I sold my other rake I had built before, so I built a new rake.This rake is 36" wide and built out of 3/4" t-1 and 5/8" t-1 so it is petty heavy built.
Here are the pics.I did all the work but the cutting out the steel.

Did you make the side plates for the rake where it fits in the quick coupler?
What do you use the rake for the most clean up before you mow?Do you use it for your rock and block setting? Nice job thanks for sharing:usflag:

A brush rake is designed for raking brush. You can pile up loose brush without getting dirt mixed in it.
The brush rake looks good minimax :drinkup:
You must have bought the lugging or did you make that too ?

I did make the lugging,I made a wood pattern.I use my rakes for clean up after I mow if the customer wants it parked out.And for raking before I harley rake.

Very nice job, almost looks like a mini version of the big rakes, it's just missing the kickers on the rear.

I thought about rear kickers but I would of had to buy $200 more t-1 steel to put rear kickers on it.

Hhhmm...how much in the end would it cost you to make one for someone? Just curious. I was quoted $2,200 I think by Kubota for one. They weld their own up.
Didn't know you were so crafty.

coopers,I have about $850 tops in my rake.That rake you put on here looks a lot like mine but the brush rake tip's are to long for the thumb.My rakes match the tip radius of the thumb.Here is a pic of that.

Minimax, not bad....yeah I have already decided I'll be getting an HPF thumb if I get a mini. And if you want to make xtra money I'd pay ya to build me a rake. The thumb on that kubota was laughable. :)
