Rake A brush rake for Skidsteer?

The rake can be reversed on most landscape rakes. Not sure how it would behave being pushed with a load. Maybe that's the answer 3ph adapter and then push the rake. You can even push it tilted to the side like a 6-way blade on a dozer to windrow the stuff.

Maybe just add a finer tooth rake to your grapple for the final going over.

The landscape rake that I have with a PowerTrac QA plate on it can be reversed -- but only if you use it without guide wheels. You just remove the pin, swing it around like you do a rear blade, and put the pin back in...

But, pushing it without guide wheels is very difficult to use, because you're constantly having to adjust the lift to keep to keep it on the ground, without digging in...

Perhaps you could modify the mounts for the guide wheels and make one that could be easily rotated... IMO, you'd still want to put a reinforcing bar accross the tines somewhere, though, to keep from bending the tines if you're going to be raking up brush with it.
