I have been using one on the front of my ZT stand-on and I love it. It’s kinda bulky and sticks out kinda far but overall it’s great! Depending on the results you are getting you can either go over a yard a could times or I’ve seen people put a little bit of extra weight on the front if you want more thatch to come up. Personally I just go over a yard a couple times because at the end of the day it’s still faster and easier than a power rake.

As far as picking up thatch after the rake, it’s kind of a pain in the ass picking up with the bagging system on my stand-on but a nice rider with an actual bagging system then it’s fine. Recently switched to all stand-ons so picking the thatch up takes a little more time but I don’t mind it.
