Rake Found these used rakes on Craigslist - whacha think?

Glad to see you are having fun with searchtempest. I've found many a thing using it, if you are willing to drive a little further. Try a lot of different search terms, as was suggested by another TBNer.

I like the woods rake. Pretty nice. May be a bit high on price considered what ETA wants for a new one delivered to your door. On the scraper, I'd want one that was 6-way, meaning rotates and tilts. The price is not bad though. The box blade is too expensive in my opinion, but looks to be plenty for your tractor. I wouldn't go more than $400 for it myself.

I sprung for the Rake. I pick it up next week. My FIRST attachment :dance1:

ETA was $913 delivered. This was $500 picked up. They wouldn't budge and I had been seriously considering buying one at TSC for $500 w/o wheels, so I went for it.

I am looking at ETA for a Box Blade though, unless I can find one used for less than above.
They suggested I don't go any bigger than 48" on the box blade and that would be $587 delivered. I found a few 60" and all were asking that or better.

I think I am going to skip the Back/Scraper Blade for now though. That red one was 4 way.
By the way, ETA has a Landscape rake that is offset for small tractors with an 8 hole angle at the back so you can really dial in the setting. Pretty cool idea :thumbsup:

Well here it is...drove 2.5 hours yesterday to go pick up the rake I bought last week sing unseen (aside from pictures)

Was well worth the trip. Beautiful day for a drive, but I somehow missed out on a used Box Blade on craigslist that was near here. He must have put it up for sale after I bought this and sold it before I scanned craigslist prior to making the drive out. Ad was still active but it was gone :-(

If I don't find a used 48" box blade by the time the Spring Thaw is done, I will buy a new one from Everything Attachments.

So without further ado...my FIRST ATTACHMENT!

Its 18*f here today and I think we're still at 18" of snow cover on the ground. It'll be a LONG TIME before things melt off and dry out enough to use this.

I also keep the 3PH arms off the tractor so it fit in the garage easier (just got it) I need to change that for next winter though so I can use the weights on the back.

Next up is to either get a Heavy Hitch, Omni Hitch or buy a welder and make my own hitch that I can add weight to.
