I have been wanting to try one of these for a while now and finally had some projects I thought it may work well on so I ordered one. Knocking down brush & saplings starts at 11:30 you can get this at http://ratchetrake.com/ I got the "52” Ratchet Rake that Fits Buckets 45”54” Machines up to 60 HP made out of 1/2" Steel Plate for $299.99 +$29.99 shipping I believe I ordered it on a Saturday night or Sunday and I received it on that coming Thursday. I have now used it maybe 68 hours total, about 6 doing the work in this video "not all of that time is shown but you can see the finished product" and another few hours making a trail for a new fence line so far I am very impressed its a fantastic attachment that is going to save me massive amounts of time, and the ability to get things done a lot faster the amount of work I have done with it in 8 hours probably would have taken me at least twice that to do it by hand.
