 price check for York rake

Hardwood, the Land Pride 1584 rake is a lot heavier than most but it does well with the driveway and evening out the gravel. 2" gravel is tough for anything to move around once it is packed down and should not need much tending to. The rake can move and even it up pretty well provided it is not packed down. I have 2" gravel at the bottom of the hill of my driveway in a turnaround. It is packed down pretty good but I was able to spread it out last season even though it was packed down. It should handle the field stones pretty well provide you don't go too far overboard with respect to size and number volume. Much bigger than large grapefruit size and the weight will begin to flex the combs more than should be. I am VERY satisfied with mine. I just wish they did not cost so much. I guess that can be said about many tractor related items. ;o)

 price check for York rake

I have a 2 year old Befco rake, 6', behind my TC45D. I wish it was a 7'. The original owner paid $475 for it, and I maintain a 600' stone drive with it, and it works great. If all you are doing is maintaining a drive, and occassional lawn work, I don't know that you need to spend alot on a rake. Gauge wheels might be nice, might help you to crown the drive a bit.

 price check for York rake

I recently purchased from our sponser here : Corriher
a 5ft rake with offset and tilt..its a solid unit and is real heavy for a rake (close to 300 lbs) its a midwest unit from the looks of it. Look on their Ebay links for the prices...also picked up their core aerator 48", thats even heavier...but I'm young, drink lots of milk, healthy as a horse, and use a weight belt moving these things !! (hehe)
Very happy with the prices and quality...

Duc

Cheif, thanks for the info on the 1584 rake. I had some 1 in. rock delivered a few days ago, and the dealer has offered to let me demo one this coming week. It sounds like you're real happy with yours, so I'm sure I'll buy it. I have several other pieces of Land Pride equipment that have all been top quality. The dealer also now handles Frontier brand that offers a rake too. Is Frontier owned by Deere? I've noticed several pieces of Frontier on their lot, but haven't taken the time to look at them. Thanks, Frank.
