Bill, your videos are helpful for several reasons. I go to dialysis 3 times a week, and they provide me peace and something I can watch to learn and enjoy! That's why I am such a fan!
@@billburkhart Thanks so much! I have learned so much by watching, and your voice is so soothing to listen to. You are not yelling but speaking calmly and clear. Your peaceful demeanor comes thru the screen in each video. That's why you can not stoping doing them, you never know how you are impacting others sir.
I realize im watching your older videos, ( doing catch up ). That rake does a very nice tidy job. I also appreciate how particular you are with your equipment. I myself like to keep everything looking like new condition too
I bought my tractor with a 5ft bush hog and a frontier rake... I use it mostly to clear weeds over 1ft tall, and so far I think I'm far more comfortable with the rake. One because it pulls a good chunk of them out of the ground, and two because I don't wanna hurt that mower if I run into rocks or god knows what else... I honestly didn't expect to use the rake as much as I do... but I do. I was also pleasantly surprised by how cheap replacement tines are online... after seeing that, I pushed mine a bit harder and it still doesn't care. They are incredibly useful. My only gripe is that it more or less scrapes the topsoil revealing more rocks than it actually gathers up... lol. I wish I would have bought a rock bucket instead of the bush hog :)
Thank you, I started out wanting a Frontier rake, but this one was on the lot, ready to go. I bought it and have never regretted purchasing the Tarter brand.
That looks like a great tool, and as pretty as the Frontier brand I purchased two years ago. It seem to do the job for you perfectly, and I hope you get many years of service out of it.
Looks like a great tool and seem to do the job for you perfectly and I hope to get one too been looking at 6 foot too do to it is cheaper than the 5 foot ! have a great week ! Kioti Curt :-)
Kioti this is one of the most versatile implements I have. I find new uses for it ever month.Watch for them to go on sale. Thanks for commenting. - Bill
When I use my 6' rake in the timber I just remove the pin and let the rake free float and if it hits a tree and rolls off then it straightens out on its own.
Bill. I watched this video several times and a few other videos several times as well. I am going to purchase a landscape rake and wanted to get a feel of what various jobs the rake will do for a rake owner. I think you did a fine job breaking in the rake. if you're going to pay hard-earned cash for an implement, you need to know how dependable it is and what it's limitations are. Thumbs up. I just subbed your channel. Have a great week.
Happy Thursday Houndsman One. I hope you enjoy your rake as much as I enjoy mine. You"ll find so many more uses for it once you get it. Watch for sales, I found mine for about $300 new.
Hello Steve, my forks are 42" and they've lifted everything I wanted to lift. This was my first attachment and I wouldn't know what do to do without the forks now. Very versatile.
I wouldn't buy forks less than 42". Once you have a set you'll discover how versatile they are and the ability to lift things further out from your tractor comes in handy.
Hello Mickey 17y, it's holding up very well, I use it every week and never regret purchasing it. Thanks for saying hello, and taking time to comment. - Bill
How has the rake held up. I have read alot of the comments on the one they sell at tractor supply, seams to be a fair amount of people that have had issues with it bending.
Hello Woody- This rake is the Tarter brand rake and I haven't had one issue with it. I'm suspicious the rakes may have been used beyond their design limitations. I recommend this brand as it has worked well for everything I've done with it.
Some people can and will destroy any tool they use because they don't recognize the limitations or select the proper tool for the job. They generally blame the tool.
I have 75 hours on my tractor and have had it two years. I like the tractor size as it allows me to get into tight areas. It's a good machine to maintain small acreages, I have 17 acres. If you want to go into more utility work, perhaps a larger tractor should be considered. I really enjoy the machine.
I maintain a small amount too.15 acres. 5 of which are grass and the other 10 are woods.I think it's a great tractor for me to maintain my driveway and made some paths in the woods and some small job around the house. I'm thinking more towards the 2025R for the ground clearance for in the woods. thanks for your input
don't base the size of the tractor on the size of the land... base it on what work you have to do with it. In my case I went with a 3025e - same power, but bigger wheels and tires, because the 1025r I rented spun way too easily... The 41" tires are waaaay harder to spin and I haven't loaded them yet. I am in arizona so our soil is more sandy though so your mileage may vary. Rent one, see how it works out, and go from there. :)
Bill Burkhart I bought a 4ft county line hog it seems to be tough so far it will take out up to 1in privet hedge no prob I have a 78 hinomoto tractor 2 cylider diesel it slings that hog well.

Gary, that rake was really handy for so many things. Thanks again for binge watching-Bill
Great attachment! Thanks for sharing. Love the content!
December 2021 My landscape rake is still working well, no damage, no design failures, this has been a good investment for me.
Looks like it does a great job! Happy trails to you.
Happy trails and Happy New Year ditdot152- Bill

I know Im kind of off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released movies online?
@Sincere Ivan Flixportal :P
@Brecken Peter Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !!
@Sincere Ivan Happy to help :D
I'd be interested in seeing an update on how that has held up and if you still think 6 ft was the proper size.
Hi Cartwright, I would still tell anyone the 6ft is not too large for the tractor. Thanks for asking.
That looks like a great tool, and as pretty as the Frontier brand I purchased two years ago. It seem to do the job for you perfectly, and I hope you get many years of service out of it.

Christopher Kent Hello Chris, that’s a great idea I’ll definitely try tha our this spring. Thanks for the tip.
I meant to write I’ll try it out next spring

Wow, now that's a dang good price.
New to your channel enjoying your videos.
Thank you for watching, I get a new video out a month and enjoy sharing how I use mine. Could not imagine having one now.
Thank you Christopher, I appreciate your support
Nice rake.
Thank you, I use it a lot and find new tasks for it ever week.
What’s the length of forks on your pallet forks I’ve been debating on 36 or 42
Hello Steve, my forks are 42" and they've lifted everything I wanted to lift. This was my first attachment and I wouldn't know what do to do without the forks now. Very versatile.

Looks pretty beefy for light duty.

D B I agree...well said !
I need to touch-up a Tarter Subsoiler I recently bought. Is factory paint available or did you just go with best match from a Hardware store?
I just used the best match at the hardware store. I'll post the color later, I think it was a Cat Mfg color. It matched perfectly.
I was looking at the 1025r and the 2025r ,how do you like the 1025r
I have 75 hours on my tractor and have had it two years. I like the tractor size as it allows me to get into tight areas. It's a good machine to maintain small acreages, I have 17 acres.
