New rake

Ryansweatt2004 · Dec 7, 2016

Well it took selling two smaller landpride rakes and saving a little before I could finally order my new landpride LR3784 offset landscape rake. Took over a month for the dealer to get it in on their landpride shipment so I wouldn't have to pay for freight but it was well worth it. Definitely a heavy duty rake and I shouldn't have to worry about bending this one.

I really like the wheels on my ETA rake as they make any surface grooming easy.

I had an LR1584 before this so I wanted to keep with the 7ft width but the side shift abilities make it so I can stay out away from the low lying branches when doing brush clean up along the sides of our 1/2 mile road. The only thing I don't like about it is because of the hydraulic cylinder mounts, it can't be rotated 360 degrees like my only 15 series rake. I used to like turning my old rake around and using it to push brush into piles. Nothing I can't adapt to now though. I mainly need the rake for finish grading dirt and road surfaces more than anything else.

Can you remove the pin(bolt?) that attaches the hydraulic cylinder, or does it look like it just won't be able to turn around? I know the wheels might present a bit of a challenge. I've used one rotated 180 like you say to push brush, but haven't done that very much (it feels kind of weird as the tines spring all over the place).

It's just the mounting bracket that's in the way. The rake is setup to be upgraded with hydraulic swing and rotation if I ever get rear hydraulics installed on my tractor. The gauge wheels did have to be taken off to rotate 360 onnmy old rake as well.
