clearing horse arena

runningbird · Oct 23, 2005

Hi
I'm new to the tractor world and wondering if there is some kind of attachment that can help me...we have an 1.5 acre horse area than needs to be cleared. I have pulled most of the bushes(creisote) and am looking for a way to get rid of the broken sticks and rocks. we live in AZ and our ground is very soft/sandy but filled with rocks and broken branches.
thanks for any help.

A 3pt rake would do it like this one. Landscape Rake

A landscape rake is just about a must at some point for a horse arena but if you have larger rocks that need to be delt with you may want to look into a rock bucket.

OK thanks for the help, it seems like the rake may be the ticket...I'll be looking for a used one..we do have some larger rocks or pieces of cement but I'll just pick those up..
again thanks

Not sure where Gesla is but I am near Tombstone Gleeson. Here is what I use i made it from junk laying around. It actually works very well.

Here is my areena after dragging with said junk. It is natural dirt no top fill of any kind has been added.

hey Jim
thanks for the help...Gisela is just south of payson..I also have a place in ****(phoenix)..and this is where I am currently working the ground. our spot had never been cleared before and alot of junk was thrown in. I've got the ground broke up pretty good. Now I'm trying to get rocks and sticks out. our ground looks pretty similar to yours..I had been using something similar to what you have before I bought my tractor. anyway thanks for the help....mark
