TonyToro Jr. 2,179 #1 Posted November 26 Good evening. I got a cyclone rake this past weekend. It needed an impeller so ordered that and came in today. Other than that it runs good. It has all the tubes and mounting things but no hitch. I’m not looking to mount it on the deck but simply mount it correctly in the back so it pivots how it is supposed too. If anyone could post pictures of have the hitch I need that would be great! I’ll post some pictures tomorrow. Have a good night. Mods- if I didn’t put it in the right section feel free to move it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bar Nuthin 1,808 #3 Posted November 26 This one serves double duty as a dual pin hitch for my Cyclone Rake and as a receiver hitch. I just replaced the top plates on my plow bracket. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 7,456 #5 Posted November 26 Looking at the price of thoes Cyclone parts. I would build a receiver hitch for the tractor then build an adapter to the cyclone rake. That solid attachment to the tractor would not work on my lawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last leaf vacuum I had needed to pivot up and down because my yard had too many uneven spots. I had to make a hitch with horizontal pins on each side so it was rigid right and left, but could flex up and down. I guess if you have a flat yard it'll be ok. If you have any hills at all you'll need to add up/ down flexibility. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyToro Jr. 2,179 #7 Posted November 30 Sorry didn’t post for the last few days. Wednesday got the impelled mounted and all out together. Luckily it all came apart. On Friday we took a trip to West Haven CT to the cyclone rake factory and picked up the impeller and bag tube I was missing. Today we brought it in and we’re looking and decided to use the original mounted bracket for some other machine the PO had it mounted to. We welded that on to my additional hitch I had on my tractor and we are in business. Tomorrow give it a quick carb clean since it was leaking before when we had it running and suck up the leaves before the snow! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 19,248 #9 Posted December 1 You are proabably going to slap a few trees and/or fence posts.... I did okay as I have been using a 3pt finish mower on a big tractor for several years...but I whacked a few things with that learning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TonyToro Jr. 2,179 #10 Posted December 3 Had the first test run with the cyclone rake yesterday. Fired right up and worked way better than I was expecting. Used for about 14 minutes and barely filled up half the bag. Came out this morning since I thought I was good with the carb not leaking but nope. It leaked out all the fuel. So a carb kit will be next on the list. And maybe hooking it up to the deck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
