hi td, the ford is a 8700 and the rake is a Pedrick stick rake. It is amazing what you can do with a few pictures and some music.

Nice video, Dave. It sure is dry out there. I had a look at the rainfall map and it looks like you might have scored some rain in the last month or so. I reckon there could be quite a few of those old Pederick rakes hiding in yards under trees. They were used quite extensively in SA, for raking stumps, especially in the South East and on the West Coast, when clearing was all the go, of course it has all been stopped now.

Thanks RnR, the rake makes light work of stick picking, my back is getting sore just thinking about it. The rake works real well through the deepest melonholes. :D

Thanks for the Picture Tour of your Place, Your Cattle sure look good to be as dry as it looked, way back in the late 70s i cleared up some land to farm, and i used a tractor drawn rake something like you'll were using, & come to think of it, that is what it was called, Australian Root Rake, It did a fine job of sweeping things up after the Dozers were gone, we pulled some heavy disk over the land, then ran a 80 ft. land plane, by then there was all kind of stuff worked up to the top, we ran this rake over the place 2 times and we were ready to Farm, we grew Milo the first year, then went to Soybeans, PS: That Dozer Operator sure has a Dusty Job
