We can't afford the tractor yet, but thankfully, we have some neighbors who help us out from time to time for cheap. Our last big job was cleaning up about an acre or so after digging up 40 or so huge stumps and the resulting roots everywhere. The York rake he used was huge and it really cleaned up and smoothed things out. He'll be back in the spring with his monster PTO tiller to break up any remaining roots and debris and give it one last raking. My first two implements once we can afford the tractor will be a root rake/grapple and a York rake. We've got 30 acres to clean up (mostly forest, but a LOT of dead limbs and downed trees everywhere) and about 3 miles of logging roads we want to maintain. I made a vid of our neighbor using his York rake and it's amazing what one can do.

It’s wonderful to have such great neighbors. We have great neighbors here as well. One of the many reasons we love our small community 😊

So did you loose the angle pin at the last? Always install pointing down, just inspect every use that the keeper pin is there.
@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid5 күн бұрын
Lol, no, didn’t lose it! And yes, I agree but for some reason that’s how it came. Not sure why

It's -2 degrees at 7:30 am in Perth, NY right now. It will be sunny today but we're watching movies too! I'm too old and it's too cold to work outdoors here in the Southern Adirondacks! Nice video! Merry Christmas to you!

8:44 You know how many times I have heard that phrase "I think we got every thing we need" in hope from my wife? I just smirk. No one believes it. She knows that I can justify anything.

That seems like one of those things that you only use a few times a year, but when you do, it saves you hours of work. You certainly can't beat the price. Ho ho ho.

Seems to work well for gravel. Would not work for my driveway though.

It worked great in our gravel driveway too, but we’re hoping to do the entire area around our house next year so we’ll see. Hope alls going well with the manlift! Merry Christmas 🎄

I keep backfilling the ruts on my driveway by hand. Delivery trucks usually dig in a bit on the uphill section. This would be a great replacement for my rake. Will it adapt to a UTV?
@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid5 күн бұрын
That’s a lot of work! No, it won’t adapt but I think they actually make one for an atv tow behind…
