I got my Worksaver rake from Dick at Intervale Hardware in Wilton. Nice and heavy with gauge wheels optional. Cost was $598.

I have a new 8' Leinbach HD rake for sale for $480. I'll try to borrow a digital camera and post a picture if you're interested.

Hi Jay,
No, I want to keep the "7 foot".Sorry.../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
I bought the 8' new @ an auction last year for $480...when I couldn't go through the woods easily, I then bought the 7'.
I would only recommend the larger 8' if you have flat open spaces, definitely not anything confined.

Hi John,
I think I really need a 6' rake. The 8' will be too big for my needs. (even the 7' now that I think of it). I have some steep hils and a couple of tight areas. Even though I will have to make more passes I think the time behind the wheel will improve my skills. Do you use your tractor for commercial or just residential? I have been told that the bigger rakes are a favorite for landscapers. Are the larger rakes built tougher? Are the smaller more for finish work?

Yes and Yes
(Residential use and follow Kubota's maint. sched. plus whatever makes sense - 'course TBN is a running reference). I try to buy the best tool I can afford for the particular job at hand, that way far fewer problems and it always leaves future directions open...

Andy,
TBN for me is like training wheels on a bike. You guys have given me great pointers(Support) as well as the informational literature provided by TBN.I found this web site on Fri of last week and spent about 15 - 20 hours reading and and asking questions. This site is great for a beginner like myself who has had limited hours on a tractor. Thanks again.
