Ep. 61 - Armstrong Ag Landscape Rake 1st Review | Blackacre Ranch

My landscape rake from Armstrong Ag has finally arrived and I got to use it today. That means I can provide a review of my first thoughts. It is the LR7 model which is a 7 feet wide category 1 rake. I tested it out on the new silvopasture (2.5 acre) that we recently cleared and mulched. The tines are meant to catch and clear surface debris and small brush out of the ground. It weighs 310 pounds so it is on the lighter side of the weight scale. The category 2 landscape rake (HLR7) would be 620 pounds. Cost is the reason I went with the Category 1 but wished I had the weight of the Category 2.

Here on Blackacre Ranch we are weekend ranchers living in the big city during the week and ranching on the partially off grid property on the weekend. We are a family with 6 kids. Our goals are to homestead the property, grow healthy food, and build good character along the way. We are new to homesteading and don't know much about it, but we are willing to share our struggles and journey as we learn how to homestead together. Think of this as homesteading for beginners where we are the beginners.

We found the cost of an urban farm too expensive and went rural to find enough acreage to do what we wanted. We wanted larger animals such as bison and highland cattle. We are game for other animals with one requirement, they have to be sufficient enough to be handled only once a week. We found an old camp property that was run down and are remodeling or fixing it up to be a working and profitable ranch.

Now we can play with guns, blow stuff up, build what we want, and do what interests us. We are located in East Texas. Come with us as we enjoy the ranch life, even if only one day a week.
