Advantages: Long reach

Disadvantages: none

I have used these wooden hay rakes on conservation work parties. These care really good substantial rakes. Unless you have a huge garden I doubt you wopuld need one these are more suitable for fields and paddocks. We use these on conservation clearance tasks to rake up grass after it has been cut in the autumn.

These wooden hay rakes are in fact quite beautiful in a way. They are a traditional style. Looks like a rake my great grandfathers would have used gathering the hay. .
This rake has a very wide head and a long reach. This Faithful rake has a 6 foot shaft. The width of the head of the rake is 29 in it has 16 dowel teeth There are 2 iron stays which help give the rake stability and strength. I have been able to use this rake both on flat meadow and under trees.

This hay rake should last a long time it is well made and sturdy. The wood smooth and unlikely to give your hands splinters.

Faithful is a large supplier of tools in the uk see http://www.faithfulltools.com for the wide variety they have.

The RRP for this rake is £22.94 Buckingham nurseries are selling it for £16.68p I found this out via Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk I expect we bought ours from these as it is local to us and we would have collected it.
