Why You Should Buy Genuine YORK Rake Teeth:

YORK has been producing rake teeth for over 88 years, making us the expert in the field. Our proprietary process allows us to control the quality and consistency of every rake tooth. Can your supplier say the same?

Every YORK tooth is identified with a unique lot stamp, allowing us to track which coworker made the tooth, when, with which batch of steel and from what steel supplier. We’re meticulous and it shows in the quality and consistency of our rake teeth.

We mechanically test our rake teeth before they leave the factory. This ensures they meet our rigorous standards, giving you the performance and confidence you have come to expect from the name YORK. It’s also how we can stand behind our rake teeth.

In this economy does it make sense to buy a second set of teeth when the cheap ones fail prematurely? Can you afford the downtime? Didn’t your mother ever tell you, “You get what you pay for”?

Call us at 1-800-643-YORK (9675) and we will direct you to an authorized YORK dealer in your area.

Just because it’s orange and someone says it’s a YORK, doesn’t make it so!

Uses for a Landscape Rake.

The following link is to an article on eHow by Susan Mailler entitled Uses for a Landscape Rake. Hope you find it interesting. http://www.ehow.com/about_5068157_uses-landscape-rake.html

York Rake Makes a Cameo on QVC

As I was channel surfing I hit QVC as they were demonstrating a product called the Versa Wrench. I watched for a few minutes as they demonstrated how this one wrench would fit all these different size bolts. All of sudden they cut from the live demo to a taped demo and I realize that they are now tightening the center pin of our Model TA14. It would have been perfect if they had been on the other side of the rake where the logo was!

Thanks for Your Help Purchasing a Used York Rake

York Sales Dept.;

I'd like to say thanks for your help and advice when I bought this used 1985 York RW. I wasn't afraid to buy a used York Rake because of how well they hold up over years. It needed some restoration so after sandblasting and powder-coating she looks like new. York was helpful when I ordered new scarifier teeth and they even sent along complimentary decals. York was very helpful also with tips on how to use the rake to its full potential. If you can see the before and after photos, I'm sure this rake will last another 20 years. When its time for a power rake, I'll be giving York and their expert staff a call.

Sincerely,
T. Litchauer Excavating & Landscape, Lehighton PA

York Rake Heads to a Happy Customer in Australia.

Ingrid Mulholland of Australia recently purchased a Model TA14B York Rake with an 1-7/8" ball hitch for her ATV, and has this to say about her experience:

"I would have ordered more and bigger but had to have it shipped to Australia so I had to get minimum weight and size. [The Model TA14B] is perfect, the same width as my bike (ATV), so it makes it really easy to go places, the bike (ATV) handles it easily - a 450 2wd Honda. We have cleaned up one paddock in a few hours as opposed to a few days of back breaking raking by hand!I already have jealous friends and have told them all about you and how easy you were to communicate with over the internet - your willingness to organize the freight overseas! The purchase experience was outstanding considering we completed the entire purchase from enquiry to final sale and shipping online and from Australia. Thank you for everything, and for posting the missing 15" screw so quickly - I am so happy with my rake and the job it does - thank you thank you! The best bit being that I have proved my husband wrong - he was not convinced the rake would be of any use - but I keep hearing him tell people it is fantastic, when he thinks I am not listening!"

What are Modern Implements?

Modern Implements is a line of simple, yet quality built, light/medium duty landscape rakes. York has designed a simple frame and rake system – nothing more, nothing less. The only option available is caster wheels on the three point hitch models. This keeps the cost low. The cost may be low, but the quality isn’t. York uses the same rake tooth material and proprietary heat-treating process for its Modern Implements that it uses for its York Rakes. All of our rake teeth are made here in Unadilla, New York. We control the process and we control the quality. So you know these rakes will stand up. The line is also broad enough to fill the needs of ATV/UTV, garden tractor and compact tractor owners. The Modern Implements line consists of four models with sizes ranging from a 4-foot tow type rake to an 8-foot three-point hitch mounted rake. Modern Implements is the ideal choice for light/medium duty grounds maintenance around large homes, estates, horse rings, stables and driveways to name a few.
