Brett,
GlenMac makes the HarleyRake. A search for either name will get you to their website. The folks there are pleasant to talk to. They tell me their T5 model (5ft) is the one for my 19PTOhp tractor. They don't recommend the T6 at all for a tractor as small as mine. At least there is one sized to fit small tractors! I believe 25PTOhp is minimum recommeded for the T6. The recommended hp ranges for their rakes can be found at their website.

Great pictures! We moved into our new house at the beginning of spring, but since I built the house and did alot of the work myself doing the yard was low on the list (because I still had trim to hang!). I was going to wait until fall and till a good bit of my yard, but after seeing this harley rake I may try it. Does it work good in grassy areas, and what about ruts in the yard, will it smooth them out? I have some areas that are so rough that I can hardly drive over them because of the ruts left by some of the big trucks that have been through. Also, how fast can you run the rake? Questions, questions, questions!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

A little too late with my advice but I'll share it anyway.
I have a T-8 Harley rake.
I find that the rake works best in moist (damp) soil conditions. To dry and its like a dust storm. If it s too wet I set the barrier (the part above the roller) to its widest gap. This will not filter out the rocks properly but it will dry out the soil fairly quickly. Then make another pass with the barrier at the setting you desire for filtering the debris. I've used mine in mud before but it was just for leveling.
Nice pictures...
