Front mounted two and three wheel rakes where very popular when I was a kid. Farmers used to swath grain before herbicide was in wide use, and any green stuff in the grain field would dry , and go through the combine, and the scour clean took out the weed seeds. But if if rain while your grain swaths were drying down, it was hard to get the swath dry enough to combine. So fellas got these windrow turners. I remember seeing them mounted on the front of old tractors like a 33 Massey Harris, or a IH W4 , some old tractor that didn’t have hydraulic. They had a couple different positions you could put it down manually when you got to the field, do your work, then get off and lock it up to drive home. I have been on the hunt for a front mounted wheel rake for a few years, with no luck yet. Think they all must have gone to the scrap yard.
