Looking for something that will do a good job of pulling up the thatch without seriously tearing up the ground so that I can get the dirt exposed and re-seed. I'll be re-seeding with food plot seed for winter grazing for the local whitetails.
I think I would be able to windrow the material with a landscape rake (I'm assuming I would need a wheel kit to avoid completely destroying the grass). whereas the drag harrow would just pull the material up so that I could rake it (dont want to hand rake 5 acres.)
Whats the best tool for the job? In the fall I also have TONS of leaves to pick up.
I'm thinking the landscape rake with a wheel kit is the best bet but I'm interested in opinions (was talking with the wife about getting this done today and she didn't seem to mind the idea of me getting the implement to get the job done.):thumbup1gif:
Anyone make a cheap de-thatcher to run on the FEL so that a rake can just scoop it up out the back?
