Hi
I need a little help with a landscape rake, I have a 2210 and 72 inch frontier rake with gauge wheels, first off I have never used or had a rake so this is probably operator error, but I also not sure this is the right rake for this tractor. I am assuming the rake should sit level front to rear and rest on the wheels. The problem is that the lower pins are so high off the ground it doesn't sit level and then really digs in, if I adjust the top link to level it then I cannot lift the rake. I kinda get the feeling this rake is not for this tractor but I was told the 5 foot rake didn't have gauge wheels which I felt important from reading here. The dealer is very good to work with and will help fix the problem if I can figure out what it is. I was thinking of modifing the lower pins by adding a link that would hang down a few inches and reattaching the pins in a lower postion, I think this would work fine but then I would not be able to turn the rake around if I wanted. Anyone got any suggestions, is it me or the tractor or the rake.
thanks
Phil
