Any comment on the following remarks from "old fool" dated 08-13-2011? I have contacted you about shipping costs on a rake but I have since come across this which gave me some reason for concern:
I just bought a rake from (Temporarily blocked due to reports of company closure). No problem ordering it. The price included shipping to a freight forwarder about 30 minutes away. It came on a pallet. The forwarder loaded it in the back of my one ton. At home had no trouble getting it out of PU with my BX25, a chain and the front loader. Only assembly was attaching wheels. Some of their welding mistakes made that harder than it should have been but I got it together. Then I tried to use it. Still donʼt know it it was me, the rake, or the 3 point but every time the rake would get little load of roots and junk, the tines would dig deeper. The deeper they went the more junk they collected. The more they collected the deeper they went etc., etc., etc. When I raised the 3 point a little the whole thing would spring up and drop most of the load. That is one problem. The other is the design of the wheels. If you look at a picture of a yellow York rake you will see that the vertical shaft that the wheel turns on, comes down almost in front of the wheel. It has no choice but to caster. The vertical shaft on the Everything rake comes down almost on top of the wheel. The axil is only a couple inches behind the vertical shaft. You try to make a turn, the wheel stays turned when you straighten out and then plows a nice half moon furrow down each side of the rake as you move forward. I sent an email asking if there was something I was doing wrong. I got an email saying that they got my email. Then nothing. I donʼt know if their policy is youʼve got the problem but weʼve got your money or if they knew there was a problem but didnʼt know how to fix it. Iʼm having a triangle welded to each side of the wheel bracket and mounting the axil an additional six inches behind the vertical shaft. I expect that problem will be fixed. Still donʼt know about the other one. Maybe I just need more practice. To dig up the roots I mounted my box blade leaning way forward, (hydraulic top link would have helped) extended the scarifiers, and drove around trolling for roots and rocks. Didnʼt get any trophies but did get a few keepers. One rock was about 200 lbs so I kept it in the bucket for added front traction. Who ever said it, you are right. It seems that most people just use their rake to spread gravel on the driveway.

For the gentleman that was having trouble using the landscape rake on the Kubota BX25, usually there are two problems, one is most dealers do not explain how to use a rear three point hitch that is not a position controlled hydraulic three point. On a BX, and other subcompact tractors, it has a neutral lift. That is where you leave the handle in neutral and then have an up or down. There is nothing in between. That is where knowing how to use this lift is very important. The first thing you need to know with a neutral lift is after hooking up the implement of your choice, raise the lift all the way to the top, close off the valve which is normally located between your legs,(looks like a water spigot handle.) then lower the lift. Your arms will not move because you have closed it off. Then slowly open the valve until you get the rate of fall that you like. For almost all attachments, you will operate this lift in the neutral position, and then bump the handle up or down and back to neutral depending upon what you are trying to do. But if you leave your lift in the lower position, it will continue to go down further and further, causing the exact problem the gentleman had described. We have had no problems with the wheels not tracking properly, on a smaller tractor like this, with gauge wheels and a neutral lift, what may also help in using it like a grader and not going too deep, you might try unhooking the top link and using it like a grader. I hope this helps.
Thanks for reading.

Is everything attachments still on board? I sent them a PM the other day about a grapple and haven't received a response.
Thanks!
Thanks!

The answer is no, but they get you a good deal on shipping outside the 1000mi limit.
I just ordered and received their ETA landscape rake with gauge wheels
For very reasonable $80 extra it was shipped to the Yellow Freight terminal in Denver which is 527mi beyond the 1000mi limit
I hauled it to our place in the mountains because the extra 150mi from the Denver terminal to our place at 8600' was really $pendy...

My place is 967 miles from their door, but they list the 1,000 limit about 100 miles south of here making the shipping zone 867 instead of 1,000 miles. I called them on it and they said sorry. we go by our circle and not real mileage.
Why would anyone advertise free shipping and then change the parameters by 15% less? With the easy access to online mapping that is very, very accurate, I don't see much excuse.
When I sent them a note about the issue they left a message for me asking what they could do to not lose my business. When I do order something I will probably get it from my local dealer since I always try to support the local guy, but I if the local guy does not have it in stock I may give these folks a shot, depending on his mileage limit.

kootch I am a little further north than you and last year when inquiring myself I was told for a small additional fee they would deliver it at a terminl. If I remember correctly it was in Westbrook. The additional fee ceratinly was reasonable.
