Feedback: Daniel Mfg Rake

Has anyone used this particular rake, any likes/dislikes. Looks to be a lot simplier in design and use then the Harley box rake that is heavily advertised.

Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
I don't have any experience with it, but it looks like it might be a good scarifying tool. But I think the rolling drum of a Harley or Piranha is going to do a better job of leveling and tilling/prepping the soil.

For reference, we've used a Harley for about 8 or 9 years.

I haven't used one and you haven't mentioned what you are looking to do, but that tool would be appropriate for grubbing and leveling, but I don't see it doing much for separating stones from the soil. It would float them to the top, but not rake them off without a multitude of passes.

I'm thinking mostly to prep for seed/sod after a large install project - more or less to restore the areas compacted and driven on. This particular piece seemed to be fairly simple, not a lot to go wrong on it. Less moving parts intrigues me.
