Which Landscape Rake for rocks and why?

Here are a few pics of the 3x4 box tubing that I used to reinforce the Hawkline Landscape rake. I tried it out and used it the same way I used the weak TSC rake that I took back. I win rowed the smaller rocks and it worked really well. best of all it didn't bend or warp. I may make up a set of wheels if I see the need. I will make up a stand for it as well.

I just love it when a weld does this. I used 1/8 6013 rods on something like this and they put down such a nice looking weld. I will use it a bit and then paint it. The last pics shows that the tines are made in Italy supposedly where the better tines are made. I guess we shall see.

That was a smart idea adding the box steel to the frame. Nice welds too. I think I'll start looking for a rake, these rocks are just too much on/off tractor, bending, lifting, throwing in bucket....it never ends Thanks for the photos.

that area doesn't look that big but I have removed 50 6' bucket loads of rocks from that area. I just could not hand pick that area in less than a few weeks and that is not how I wanted to spend my time.

Sometimes you have to give up a little soil in the name of efficientcy, as you mentioned you could spend an inordinate amount of time sifting and picking throught the debris. Have to consider what your time is worth, so I agree.

Yes you are right though I was surprised how well wind rowing the rocks separated the soil out. You do end up loosing soil.
