A reel for use in an agricultural header has an axis of rotation and comprises a bat and a finger. The bat is mounted to rotate around the axis of rotation to gather crop, and has a non-circular cross-sectional profile. The finger is mounted to the bat to rotate with the bat around the axis of rotation to gather crop. The finger comprises a tine and a clamshell mount to which the tine is coupled and that surrounds the bat to mount the finger to the bat against rotation about the bat.

Holes are provided in distal raking portions of the raking tines of an otherwise prior art leaf rake head for a hand-held leaf rake, to enable a clog-resistant feature in the leaf rake. The clog-resistant feature may be realized by threading a line, such as string trimmer line, through the holes.

A garden rake assembly for breaking soil in a garden includes a rake that has a head and a handle that is attached to the head. The rake has a plurality of tines that each extends away from the head. Each of the tines lies on a horizontal plane when the rake is positioned in a standing position having the handle angling upwardly from the head. Each of the tines is oriented to angle downwardly from the head when the handle is urged downwardly thereby facilitating the tines to engage soil for breaking the soil when the handle is pulled by a user.

The present invention provides a rake system for removing floating and submerged vegetation and debris from ponds. The rake system includes: a handle; a frame that includes a first cutting member, a second cutting member, one or more entrapment meshes, a floating member; and a line connected the proximal end of the handle. Methods for removing floating and submerged vegetation and debris from ponds are also disclosed.

The disclosure provided herein is directed to a hand rakepan having a handle, a head, and plurality of tines. The handle, in some aspects, is ergonomically provided to accommodate a variety of grips during use that facilitate manipulation of the hand rakepan as a hand tool using only a single hand. Likewise, in certain aspects, the head of hand rakepan has one or more grooves and notches to provide various grip's to be used during one-handed manipulation of the hand rakepan during raking, collecting, and transporting.

A head assembly for a rake is provided. The head assembly includes a base portion, a handle coupling, and a number of tines. Each tine includes an elongated body. Each tine body includes a first end, a flexure portion, an offset portion, and a distal second end. The tines includes a first set of tines and a second set of tines. A number of tine bodies in the first set of tines have an offset portion lateral cross-sectional aspect ratio that is greater than 1.0. A number of tine bodies in the second set of tines have an offset portion lateral cross-sectional aspect ratio that is less than 1.0.
