I am thinking of buying some steel to make my own pull behind York rake, to link up to a garden tractor. Not the three pt. hitch type. Anybody in Ytmag world make one of their own, any comments and/or pictures would be nice. thanks.

I made an 8' spike harrow using 4x6's and railroad spikes. I spaced the spikes 6" apart and staggered the second row. I used a 2x6 lag screwed on the ends to connect the first and second timbers, and a few more on top to keep it from racking and to hold weight. I use a chain to drag it but I would like to get some steel to make it a 3 pt. implement.

I've seen it done a lot. Only a poor imagination can hold you back. A torch, cut off saw, welder and other tools and there isn't athing you can't build. Check out the pull behind blade or landscape rake in the Northern catalog. You can use a 12 volt linear actutor in place of a hyd. cylinder. Thats what garden tractors use on their baby hitches.

I was thinking of using a pivot lever arm to move the rake up and down, I need to draw it up and then buy the steel and make it.

May use a salvaged lever off of an older piece of machinery (pre-hydraulics). I am thinking of making something to pull behind my 4X4 ATV. I have a stright pull 6' drag I made out of used grader blades but I can't dump it when it gets full or balled up. There are a lot of implements available for Garden tractors or ATV's but they are pretty expensive.
