I was at tractor supply today and ran across what they called a rake.It looks like a scraper blade for three point.Instead of having a solid blade it has long fingers curved and as tall as scraper.Could this be used to drag thru soil in garden to help remove rock. We pick them up however every time I till I unearth more.We have a very large garden and thought this may save time since it is at a premium.Thanks!

Hi,I've seen you on here and was wondering what part of TN you're from. I live in east TN in clinton, Thats about 15 miles north of knoxville. I own a 74 MF135 diesel also, Just thought if you lived close we might be able to talk about our tractors.

The rake you are refering to is known as a rock rake or landscape rake. It works excellent for removing rocks and sticks in any dirt. I purchased a used one and use it frequently. If you need to reseed any grass areas they are great for that because they create grooves in the dirt for the grass seed to lay in. Once you have one you will wonder how you ever got by without one.

Beware that some of them are manufactured using very light components ie the curved fingers. If you plan on using it for a while be sure to buy a heavy duty one otherwise you will be fixing it all of the time.

I purchase a heavy duty rake 6' in width used for $325.

Sometimes you can purchase a used one. Be sure to check your local implement dealers.

Hope this helps you out.

You may want to watch for HP required. Most subsoil implements that go deep need alot. If you can remove some of the tines that would be helpful.

Just a thought.

I have a MF 135 diesel that doesn't have a problem with a 6' tiller.It should be able to handle the rake ,don't you guys think?I also use the tractor with 5' bushog,
12"post hole digger,and potato plow with no problems exibited.I don't want to damage anything though! Thanks to both for your response.

Hello Wayne, I have an MF135 diesel and one of the 6ft landscape rakes from the local TSC. I use it a lot and wouldnt do without it. I use it mostly for spreading out horse manure after mucking stalls, and for general cleanup of sticks and brush around the pasture. It works great. Havent really used it for separating rocks from dirt but it is flexible...you could remove every-other tine if necessary (depends on size of rocks). Good luck.
