Rake Landscape Rake

Hey guys,

I getting a new compact tractor (Kubota 2350) and I'm considering a rake attachment. I only have one acre but I'm tired of shovels, hand rakes etc.

Question is how fine of a material will an attached rake pick up. Not looking to drag brush but rather little pieces and needles that break off redwoods, pines etc. and sticks that find their way into a garden during a winter.

Many thanks for any input.

Thank you, Paul

Something like this may work better than a Landscape Rake?

Welcome to TBN

! A landscape rake will not effectively pick up small/fine stuff without probably takig out the lawn as well. I believe that yekrut's suggestion is the best. Jay

I use an inexpensive tow behind dethatcher from Sears, or Agrifab, and it does a surprisingly good job as a rake in pine needles, dead grass, twigs, etc. I just finished cleaning up three acres or so with it.
