Damn! I have been searching craigslist everyday and just been paying attenion to anywhere that would possibly have one for sale recently! I went to buy an older Exmark for $500 and needless to say it was sold very quickly!! There will be others! I am also searching for a dump insert. It is getting old pitch forking 22 yards worth of grass out of my truck after mowing all of those yards!

Try shoveling with one of those big wide aluminum shovels. I like that a lot better than a porchfick.

I will have to give that a try! Usually by the end of the day mowing it has become compacted and I have to break it up to get it out of the truck.

Those aluminum shovels have a huge scoop so you can get a lot of material, but are thin enough that you can slide them under compacted grass. Just go along the bedliner...you can't shovel into the grass.

I used to use a metal gravel rake but I use something like this now... long tines and only about 6-8 inches wide.

Yeah I use the plastic snow shovels, double use - use em in the winter and the summer for mulch.

Use one of those Fork Hoes and then a regular leaf rake after to clean it out real nice, it'll work man. The other thing I used to do is put a large tarp in the bed before you put grass on it then once you get some off with the Fork Hoe you can pull the tarp off.

I will try using both. My uncle has one of those metal shovels (where I dump) and I actually have one of those hoe/rakes in my shed! I never thought about using it but I will give it a try!

You'll be amazed how quick those things are man... those 1 foot wide garden rakes I thought were the best until I used one of those Fork Hoes!
