I've got one of those carports they sell everywhere and closed in 3 sides for a goat barn. Works good, but I need to be able to drag the old hay/manure out somehow. I know from past experience that front loaders don't work for squat for this, but I was wondering if anyone tried a landscape rake? I've got a 6'blade also, but I havent had much success moving barn floor debris in the past. Any thoughts/experience?

I doubt that the rake will pull any amount. When we had sheep they lived under the barn in the winter, on bedding on the dirt. I put down a full sized railroad tie a few feet away from the wall opposite where I could drive in. I had tines made to fit in the bucket about eight inches apart. with the tines I could push right into the pack and pick it up. Then at the end I had the RR tie with packed dirt behind it to push against. It was nice to be able to do the job with almost no hand work.

What if you just tuffen the frame up so you can move it? Then you could just use a harrow and scatter the stuff all over the pasture.

The first thing I did with my landscape rake was remove every other tine. It works a lot better that way and is more aggressive. I've used it to drag out manure...works great on horse manure, takes a little more time with straw and hay mixed in. I pull a drag around the field behind the rake to spread it around. I lower the rake to break up clumps when needed. I didn't realize how much I used it until last week when I broke a tine on a job and the one I replaced it with was 2" longer! Now I need to swap in all the other long ones...
i never tried the rake , the only thing i found that will move those little goat pellets is a box blade, once i get it to a more open area i pick it up with the loader, pellets some dirt and whatever else the goats have seen fit to add, just have a few goats left now, there only used for mowing a few fences, theyss eat right down to the ground and on the green side of the pens they make a bare strip just wide enough for the brush hog to fit, so i dont have to weed eat
