Looks like that'll work, can you reverse it and have a straight edge too?

when iam done with the landscapeing all i have to do is unbolt it and put my cutting edge back on and i have my backblade back.

Cool, the only issue is rebar does not provide spring action and easily bent. It will work if you are moving crushed rock and don't hit a big rock. It is cheap and easy to replace tines(aka, rebar). Good idea I do use rebar alot to make stuff.

thanks,i have the area where the new lawn is going in quack dug and there is alot of little rock so i am going to take the third arm on the 3 point and set it so we are just skimming the surface to drag the small stones in a pile and pick up with the fel.update i used it for the first time today and it beat my expectations,it worked great.

update i tried the lawn rake today and it beat my expectations,did a fantastic job.i did hit some big rocks and bent a few but will straighten out with a little heat.

good. heat will soften the metal even more, may be quenching with water will harden it some. you can use a piece of 3/4" pipe inserted over the rebar to bend it back.

yes the 3/8 steel plate unbolts and put your cutting edge back on and you ready to go

Nicely done ! Looks like a handy device to have around. I often wondered if somebody manufactured a Rake/Rear Blade interchangeable combo unit. Great idea.
