skid steer plate to three point hitch?

   / skid steer plate to three point hitch? #11  
I've got the Titan adapter plate you mentioned and I have used it with my Brillion landscape rake. I spin the rake around (which is what I assume you will do) to drive forward while raking. I've had a few tines snap on mine using it this way. The rake is heavy duty but 30 plus years old and does not have gauge wheels. The loader, even on float is pretty heavy and when the tines have broken they fly backward with pretty scary force. Gauge wheels would probably do the trick but if you don't have them be careful. Nice build by the way.

as long as your welding might as well put a receiver tube on it as well for moving trailers and what not..

Good to know about tines breaking... do you mean backwards as in towards the tractor if you are driving forward?
I used mine yesterday. I raked backwards. Works pretty nice!

My 3pt trailer mover is the 2nd most used implement on my SSQA to 3pt adapter after my snow plow. Definitely add a 2" receiver if you can. Sooooo much easier to "back up" a trailer looking forward at it driving forward. Not to mention not having to mess with jacks to hitch up & level.

Yes I turned the rake completely around in order to drive forward and rake. If you are backing around to rake the tines would spring away from you if they snapped.
