BX23s rake attachment

[rogerwrob]

I am looking for a rake attachment for the end of the backhoe on my BX23s. Im not looking for 3 point hitch rake to pull behind but one to use like a claw at the end of the backhoe . I have found a couple but the dimensions for the pins are all over the place . These rakes are about 10 by 24 inch in size .Has anyone bought a rake for their Kubota that is working good for them? Thanks in advance , Roger

bxpanded.com makes backhoe attachments that'll fit; I've got a one-tooth claw from them (and a quick-attach) but I haven't ever seen a rake like thing for backhoe.

If you can find one you like, you could get a local welder to cut the ears off and set it up to match your backhoe.

Thanks. I have the BX expanded ripper and quick coupler all ready. i need a rake to help dig through a pile of mixed stone, branches. that may be a good option as far as order one on line and have the new ears welded on , thanks

It seems like there are not a lot of rakes for tractors like my Kubota . What I am finding is a search for Mini excavator rakes is a more productive way to go about finding them.

See if BExpanded can modify an appropriately sized rake from the mini ex world to fit the quick change setup if you buy it and send it to them.

If I buy on line I would just have the welding done locally.

That makes sense. If you already have the QuickOn setup, the local shop should be able to use that to adapt the rake of your choice.

I went on line to educate myself on this and found some good and some bad ideas for crazy machines lol. I am going to try and make a simple rake out of metal i have laying around. This is a pic of my first proto type. i will put tips on the ends if the unistrut to dig in a little.
