If I didn’t have a MIG and bar bender and a day and a half while in ISO, $400 for a commercial one would have been reasonable value. Certainly not satisfying though.
The latch idea in the one on Gumtree and another similar one is neat. I just used a chain that slips up the handle to keep the rake up. The other feature of mine is that it will fold back on itself completely. This makes it easier to store.
Can’t see it in the pics but I made the hitch able to rotate. Keeps the wheels on the ground over bumps.
Glad it’s given you some ideas.
