Landscape rake 3 point

Anyone ever use one of these I'm cutting some dead trees along a corn field when they hit the ground it looks like a bomb went off trying to find a easier way to clean it up
 
My landscape rake is one of my most used implements. I use it all the time for exactly what you are saying. I use it for many things. Last summer we had 85 mph straight line winds and my yard (5 acres) was covered in limbs, twigs and leaves. I used it to clean up and saved tons of time. Mine is 8' wide.

I have a 6 footer that I use for clean up, spreading gravel, and loose dirt. It works very good. Dont push a big log or it will twist the frame.
 
They work great, pull everything into a pile, and if you also have a loader. Push it all into the bucket. Job done! Just like a broom and dustpan.

I bought a cheap one without gauge wheels. I was concerned about how it would work. It's light enough it floats along nicely and does a good job. Until you catch something solid, like a protruding tree root. Darn! I've straightened it out more than once. The lightest possible tractor, with turf tires, which might spin a little, would be beneficial.
 
I use the heck out of mine, but not so much for cleaning up brush; it tends to dig up the dirt a bit too much. I use mine mostly to maintain my driveway. I recommend getting a fairly wide one (mine is 8 foot) with wheels.
 
I built one for Junkshow out of shanks of an IH 45 digger. Spaced them 1-1/2 inch apart. Swivel lock similar to a back blade. The purpose was to clean out brush and dead fall from a wooded lot. It works good for that purpose
 
Never used a Landscape rake but a buddy and I were tasked with cleaning up after a row of Lompardie poplars after another guy dropped them. Logs were easy but all the limbs just shattered when the trees hit the ground. This was at the local steam show site. Buddy and I decided to try the Dumprake in the junk row. Handful of swipes with that and we were done, just some stuff smaller than pencils and the mower would grind those up easy.

I bought one when we built the house,we pushed out about 500 feet on hedgerow and the rake worked great for the clean up afterward. On gravel, it can pick up a rock and send it sailing for your head. I little shortening on the top link took care of that.
 
I have had one over 20 years now,, use it to dress up roads,, by far the handiest thing for that job if you know how to use them,, used it to windrow small rocks after putting in miles of pipelines in methane fields, spreading gravel also works very well,, I did not waste money on a cheap one though,, and bought the gauge wheels,, never really tried it on brush cleaning alone,, my tines must be a better grade as I have never bent one bad like I had heard some folks say their do,, I did set mine straight when I wanted to pile up rocks on pipe lines ect if there was a nest of them, but 99.9% of the time I run it angled, my neighbors always call me to dress up their roads for them when they get new gravel. some like them some do not,, You need some H20 in the ground though,, and can work ground far wetter than with a normal rear blade, also work great for pulling any gravel rolled on the edge of a road from plowing snow

I bought a cheapie rake from RK

I think it works better picking up sticks attached to the forks on my Terramite. The forks can apply down force. 3 pt can't

Good morning Rick: I have only a small comment; When wife and I bought our present house, I found the original grading was not done well, as part of the back yard would drain rainfall right into the crawl space vents on back of house! I use a box blade to create a swale parallel to the back wall of the house, and sloped towards the lower ground a hundred feet or so off to one side of the yard. That area already had enough slope that it drained well. The related part of this comment is that I borrowed a neighbor's landscape rake to smooth the contours of the swale. That was over 20 years ago, and the rain water is still following the swale into the lower ground.
