Default Tool bar for farm store de-thacher

I ditched the wheel and up-down lever and built a sleeve hitch type tool bar to mount the de-thatcher on. This way I can operate it from the drivers seat with out having to twist myself into a pretzel or dismount to raise the unit to cross drives, sidewalks or streets plus you can back into corners and tight spots you otherwise could not access with a tag along unit.

Works really slick with a hydraulic lift and two 45# weights centered on the deck
Be tween me and my neighbors we did about 75,000 square feet in a few hours with my 1450 and they followed up with their sweepers.

Will consider building these for sale if there is enough interest.
Sleeve hitch (which I can also build) and 3 point required.

Well howdy neighbor! You really got something there! Mounted equipment is the way to go! Would you be selling a complete unit or the mounting brkt?

Just the tool bar with the sleeve hitch, unless you need the sleeve hitch horseshoe, straps and hanger components also.
I also have a mounted aerator in the works.

That's my own junky old de-thatcher!!

Thanks!

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.
