Site clean up rake & chipper trash push tool combined

[derwoodii]

Been havin issue with chipper push tools eg tyne rakes going tho chippers & metal parts or aluminum handles not good for knives so was looking for solid big tyne rakes in polyplastic that takes on wooden handle & i think we found best option ezee-rake-head made in USA so should be easy to source.

- Features teeth on one side and a levelling and smoothing blade on the other.
- Head Width: 560mm. - Timber handle available.


Its a golf sand bunker rake cheap but solid enuff to clear up the site and push logs and trash into the chipper rollers

We use the poly scoop shovels to push debris into the chipper. They are entirely plastic to will not damage the chipper.

Yes used these as well but for leaf and twig trash a good deep wide tyne rake is the go to tool then it needs to be able to push it all into feed wheels

My gut tells me that rake head will snap when you start pushing on it too hard.

Its holding up so far and the only one apart from rakes with steel parts or brace which we have banned from chippers..crews have not complains of it so another good sign

I just make a shove stick outta a limb always works and if it gets in my blade no bang boom. Also I can''t beat the price
