    Looks like its doing the job, only the teeth could be a little longer in my opinion,,, but thats all it is is my opinion...lol

    I keep thinking I'd like to have one for my D6c for rooting out small/med cedar and hedge trees. Looks like it would also make piling up deadfall elm trees lots easier without getting a bunch of dirt.

    Problem with longer teeth is that they can bend sideways. Looks like a well thought out and constructed bit of gear, well done. Was this homemade or by a pro shop?

    Originally it is a Solesbee's rake. They built it with the mounts close to together and the teeth point straight down, this made it impossible to rake without loading up with a bunch of dirt. We cut it apart at my shop and changed the angle and moved the mounts out to the strong part of the blade.

    Looks like the ticket to me.
