Landscape rake width

[KBinCT]

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.

7 footer for sure. :thumbsup:

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.

Nice, are the forks new too?

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.

That's the right width. Wider is always better on a landscape rake.

My M7040 is 81" wide at rear tires. 8' Everything Attachments rake...it is perfect size.

I think you made a good choice with the 7' rake. I have a 5' Frontier for my mower and a 7' Lienbach for my tractor that is got some age on it. I will replace it with an 8' rake for open areas, wider is better for raking imo. Just as long as you can fit through the trees if needed.
