I've seen landscape rakes at tractor supply and at the tractor dealers here in town and often thought about buying one, don't really know what they will and will not do. Do they do a good job pulling rocks out of a field? grass? i just hate to spend money on one to find out it doesn't do me any good. thanks for any help

A landscape rake, or York rake, is used more for leveling dirt or for raking rocks off a fairly hard packed surface, like a road. They aren't a rake in the sense that they will "rake" grass and such. On relativly smooth areas they will rake branches and stones off the surface. They are great for leveling a fresh worked lawn type job. Some come with a drop down "grader" type blade that will cut the humps off. Try and find a contractor using one and see how it works. They won't "pull" a stone firmly in the ground, just ride over it, unless you get into a really big rake.

Last year I planted some grass in the area behind my house. What I did to get the ground ready for planting the grass is use my 4-wheeler, (a garden tractor would work too) and I made a rake out of a 4X6 timber. I took a 4X6 treated timber and nailed 6" spikes in it every 3-4 inches and then flipped it over and used 2X4's to attach it to the rear of my 4-wheeler hitch and I used steel channel to weigh down the 4X6 timber so it digs into the soil a bit. I was able to scarify the soil to get it ready for planting grass seed and I was able to pull rocks out too. This is the cheap way to do it for under $20, I didnt like the price of landscape rakes either.
