I have not tried the Buckeye but have seen many Rainflo 2550 at work
and rented one. From the pictures on the Buckeye website, I would
think the Rainflo is a better machine because of its moldboards
bringing the soil to the shaping pan instead of the "shields" of the
buckeye. It is really important to be able to bring as much soil as
possible to have a firm bed and I feel the Rainflo might do a better
job.
