Has anyone added a hydraulic cylinder to either a blade or landscape rake, on the side to make it swivel left and right? Would this work OK? Maybe there is a commercial item already available. I am talking about the swivel direction that would direct dirt left or right, not a TNT. BTW, I do not see the use in turning the rake all the way around backwards, and I do not use this much range. Just the usual about 30 degrees each way is enough. After using the rake again last night for several hours, it is obvious I do not need the top link cylinder, it can remain fixed, but I would like to have the rake swivel side to side. I bet I jumped off and manually adjusted it 25 times in two hours, even with good planning.
I would appreciate a photo or link pointer to an existing product, for ideas. Thanks!
