Question about using a landscape rake

[lzicc]

I have a KK landscape rake and I noticed that you can turn 180 degrees. What would be the purpose of doing that?

I use mine turned around for smoothing. This way you don't collect much material.

There's a nice informative video on YouTube by everythingattatchments about all the uses for a landscape rake.

I like that. I wonder if that would work well on a limestone driveway. When I use it on the driveway the regular way, it picks up the too many stones.

Going forward with rake in reverse you can shallowly cover seed beds, especially wildlife food plots.

Sometimes a LR works better pushing yard debris into piles when reversed and the tractor is operating in reverse.

I run in reverse when I do not wish to drive over piles. Especially piles that could puncture tires, namely old boards complete with nails poking out.

Yes it will indeed,that's how i smooth mine after boxblading the holes out and then using the rake to crown.

That's how we smooth and level gravel with our ROBB too, run forward with the blade facing backwards, it's like using a spatula to smooth out frosting on a cake.

In fact, I'm looking around on EBay for a new shorter top link to make it tilt forward even more and allow it to smooth more and transport even less stone from one place to another.

Wait a minute. I don't know abut this and from the comments I'd say I'm the last to know.

Can you explain more how this works for dirt of gravel a little larger than you have? Sounds like a great idea.
