Rake Question on rental of skidsteer Harley Rake

Larry_Van_Horn · Apr 12, 2004

Folks,
I want to rent a Harley Rake and the only kind I can find locally is for a skidsteer. My TC40D has skidsteer quick tach plates and also is plumbed for a third valve (4n1 bucket and grapple). My question is whether my tractor would have sufficient GPM to run the thing or not. Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Larry

Look at www.glenmac.com/skiddesign.htm
There's gpm and weight ratings there.

The 4' one okay. The 6' one- not really. the 8' one no way. I have 16.9 gpm and large hoses going to the front of my TN and many skidsteer type atachments require more. sometimes much more. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Too bad you can't find the 3pt harley to rent. The extra weight out on your FEL arms would be quite a bit, IMO.

Maybe rent the skidsteer to go along with the harley for this job. ?

Dealers in Southeastern Michigan rent 3PH Land Pride and Woods Power Rakes.
I plan on renting a 6' 3PH Land Pride from a dealer near me.
Have you checked a dealer for these models?

Ron,
I first went the route of checking the taylor and united rental places. I then said what the heck and called my dealer. They only rent one implement and that is a 3pt Harley rake for $175 day. Guess I found what I needed.
Thanks,
