Agreed! The “stickrake” or landscape rake is no kind of harrow! We have one, 3-point, no wheels, and use it in a variety of ways. Raking where winter feeder tires were located gets up the old hay into a pile for puttIng into the manure spreader. I actually do use it to rake under the unfenced tree lines of hayfields. It collects old leaves, limbs and fallen sticks into piles I can then pick up with the FEL to put on the burn pile. Helps keep sticks out of the hay equipment and bales during harvest.
Not so great raking paddocks or fields because it digs in to move dirt, tear up turf on rolling ground as tractor ahead rises and falls. Again, too much work to micro-manage height settings every few feet. A wheeled landscape rake might work better for that keeping teeth at a consistant height, serperate from tractor hitch height. But my chain harrow was a lot cheaper and does a good job breaking manure things up small to disperse in sun and weather.
