Front-Mounted ATV Rake

Front-Mounted ATV Rake “I mounted a straight tine rake in the receiver hitch on front of my ATV and use it for a lot of different jobs around my place ” says retired Iowa construction worker Les Curry The 4 1/2-ft wide straight tine rake was originally intended to pull behind a lawn mower but Curry says having it on front of his ATV makes it more versatile “The tines on the rake are 18 in long and real stiff so I can use it to rake up grass in the lawn shove sticks together after a storm even clean up apples ” says Curry He raises and lowers the rake with a single handle much like that used on an old hay dump rake Curry says he mounts the rake on his ATV as soon as he takes the snow blade off in the spring “I’ve used the rake to smooth out the big clumps of soil after I’ve plowed the garden I also use it along the side of our road to smooth out gravel on the shoulder so the snow plow doesn’t throw it in my ditch and on my lawn It’s just a real versatile tool to have around The tines can turn either direction so if one side starts wearing down I can turn them around ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Les Curry 2171 Highway 85 Deep River Iowa 52222 ph 641 595-2295
