Priced 3 Point Landscape Rake

My horses waist lots of hay over the winter which is turned into sopped manure. The bucket of blade does not work as well as I would like. I have been thinking a landscape rake would work with half the tines removed. I need a 5 foot wide to clear the rear tires. Prices seemed a bit much to remove tines for a try and have no other use for it.
I picked up a 7/16 thick 4" wide angle iron 5 foot long for 30 bucks and 16 tines at 4 bucks each. Still have to pick up the bolts. I will drop the blade off my three point frame and will be able to switch back and fourth from blade to rake. I drilled the 32 holes with my magnetic drill yesterday after noon. I'll have to wait until I have a mill clear to bore a 4" hole to weld the pivot pipe. I hope I can have it done some time next week.

I use a three point landscape rake to clean up hay waste and my wife composts it for the garden. I use it with all the teeth in and it works very well. If I have a lot to clean up I use the rock bucket on our NH TD95D to pick it up. Otherwise I pitchfork it into the pick up.
 
Friend used my 6 ft rake to level out his horse poo. Said it worked great.

I attached the rake to the front bucket of my Terramite. Worhs even better than 3 pt, because I can apply down force.
 

I never had any use for a landscape rake till I had a few acres cleared with a excavator... I borrowed a elchapo rake and bent the POS angle iron frame rite off the bat... I put a pipe wrench on it and bent it back EZ loaded it up and took it back to the owner...

I then got lucky and stumbled across the real deal a York rake just like in this video.

If I were to build one I would build the tool bar that holds the tines like a York rake... I spent part of this week end making two teeth for the Scarifier out of 1" flat bar on a drill mill... I found out fast the gauge wheels are nice to have... :wink:
 
A total different use than I will ever do with this. It looks like a nice unit. Probly cost more that the hundred bucks I'll have in this.
I am not building a landscape rake for raking dirt and stones. I am building a wet/dry straw with manure rake to pull it out of my shelters and around feeders in small enough piles that I can get into the loader bucket. Now I get the bucket full and lift, it gets pulled out of the bucket with the gob that hangs fast.
 
good thing you added this... some people here were firing up their rock pickers.
 
That is a good idea! I just might make brackets so it will attach to the bucket or in place of it. I'll see how it works out.
 
Another benefit is you can easily see what you are doing. I can clean up sticks and small logs when I have a tree cut down.

I like it better than on the 3 pt.
 
I made one from scrap angle iron and car leaf springs .

I used the existing hole in the centre of each spring to mount them to the frame . There was no way I could drill the spring steel with the equipment I have . I used many more springs this way but they only cost a few dollars a set from the wrecking yard .
Mounted to an existing three point tool bar the rake/scarifier works really well . I have used it to spread gravel , rake over newly graded dirt tracks to even them out and to rake up sticks before cutting grass .
Total cost was less than $50Aus.
