[QUOTE="IL cow man, post: 840349, member: 16742"] I hate too slam a product, but DO NOT BUY a Frontier Rake. I have one and it is the biggest piece of (blank) I have ever bought. It is the best hay clumper designed. I've set and readjusted this thing a million times and I can't get it to work correctly. I haven't traded it off yet as all the dealers know they are horrible also. I have Rhino FR15 batwing and it is a great mower and is extremely heavy and tough. I have a Rhino DM 7 disc mower and won't buy another one. It is always plugging on the end at the divider board, burns up belts and i do not like the way the bar float design is set up. I bought this mower because I wanted a lighter weight mower because the heavier disc mower was hard on the 3 point arms on my tractor. I had a 1994 New idea disc mower and in 13 years of mowing never replaced a belt. I had to weld the frame once and never had a gear box go out. I did have to take the top off each unit and add lube every year and broke the drive shaft once when a hedge root jammed between two discs. i probably had 1500 hours of use with new idea mower and spent less money on it in repairs vs two seasons with the DM7. I think the new idea is the massey disc mower now. i have a different tractor and can handle the heavier mower now. [/QUOTE]
