Anyone know of a used rake for sale

(quoted from post at 11:39:06 12/18/14) they are kind of pricy new and I just need to use it a couple times a year and hard to justify the expense
es, but you will have to figure out the shipping from Texas.
 
I guess I could be a smartazz and say "Yes, stop buy on your way to town tomorrow & pick it up".

Or maybe I could just be nice (it's the Holiday Season after all) & suggest that you tell us where you are located & how far you are willing to drive. And how much you're willing to pay.
 

yeah that was kind of stupid of me wasn't it..........I live in So Cal............Like to drive not toooooooooo far and was thinking in the 100 dollar range
 
Prices in your area may be different, however i bought a 5' angle and tilt capable ( mechanical pin to position )3pt rake here for 150$ new.

What are new ones running in your area.
 
Yikes!

and just to be clear, are we talking landscape rakes or hay rakes. i was thinking landscape when i posted.
 
I would use searchtempest.
You set a few parameters - location, distance, item, where on CL (like farm and garden, etc) and click search.
It's pretty easy to use. When I'm looking for something I check it every morning and night.
I looked for a couple of years for one before I found a good York brand rake. Heavy duty, has the gauge wheels and can be angled, even reversed. (though you don't ever want to reverse one - don't ask me how I know)
IMO, A rake is the best tool for smoothing a gravel drive way as it scrapes the top like a back blade but doesn't leave a ridge on the ends.
Works great for cleaning up brush, leaves and debris too.

good luck
expensive little tools here (NY)
couple years at auctions trying to buy myself a second one.
Dropping out of the bidding at $250....crazy stuff.

All implement prices have spiked, steel....
Most small dealers have followed TSC etc, and a new one will cost ya about $500. ouch

Rakes are like 2 bottom plows here.
If you find a decent one at even a -gulp- halfway decent price..grab it.

I second the thought that it is a most used tool.
(I did buy 2 pull behind landscape rakes in my searching. They are handy too)
 

I'm still not sure which kind of rake he's needing either.

I did reverse mine with some success . . . but I was very careful, having watched the Everything Attachments video on proper use of landscape Rakes. Mine is a Land Pride but the Everything one is seriously better.

I backed into an old excavator access path, that was overgrown with blackberry canes and other light stuff. I kept the rake up off the ground to protect the tynes. Then after backing in I turned it back around and pulled the canes and stuff out.

HAD to back in; didn't want to scratch my new Hats. :p

About 20 years ago I bought an 8' York rake with leveling wheels at an auction for $600. A new one like that was in the $12-1400 range at the time. I (we) still have it and use it yearly. I said we, I took it to my son's and can borrow it anytime. LOL

The picture is the one I'm after
 

When my father saw me with one of his tools in my possession, he'd ask, "Did you just inherit that?" :D

Ron,

Part of the reason I bought my particular tractor was because the rake and four other attachments came with it and everything including the tractor was delivered. I wouldn't even know where to start looking for one otherwise and 6' ones all seem to be in the $800 range.
 
(quoted from post at 05:03:58 12/19/14) Where are you located Ron? I have a couple 3 point ferguson rakes that I'm gonna let go. Emails open Keith

Agoura Hills , CA 91301..............so cal
 
Even if you can't find one for 100 bucks, save up and get one. One of the implements I didn't think I needed until I got one and now I use it all the time.

Granted, I got mine for free. Right place, right time.
 
I did too Leroy, shoot, I'm too far away from him anyway & don't think my side delivery rakes would work too well for him LOL. Keith
 
Sounds like you have the same one as I have.
Dare I tell you I paid $150 for it on Ebay about 6 years ago?
I did have to make a 400 mile round trip to get it though.
 
(quoted from post at 05:49:30 12/19/14) Reading your post I thought HAY rake, not a DIRT rake.


actually I need it for dragging through sand and getting out rocks...........anyone have a better suggestion than a rake that I'm talking about?
 
Maybe what you are looking for is what people here taught me is called a DRAG.

They are used in various configurations to "groom trails" and I can see raking up surface stones as well. I've used mine to rake up overgrown branches from trees I felled, where I didn't want to use my Landscape rake for fear of bending tynes on things hidden in the overgrowth and to rip up blackberry canes and Salmon berry bushes etc.

This one was home made and weak, so welded weak points and added the heavy brown rusty part to give it weight and strength.
The brown vertical railway rails DRAG I was calling a ripper when I used it on my old Oliver crawler to rip up new garden plots.

But "rock Rakes" do look pretty much like landscape rakes rather than "drags".
