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.
