REGARDING THREE-POINT HITCH MOUNTED LANDSCAPE RAKES:​

How important is the spring action of the tines?
(ETA Landscape Rake has heavier-than-most tines, but has a 1/8" gap above and below each tine so tines can spring without encountering frame of implement.)

How often are Landscape Rakes used in the "normal"/"forward" position, being pulled by the tractor while collecting woods debris?

How often are Landscape Rakes used with the rake reversed and the tractor pushing the rake to collect woods debris?

Advantages/Disadvantages of pulling/pushing with a Landscape Rake?

Can Landscape Rakes be rotated 180 degrees with optional gauge wheels in place? NEVER? SOMETIMES? ALWAYS? DEPENDS ON BRAND?

I have settled on width, 72" for my Kubota with 59" tire width.

Operationally, what else should I consider?

Anyone enraptured over a particular brand of rake?

THANKS!

I never use my rake reversed to push backwards. I will use it reversed going forward if I just want to scratch the surface, such as grass seeding or driveway grooming when I don't want to dig into the surface too deep.
To collect debris, I use it in the forward position while going forward.
