SA Landscape Rake

A

Has anyone mounted a landscape rake on a SA? The kind I am thinking of is wider than the tractor with tines that are about 3/4" wide that are used by landscapers when cleaning up new lawns for seeding. I want to use it for ranch road maintenance.

The best mounting location would be between the front and rear wheels, although I can't figure out a good way to spread the drag load if front mounted. A rear mount would be easier as it can be bolted to the drawbar with a hinged connection and lifted with the rear arms. Has anone mounted one to the cultivator arms?

Pictures showing mounting details would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help.
 
I am sure it can be done. I'd use a tractor with a 3-point so you can swivel it on angles or swing it around 180 to feather. Mounting it mid-mount will limit your usefulness of the intended design of the rake.

Doug: I've never used a landscape rake, however I think you'd have problems with lift clearence. I do know what a landscape rake looks like. I use S tines on my center mount cultivators, and I've had to fabricate some unusual looking devices to come up with ground clearence when raised for those.
 
If your SA has some sort of rear lift (I am igonrant on smaller IH tractors, but know a little) fabricate a mount that accepts a 3 point attachment.

Another thing you can do is to fabricate a pull trailer that has a 3 point type lift assembly hooked to an electric linear actuator. This can be ran from the SA 12VDC and hooked to a 3 position momentary ON-OFF-ON switch. This switch will be like your lift control on a tractor with 3 point.

I have see the trailer type used behind trucks and 4 wheelers to use small 3 point attachments like disks, blades, and the such. I am sure if you are good at using GOOGLE, you can find pictures of these.

This is a spring-toothed harrow on my Super A. Although it's not a landscape rake, it worked very well for disposing of half an acre of blackberry bushes last month.

A landscape rake is not for a road its for loose soil. You would be better with a blade that has guide wheels mounted to the rear of the blade as it will do a much better job of leveling and maintaining a road surface. A center mount blade is not a good choice for moving a hard packed roadway.
 
I run a woods LR-6 behind my SA. I fabricated a 3 point hitch for the tractor with plans from Hugh MacKay. The tractor handles it no problem, but I wish I had the wheel kit for the rake.

You have a Cub 3-Field Cultivator. I have two of them. I had to buy the second one to get enough parts to make a complete one. Fixing to have mine sand blasted and painted.

My Uncle had it and I guess used it with our 140 for something.

Yours looks like an older model. On later ones the helper sring was longer.
 
SuperA-Tx, that makes sense. It was one of the five implements that came with my cub. Do you know where I can find replacement tynes? A couple of mine are broken.
 

The standard U-shaped drawbar on a Super A is hinged to pivot up and down for two reasons:

1. To provide an adjustable-height drawbar.
2. To provide depth control for the A-193 plow.

But, you can use that feature creatively...

By bolting the crossbar of the York rake (what we call landscape rakes around these parts) to the drawbar, running chains up to the lift arms to raise and lower, and removing the locking pins/bolts to allow the drawbar to pivot, you've created yourself a makeshift "3 point" hitch that'll work for this purpose.
 
I sure do. I have two or three old style like yours. I'll check tonight when I get home and see just what I have. Shoot me an email and I'll let you know.
