Which One do you want to know about?
Here's a sneak peek at our heaviest duty rake yet.
The rake hasn't made it to the website yet, but we usually give you guys the first look at our new products.

The 84" rake shown is configured with a hydraulically adjustable, center mounted gauge wheel as well as hydraulic angle and offset functions.
It is Category 1-2 Quick Hitch compatible and features our floating style hitch for better results with the gauge wheel.

Questions and comments are welcome. What do you think?

Nice!!

I like the hydraulic angle. What is the thought for the having a cylinder on the gauge wheel and the thought of one wheel versus the two wheels?

This rake is going to a customer who has lots of hydraulics on his tractor, and more cylinders= less getting off of the tractor to make adjustments!

The single gauge wheel will give him the ability to tilt the rake(with his hydraulic side link) and utilize the gauge wheel at the same time, which wouldn't work with dual wheels.
One center mounted wheel will also be more maneuverable.

This has to be THE BEST land scape rake currently available. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Travis, how long before the hydraulic rear blade is out?

Kind words. Thank you!

The scrape blade is right around the corner. All we have to do is build one, which is the easy step! :thumbsup:

To add......


You will be able to configure the rake for your needs, so any of the hydraulic options shown in the photos will also be available as mechanical.

Nice piece of design work.

Am I correct in assuming that the dual cylinders for angle adjustment allow for the rake to be offset, as well as just angled ?

Thanks! It's definitely built for serious work.

I think the photos are playing with your mind a little.
One cylinder is connected to the back tine bar for angle.
One cylinder is connected to the front hitch for offset.
The top cylinder(obviously) is for gauge wheel adjustment.

Here's a clearer illustration showing all of the cylinders:

Add 'top n tilt' and that's 5 remotes! Jealous! And some serious coordination. :thumbsup:

Looks very well built and extremely heavy duty. Are the tines easy to remove and replace? I'd remove every other one of them with the thought that the spacing is going to pick up too much dirt. In my experience with my rake, it fills up with branches and sticks so quickly when I use it that the less dirt I get, the better.

Our unique tine bar design is simple, yet very durable. The laser cut holes keep the tines aligned perfectly and the bend in it lets the tines move and work extremely well.

Each tine goes through a hole and is held in place by a single carriage bolt. All EA rakes feature the same tine bar design.

That looks stronger then mine. I have two bolts and the tines always break at the bolts. Holding them in place with your method would take a lot of the stress off of the tines at those bolt holes, where they are the weakest.

Travis, tell Ted he needs to add another cylinder to raise every other tine! :laughing:

Dang, I just got my rake and now it's inferior:(

It d@mn sure holds it's own though! Same tines and tine bar design.
There just aren't as many bells and whistles offered for it.

Very impressive build! That's Kioti orange, right?!
Price point, with/without hydraulic cylinders, please....
