Does any one have a supplier of tines suitable for a home made rake? Not sure that the likes of Spaldings do them yet.

You dont want Weaving ones, they keep breaking, we broke 9 one season so we swapped it for a Claydon and have not broken 1 in 3 years.
You want Canadian double coil type ones

I wouldn't be suprised to find out claydon tines are from the same foundry that make straw harrow tines for the canadian manufacturers like denglemann etc.

Most of the Canadian type tines used by UK manufactures are supplied by Industriehof
https://www.industriehof.com/main.php?lang=en but they have had a few "duff" batches which have been prone to breaking. The original Weaving tine was based on a "beefed up" Reekie tine similar to what was used on the back of a MF 30 drill. These were made in the UK and seemed to be fairly reliable. I understand the cost of the UK tines became to great so they were sourced elsewhere which is when they had problems with breakages, but I understand this has now been sorted..
We have another harrow (residue management implement) on the drawing board which uses a unique tine developed by us over the last couple of years and there is more to a tine than just bending a piece of round metal and heating it up a bit to harden it....We are lucky to have a company in the West midlands that knows all about making springs and hardening steel without making it brittle, but it comes at a cost...

While manufacturing quality is important, my experience of larger reekie style tines is on any implement is they have always broken before the wore out.

I put Tecmagri tines on my rake, they are like elongated triple K tines and they work really well. Reversible points if you have abrasive soil and have never had one break. Clamps come with them to bolt straight onto 50mm box frame, no need for fancy angle adjustment. I just vary aggressiveness by changing how much weight the linkage carries with the draft control.
Speak to Simon Clarke at Aitchison Sim-Tec, he will get them over from France.

I recommend using the Spaldings weeder tines , 7mm I think. But put them on backwards so that the "claw" trails rather than gathers. The main length of the tine want to be vertical the short length on the end trails out behind.
I use a Spaldings tined weeder with the tines on reverse way round for all my straw raking jobs and have to say it works very well. If you encounter a heap it holds for quite a few metres gradually letting it filter out. There are many rows of tines so it does a thorough job, particularly in OSR stubbles.
You can see Spaldings tined weeder vid on you tube. Also it's multi purpose, for grass harrowing, seeding etc. Though I never seem to get time for grass harrowing these days. Not sure whether it ever did any good either, but when the horsey people had money, it was a good earner!

No, nothing like that. They are at least twice as long, got them from Simon Clarke, Techmagri.

The double coil tines are available from those you asked about, I bought an extra rows worth today having had 3x12 pairs last year, probably 1200 acres no breaks, worn about 2" off them on sharp going. Paid a bit over £30 each today FYI.

I ended up using industriehof. Done two rakes with them now, never broken one. Bent them through mis use. Good firm to deal with. Alot less than£30 when I last had them.
