    I need a soil leveler for top dressing my lawn. Does anyone know anywhere online that sells them for a good price ? Most I've seen are 100 quid or so. That can't be right ?! :o

    Lutes are mainly specialised tools found in the sports industry and are fairly expensive.
    They normally have 2 sides, one for removing small rises and the other to work in dressings.
    You can get away with a landscapers rake and there are many to choose from and a fraction of the cost.

    Thats a shame. I watched some videos of guys using it on YouTube and it seems to make light work of rubbing in top dressing etc! I am not sure if I can justify spending over £100 on it....I would like one though!

    That's the problem, it costs me a fortune most years just to keep up with equipment and tools and anything commercial is priced up when it comes tools :(
    You might find one second hand or maybe twist an arm or two at a local golf club but the back of the rake will do the job.
    Better shoot off to work, season is slowly ending and I'm looking forward to the winter break.
