OK, the cable doesn't really do much but keep the rake in the position you see in the photo. if it meets enough resistance it will rotate and it seems to do so easily. but I'm thinking if i replaced the cables with a fixed length rod of maybe some long turnbuckles or even a couple top links that would have a fixed, rigid length then the rake would be much more useful and it could be used to some light dragging and level work. I don't have a FEL on my tractor and at this point no box blade or scraper blade or land plane so none of the normal tools for grading/leveling work. I usually mount the RR on my bobcat bucket but like I said I was playing around to see what would happen if I could mount it on the back of the tractor.
So I did not think to get photos but I used the RR as you see it on my TC25 to clear the leaves off the road going to the back of the property. Surprisingly it worked pretty good going forward and reverse. It would be much better if it was rigid and I'm trying to think of what I have around that I could temporarily do just that to see how much it improved performance. Then if it does I will work out something morpermanentte.
So if this interests anyone else lets hear your thoughts and ideas on how to adapt the RR for use behind a tractor hanging off a 3 point hitch.
I have another couple photos on my phone i will upload.
