The rake works much better now, tho’ there is still an adjustment out of whack and I have to start the trip by pulling on a chain and then allowing it to trip. Wish there was some old timer around here to show me how to adjust it. Still worked good and much better than it did before. Plumb comfortable to ride on now too.
I gave Gabe, my 6 year old grandson the camera and had him take some pictures. He took over 100! Most were pretty good and lots were really good. Must have his mothers eye for taking pictures, tho’ with these new cameras it is pretty simple. Heck I even take a good one now and then! 😉

He did a great job with the photos! Looks like the pair did a good job too. Are you working at a trot in one pic there?
They trotted most of the time except when I could slow them down to a walk. they finally got the edge worked off and went at a walk, mostly. I wish they would just walk, but they have a lot of git up and go.
Gabe did a great job!!! Looks like you were having way too much fun with that team! It is so funny to see someone using the old rake because around here most people use them for lawn ornaments!
Not anyone else using these old rakes around here either. What can I say, I am old fashioned and the other rake i have doesn’t work worth a hoot! Wish I had a light wheel rake to pull with this team.
Do you have a foot release on it or has Mickey Mouse had his way? 😉 Terril was trying to see how yours was set up in the pictures but couldn’t. That kid has some talent with a camera.
It has a foot pedal that Dad added to so we could use it behind a tractor with a rope. It worked before. When I drug it out of the weeds with the loader I am afraid I bent something. Talked to several older guys and they said that same. I might mess with it a bit and try and figure it out. Thanks. And thank Terril.
