I need to pick the right attachment for my Kubota L3400. I have some pasture that I am cleaning up. It has been sitting for a few years and has quite a few dead trees, fallen limbs, etc. scattered out. I have made several large piles with my FEL to move the bigger logs, and it has worked well with that. I am finding that I have a lot of debris left in the field mostly made up of medium size limbs, sticks, brush, etc. The FEL is really too big to handle this stuff without getting off the tractor. What I have been doing is parking the tractor close enough and just loading everything into the bucket by hand.
I was looking at a landscape rake and I think that this might be what I need. The 2nd option would be a chain/drag harrows that I could pull behind the tractor and it would supposedly grab the debris, but how do you "unload" it when you reach the destination? I guess with the landscape rake I could drag the debris to the pile, raise up and then push it back with the FEL or turn the Landscape rake around? Would the landscape rake also be good to spread manure etc. around? I heard that chain harrows is good to bust up the manure the cows leave and spread it around and also good to smooth out rough pasture etc.
I have no extra hydraulics etc. so a brush grapple etc. is not an option.
