I checked the archives and think I'm on the right track, but, before forkin over the cash, thought I'd see what you guys had to say. I got just a few acres and the dozer tore up the youpaun and some of the junk trees but left a heck of a mess. Small limps and parts of trees, no bigger than 4-5" dia. and not many over a foot or two long. Ground was listed as "loamy sand" by the engineer for the septic and powders up easy when dry. Would a landscape rake be the right tool to use to clean up all this mess? I just want to get it in a pile for a weenie roast.third party image

Thanks

I used a three point spring tooth cultivator and still had clumps of sand/dirt roots. I just pulled the clumps to the end and later spread the clumps with a box blade.

Thanks to all, The archives kinda indicated it might work for this. Now I know to look for one I can remove the tines from.

Happy New Year Y'All!!!!!

I use a 7ft. Landscape rake. It works well in areas you describe,but as indicated by others it will plug up with debri pretty fast. Simply pull the debri to the side of the field or wherever you want and go back for more. In time you will have the field looking pretty good. It likes to clog up with sod. It works extremely well in grading gravel or two rut roads. Angle it and when you get done it will look just great. Lets the small rocks thru and pulls off the larger ones. I also use it on the food plots to remove branches etc. Again takes seat time. Yes I also use it to cover seed. Suggest you get a 7 footer. Happy New Year and good luck. Ron

Zeusdog: "Yard rake" one of the best tools I ever had. Used it to do just what your talking about. Works good if put on an angle also to get large hunks of mud and stones to middle of yard. I used it also after broadcasting grass seed by hand, to cover the seed so birds don"t get the seed. Yard today looks like a million bucks. Enjoy yourself. Let me know how you make out..... ..... ..WaterBoy

I think a landscape rake would get clogged up and drag too much dirt with the clog, but if you did it with everyother tooth removed, like was prev. suggested, then it might work OK.

The spring toothed hay rake is a better bet for what you want to do. Won't catch too much dirt with it. JMO

I'm in North Florida and had about 2 acres of pine harvested and had a lot of limb debris left over.

I've just gotten around to trying to clean it up. I've been using my spike harrow and it works pretty well at cleaning it up.

I'll probably disc in whatever is left.

I'd guess the landscape rake would probably catch almost everything

Here in FL we just have the sand and no loam. I cleaned up after the land clearer had made multiple cross hatche passes with a big loader and root rake. Even though he did a great job to super clean it I used my 2N & landscape rake with every other tooth removed on the rake, it worked very well. In fact it worked so well that you may want to figure on a planning an Ox Roast on about every acres worth of wood! Our wood is mostly long leaf and sand pine, water and live oaks.
