I have a harley rake and have used a landscape rake many times, for my are and needs a harley rake is a must, since most builders around my area do a rough grade way too slopy.
Harley rake will till the ground couple inches down and smooth the surface quite nicely if properly used.
It will push rocks to the side or front, I would buy the one that angles from inside the cab a little bit more money but worth it.

Landscape rake will only go about an inch down and pick up rocks also but it will not help at filling up any low spots or pick up big rocks.

For me a harley rake is of much better use around my area, since is rocky and lots of low spots to fill after the builder has left.

A landscape rake would be nice if the property would be within 2" from final grade and rocks 4" and down.

Also make sure your skedsteer unit can handle the landscape rake cause the unit itself is heavy and after it gets full it will tip a smaller unit.
