Brush rake is about the best, for a B series 5' should work well
It'll be one of those seldom used toys, so no need in dumping a ton of money into something you'll use once in a blue or red moon LOL

There are several posts here about ratchet rakes. They look like they might do the job; they have several videos on utube. A landscape rake may also work. You can probably buy both for the price of the brush rake. At least the landscape rake can be handy down the road, maintaining a gravel driveway.

As far as what brand, I would just avoid anything that looks too light, and flimsy.
Light, flimsy and tractors don't work well together!

Eric, you hit that nail on the head. I have used mine 3x and the rest of the time it collects dust.
As far as brand goes. The ones TSC sells are heavy enough and will work as good as any other brand does.
I live in SC. We just had a hellacious ice storm that broke tons of limbs out of my 2 acres of pine tree. I used a B-3200 hst and a 6ft landscape rake to drag most of them to a burn pile. This worked quite well for everything up to about 3 inches. It did a great job tithe the straw and smaller debris. If you decide to try a landscape rake, check with your local rental guy. Should be around 50 to 75 bucks a day.
