Pine Straw Rake

[EverythingAttachments]

Ted, if I lived within the 1000 mile shipping radius probably would consider it. Problem with buying large, heavy equipment is the shipping costs. This is something I would probably only be using a few times a year. The comparative quality of the EA rake is totally obvious.

PM me when you're ready and you'll be surprised at the cross country shipping! The way we build and package our Pine Needle Rakes allows us to ship them to a residence via FedEx ground for convenience.

If you really wanna be spoiled, we make a Wicked Grapple for pine needle packing; just ask Rich from California! He has one on his L47 Kubota.

Yes, we pay good money for pine needles around here. I had 50 bales put out a few weeks ago at my house!

We have long needle pines and I have an old linebacke rake works great but they have gone the way of Howse EA has good quality and are good people to work with I would use them if I needed a rake

I bought an EA pine needle rake a few years ago. I use it in the spring to rake the twigs and little branches that fall on the yard. Use to hand rake over a period of 2 weeks and the EA rake does the job in about 45 minutes. Love this rake. It works well for the few pine needles I have a well. It is one of 5 attachments I have purchased from EA and everyone has worked out well.

Feel like a dummy, no idea how I missed the post from EA on their pine straw rake. Have never bought from EA but have no doubt they are accurate and reasonable.

You must be mistaken. Aren't any dummies around here.

Question for you guys with the EA rake. What is your preference 60 or 72 inches?? Thanks

I have the EA 60" pine straw rake I had forgotten that it was shipped Fedex, but now I think about it it came in 2 boxes as I recall, one for the tines/hardware, one for the frame/hitch, which is shipped flat and bolts together. Shipping was fairly reasonable as I recall. My landscape rake on the other hand came assembled on a skid and was a little pricey to ship, but well worth it for the quality. Only issue I have with the pine straw rake is I had to modify it to fit my quick hitch. I knew that in advance, but do wish the drawbar spacing had been quick hitch compatible. As far as the top link attachment, with a Harbor Freight QH, with the hook at the topmost setting, it works ok. Not a perfect fit, it is almost not high enough, but it does stay in ok. I will adjust the pin on the rake one of these days. Ted says you need all that height to make it dump, but I haven't seen any reason it won't work if the pin is a little lower.
YMMV
