I believe I previously mentioned using a largish lawn tractor, but that was
a different thread, and possibly a different list, so no reason you should
have remebered it.

Further, often enough to not need raking means more than once a week when
we aren't in a draught bad enough to turn the grass brown.

But, rakings now so bad now since this winter we scored a raking 
attachement for the old cub cadet.

But, I never got complaints from the parents for doing that, except for when
the grass was truly exceptionally long.  I just cleaned the pile up, then
mowed back over the spot it been and rake that also.
