DIY Ratchet Rake

[High Compression]

PAINT COLOR suggestion:

Paint it RUST COLORED so it will always look the same, even after heavy use.

:laughing: :laughing: Then it would match a lot of my other attachment. They are already that color.:laughing: :laughing:

Black.

Yup. Just like your answer. Simple "Black". I'm a fan.:thumbsup:

Is the ratchet rake better than a root rake? Or just more economical?

Nice job on your diy project.

Well...

They are kinda different and kinda similar. The root rakes I know of are mounted from your 3 point and can drag some stuff out. However they are pretty flexible compared to the Ratchet Rake and you wouldn't want to try and tear out small trees, roots and all with the Root Rake. At least not the ones I've used. Plus with the Ratchet Rake mounted on the FEL you can reach limbs and vines up high. So, they are kinda different. If was clearing a lot of brush, I would use both. The RR to reach in and get the tough stuff. Then use the root rake to drag all the loose stuff that I removed with the Ratchet Rake, over to a pile to burn, haul off, etc.:cool2:

I can't believe how fast you work. Wow.

When I set my mind to something, I can't hardly sleep until it's done. So I guess it might seem fast to you, but it took me about 14-15 hrs. :laughing:
