I agree with you stone on the learning curve.....

In fact, I won't even be bothered with harley raking anymore.

I just don't do enough of it to keep myself, or employees, able to do it, and do it right, in a timely manner.

I just sub it out. Plus, I find that a skidsteer mounted rake is much harder than a tractor mounted.

Besides a rock hound and of course, a york rake, I don't believe there is much else out there.

Most companies who do harley raking in my area.........do harley raking. What I mean is they are the companies banging out the 'builder special' lawns in a day, and basically have a dedicated crew for just harley raking.

As I start to think about it, I know a few guys who have harley rakes who are kind of 'part timers'. They have a rake to help out on jobs, but aren't necessarily selling harley raking as a service. The last time I saw the one guy, I remember him doing like a million passes over one section. He got it done, but not like the other crews do.
