Bar Nuthin 2,202 #1 Posted 9 hours ago (edited) I decided to give one of these rakes a try to tackle the massive number of limbs and sticks that winter deposited on my property. I (temporarily) modified it to use with a slot hitch. Once I learned to slow down a little bit, the results were decent. I was worried it might destroy my turf, but it seems fine - actually does a little dethatching. Once I get everything windrowed near my large oaks, I'll hook up the Mighty Mac and make some mulch. Then breakout the Cyclone Rake for a vac job. Got about an acre to do. There are also a few limbs that will see a chainsaw and a fire pit.

ri702bill 11,346 #2 Posted 8 hours ago Is the axle on the chipper allowed to pivot? Most likely not. So to move it around you lift it like a snowblower?? Nice pair of Workin' Girls! Spring has not arrived here yet... soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice pair of Workin' Girls! Spring has not arrived here yet... soon. It started out as a "wheelbarrow" style chipper with a 7HP Briggs. I adapted it using a snowblower bracket. It is hydro lifted.

ebinmaine 77,507 #4 Posted 5 hours ago Wicked nice Bar! We are probably a month away from spring up here. Snow is still Knee Deep on most places of the property. Looking forward to getting our beasts out and putting them to work like you did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sqrlgtr 2,202 #6 Posted 2 hours ago (edited) @Bar Nuthin Been kicking around the idea of making a rake like this adapted to a dozer blade bracket to push leaves with. Is this a homemade rake or store bought? Edited 2 hours ago by sqrlgtr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm using a piece of bar stock and my slot hitch - instead of the 2" receiver it's designed for (3-point adapter) You can see it's still in testing stage by the vise-grips 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
