I need a stick rake to clear up all the small gum branches around the paddocks before slashing them .
I have a good frame and tool bar for the Ferguson 35 that should be fine to mount some car leaf springs onto to act as rakes .
Can I weld the end of the springs directly onto the frame or should I anneal the ends and drill for bolts ? I was worried that if I did soften the ends then the springs would bend upwards when in use .
