I've been shopping for a landscape rake for that last couple of months. The prices here are insane, the Landpride c/w with wheels and shipping was $1,575.00. I did buy a Woods, like I mentioned in another thread, but returned it because I wanted taller tines, but even that set up was $1,400.00. So on the way home from work yesterday I stopped at the Kioti dealer to see what he had and he happened to have this used Kodiac for $500. It is a 6' but I was looking for a 5', but I thought at that price I could pop off a few tines if I had to. Well I used it for a couple hours tonight and am so please with it over all. The wheels are homemade and kind of flaky but I'll upgrade those later. It needs to be modified for the iMatch too but for the $1,000 bucks I saved from buying new I don't mind the little work.
I have a pond/slough area that dries up and I want to rake the lumps and logs out of it to make it easier to mow.

I worked it pretty hard and I can say the 1026R has no problem with a 6' rake cleaning up this junk. I don't know about pulling a full load of gravel but I don't plan on that.

I raked out the driveway too and it sure turned out nice. It was a lot easier that playing with the back blade and the bucket.
