Buck-Rake (and Bucket)
Another Earth Tools-designed implement, as a result of popular demand! Buck-Rakes have been used for years on larger tractors in Europe (and some in this country) for gathering loose hay in a field. One United-Kingdom-based company (Tracmaster) produces them to fit walk-behind tractors…so we figured we could do it too, and we threw an extra twist into the design: Virtually INSTANT changeover from Buck-Rake to Scoop-Bucket, using the same frame assembly!
Scoop-Bucket attachment
Rake "canted" forward (Bucket does same)
Rake "canted" backward (Bucket does same)
If the mounting to the tractor uses a PTO quick-coupling, the “male” coupling can be oriented with either a “slot” or a “hole” for the locking-pin of the quick-coupling…this allows the rake/bucket to either have some rotational “float” OR be “rigid” with the body of the tractor.
Bucket "tripped" for dumping (rake does same)
Quick-change system with locking latches
We came up with a robust 3-point “quick-change” system with locking latches, which holds the bucket or buck-rake securely in place on the frame, and allows for easy changes in 30 to 60 seconds. All components of this system ship by motor-truck freight. Some assembly required.
