I have both for my B3200 but I think they are two different tools if you have larger trees and stumps the tooth bar works great but small saplings and briars the Rachel rake is the way to go. You wedge the pricker bushes in between the teeth and pop out the whole thing roots and all. I cleared a fire pit area back in the woods probably 50' by 40' it was full of prickers and poison ivy. Cleared all that with the RR and two years later nothing has grown back.

I know this is a very old thread - but I was wondering if someone who has one can advise the weight of the small unit and the thickness of the steel-- I have an older B7100 and are worried about the added weight on the bucket

Maybe check with the MFR of it ? Their website 'should' have that information .
Looked at that but doesn’t have the specific details and I sent them an email but haven’t had any reply. Would be great if anyone who has one could send me some detailed close-up pictures with a ruler for sizes. And maybe give me an idea and roughly how much it weighs.

I bought one over 10 years ago. Used it on one job (that essentially paid for it). And never used it again.

For the last 10 years, it's sole purpose is as an extra counterweight on my LMC box blade:

It's 6' wide, weighs 110 lbs and looks to be about 1/2" thick steel. You can count the teeth from the above pics.
