I have a Kubota L3901 and a 1954 Ford NAA and am looking to purchase a landscape rake. What width should I go with, 5, 6 or 7 foot? It'll probably be used more on the Kubota than the Ford, Thanks.

I have a 6' rake on the back of my 2320 (24HP) and it's perfect for just about everything I've used it for. Unlike a oxblood or rear bad, it's tough to "fill it up" beyond a tractor's capacity to use it. My ONLY contrarian thought is that a 4 or 5' one might work better in the woods that I'm trying to clean up right now, but from an open-area usability perspective, I could have gone with bigger and been fine. I probably use my rake as much or more than any of my other implements for general clean up, smoothing gravel, and even plowing snow in a pinch. It's a highly usable and very versatile implement.

Your tractor could handle a 7' rake without a problem.

Rake set at 45 degrees should cover rear tires thread and little more.

A 6' or 7' would work.

Just a update on my landscape rake search. I ended up buying a 7' rake from Everything Attachments and received it yesterday. Here it is hanging on my Ford NAA. Thanks for the help.

Yeah got the forks from EA about a month or so ago. They made it super easy to remove the rake off the back of my pickup. :)
