Hi David thanks for the compliment.Great minds think alike! Thats a sweet looking rake! Hows it work? Thats another idea i had, but i want to build a stone/landscape rake so tines are closer together and wider. Probably going to wait til equipment auction in spring and buy a tow behind to modify. I added the 2" hitch to top of hitch i built because small one was too low and by the time i put the adapter in it was a foot longer which was gonna put attachments to far off back of tractor putting more stress on hydro system.

Yeah John, the rake works great as a dethatcher. It also works well to dress my gravel driveway. I heard some say that it would kick stones forward towards the tractor and operator but I have not had any issues like that. Initially I had the tongue pinned to the receiver tube with a 5/8" pitch pin so it was very secure in the receiver. As a result of that and the fact that the rake is about 3' from the back of the tractor, when I got into some slightly irregular ground it was common for the rake to loose full contact with the ground. Once I switched out the hitch pin to a 1/2" bolt it allowed the rake tongue to move a bit more freely in the receiver tube. I will probably cut the tongue a bit shorter to help with this also.
Good luck.

I just added the 2 in receiver. It will be a little higher and bout a foot closer to rear for better lifting power. Started tiller build today its going to be 40" wide. I have 5.5 hp on it for now but if thats not enough i will get an 8 or maybe 10 20150811_170918.jpg Gonna start the frame work tomorrow. Gotta decide what to do with the handle. It has the control for forward direction and reverse. Would like to keep control in case a rock gets jammed or something

Had my first test run with my hitch and tiller.
20150813_122958.jpg Got some more work to do, but I got it lifting and lowering- finally! Took a bunch of fails before i got it just right! Gonna have to look around for at least an 8hp, or just dig real slow. Got more welding tomorrow. Tiller needs some body work! Add some weight so it doesn't bounce as much. But we're off to a good start! Let me know what ya guys think!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
