How important is it to be able to angle a rake and to be able to turn it around to be used as a push rake? If it is important, how much angle is needed? Background, I have an ag. system I have designed for ATV’s and have considered building one for small tractors. It is a carry behind system similar to a three point but the implement only hooks up with two points. One of the most important features of it is the system applies a forgiving down pressure on the implement. Forgiving means that if an obstacle is hit the implement will raise up over it then move back down. It also doesn’t lift the ATV when applying the down pressure, instead it transfers weight from the back axle to the front and the implement. Once the ATV starts moving forward the weight will transfer back which makes traction less of an issue. The system is patent pending and is an expansion of a system I built to make ATV snowplows more effective. So far I have attached S-tines, back blade and a box scraper to it. Next is a rake which will be followed by disks. The reason for the question is a local landscaper is interested in the system but needs a rake. I will be asking him this question also but I don’t want to design it only for one persons use. I want to design it for as many uses as practical. I have purchased a rake for ATV’s that another company offers. It is well built (meaning heavy) but I think it could be better designed. I am considering just cutting it apart and starting over so I would appreciate any input into what people like to see in rakes. Thanks in advance. I have attached a picture so everyone can get an idea of what I am talking about.

Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
