I need to dethatch a horse pasture (6 acres) and used a chain harrow in the past. The tines will fill up with grass / brush very quickly and it is really painful to clean them out.
Two questions.
1) has anyone made a homemade frame (3pt) for a chain harrow (8ft x 10 ft) that could be lifted via the 3 pt to clean? The harrow only weighs about 300lbs so the tractor can pick it up easily.
2) Any experience on making a FEL mounted de-thatcher? I'm thinking of using some hay rake springs mounted to metal angle iron. The angle iron would be held on with chanin and binders.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
