[AT] some tractor seat time

 Picture a lightweight scrape blade but instead of a moldboard it has a 
bunch of small spring steel tines with gaps of 1-2 inches between them. It 
is made more for finish work than clearing land, as with a dozer. They are 
normally 5-8 ft wide. Primarily something a landscaper would use, although I 
have wished for one a few times when picking up rocks in exceptionally rocky 
areas of fields. I have seen one used to rake leaves.  The leaves were from 
a cluster of huge oaks and must have been a foot deep and wet. What little 
grass there was underneath was of no concern.
