before you do anything check out www dot tr3rake dot com. I install 3 - 5 lawns per week using a tr3 rake & it works faster & better then any other implemt(s) I've tried.

  Box Scraper and Rake for new Lawn

Jim - never used a rotary harrow sorry for the lack of knowledge there. My tr3 rake is a 5' footer. Yes it's heavy but its in the high 900 lbs range. The scarifier's on it are razer sharp & heavy duty. I have loosened some of the hardest clay soil up in no time. There are mowing parts - Pipe. there are these leveling bars that move up & down to allow the grader blade to scrape the high spots & fill in the low spots. I have a rule of thumb I have always used when purchasing anything....You get what you pay for!! That goes for everything. You hire a cheap contractor to do work for you & you get cheap work. When I saw the price tag on it when I first researched it, I new it had to do everything they said it would, & it did! It has saved me major time installing new lawns & I install almost 75 Lawns a year. Most of which have poor soil provided by the builder (GC)which is usually clay. It also pulls up the vegitaion well that has grown while they build the houses.

Murf - I hope your not speaking to me about the sales pitches. I make no comissions ; P . Just giving my thoughts on the situation. By the way murf - My old 790 couldnt lift the TR3 all the way up. How do you explain that?? I value your opinion, but on the wieght of the tr3, I believe your are way off!

I just spoke to some friends down at the local transfer station. When I have the time, which could be a while, I am going to put the tr3 on the scale. I will mail you Murf, a copy of the computer printed weight sheet.
