[Mahendra420]

Just tried a Chinese brand worked fine pulling when pushing tho it folded up like an accordian.:thumbdown:

Heard of those should I go with $620 or the $840 version in the 5 foot?

Heavier is usually better. :thumbsup:

I have one from everything attachments that we have used a good bit. The weak point is around the pin pivot connection to the tooth bar. I've had to reweld the braces once and will have to do it again soon. Probably would be no different with another brand. Do take weight into consideration as heavier is better, not always in construction, but in use of the implement.

I'm an engineer and didn't know I think in a past life I worked for a German tank division that noticed stress.

I have this and its been my most used tool to date:

CountyLine® Landscape Rake, 5 ft. W - Tractor Supply Co.

That's the one I've been looking at will it push a load without folding up how many HP you using and is it holding up well teeth as well.Strong?

Chung Chang Chong folded up like an accordian under pushing a load.

I have a very fine ETA Landscape Rake. I have a Ratchet Rake on the FEL bucket.

For your tasks I find the Ratchet Rake to be a more effective attachment.

Just got my LR5 today from TSC I'm impressed almost went with the 6 was afraid of the frame flexing so far the LR5 is holding up pulled roots out the ground,the teeth didn't bend nor did the frame when pushing a heavy load.Where Chung Chang failed LR5 is holding up.They suggested at TSC of removing every other tooth that way it will pull less dirt and more debris.

Sorry to say you get what you pay for.I started out with a cheaper $400 5 ft king cutter rake it lasted about 2 months.I bought a heavy duty 7 ft. befco that cost $1200 bucks been a great rake with a lot of heavy use.

I use a Ratchet Rake on the bucket and a nice landscape rake I bought at an auction of a rental company stuff. Paid $75 as I recall and had a local guy straighten out a few bends for $20 - good as new almost. Love used stuff. You don't worry so much when it gets damaged.
