Field Tuff ftf-60psr3pt Pine Straw Rake 3 Pt

I would not call it real heavy duty but the quality appears pretty good for the price. Arrived in good order. Assembled in about an hour and half without rushing. Watching youtube video helps. Haven't used it much but it made quick work of cleaning up bark, wood chips etc. from around my woodpile. A lot better than using a hand rake!

I was a little skeptical about this as it was pretty inexpensive and light weight. Showed up a day early, about 30 min to assemble including rounding up 16-17 mm sockets , wrenches, and 3/8 cordless impact. Bolted right up to my category 1 three point hitch, adjusted the down setting and started raking. I cannot remember when I bought something that worked as good as this. We had 21 cedar, pine, and oak trees come down in this last snow storm. This little rake picked up branches, leaves, and mis debris, I was able to do 1 acre in a few hours. Can’t say enough about this fantastic rake.

We have used this landscape rake so far mainly for cleaning up closely packed leaves that were impacting the heath of the grass on our small acreage property. It worked exactly as we hoped it would. The tines scored the ground slightly and loosened the leaf pack. We then went back with another attachment we have for picking up leaves. Perfect. One other use so far, is for gathering up small branches left over from taking down a tree. Used the rake to gather them together into rows and then they were easy to pick up, saving labour and time. Very pleased with the quality and strength of the rake and tines. FYI, took about 3 hours to assemble.

Add my name to the list of happy campers with this attachment. I have 3 acres on a hill by the river, and this rake does double duty for me by raking in my "crop" from the loblollies as well as occasional cleanup of debris left from high storm tides. The hitch seems well designed, sturdy, and it works absolutely great with my BX subcompact. And I agree with other reviewers, too, to check your bolt-on connections regularly, or before use. They can loosen. BUT the assembly oiinstructions sure could use a few helpful "tips." This rake is by nature a little tedious to put together because each tine needs to be bolted on individually. And as a relative tractor newbie, well, mistakes can happen. Here's some of my hard-earned-learned tips: 1 - The 2-piece brackets that make up the lower hitch connections which the tines bolt to can be assembled in either of TWO WAYS. One provides for wider spacing between the lower hitch arms (about 30"); the other provides for shorter spacing (about 26"). The smaller spacing was required to fit my BX. This was not noted in instructions. (Bonus tip here: it's best _not_ to assemble this rake while watching a college football game, etc., or you might miss the fact that the welded hitch connectors are _not_ centered on the brackets. To correct that mistake means having to disassemble e-v-e-r-y one of the tines and start over from the beginning. Aaarghh! ) 2- I also noticed during my multiple assemblies that, at least for my installation, the weld spots for the two outer tines (which have two tines on them) were such that I could mount them to both point either slightly outward or slighly inward, with the welds' height securing them from moving once the tines were bolted down. I chose outward. Hope this is helpful for some others. PS: It's made in free Taiwan.

Just put it that together today. Looks strong the only problem I have is it doesn’t fit on my land pride quick attachment.Seem the lower mounting bracket need to move to the outside about one and half inches to fit.
