Just picked up a ratchet rake and waiting for better weather to give it a try...lots of mature thorn bushes to remove.
Any suggestions on how to use the RR?
It's the most intuitive implement you'll find. Consider it just like your own fingers - but with steel strength. Ram into the bushes with the big teeth forward,then angle down some and use it to pull the bushes back. I've cleared a quarter acre of shrubs and berries in just a few minutes, and gotten all of the trash into a pile. Experiment with the angle of the bucket going both directions - and you can use the rake on the exposed bare ground to prepare for seeding.
The video is interesting, but it's more fun to just learn by doing. Enjoy.
