it shipped, they'd have to cut the 3PT, and I'd have to re-weld it. Not only that, but I'd have to find a local pickup point and make the arrangements, etc. Besides, I want to see if I can't make my own implement - bragging rights and all that, you know
Has anyone here ever made up their own PSR (note: I mean a PSR, and not a landscape rake, two different critters) for less money?
