Rake 7 foot rake owners specs.

[spo307]

I am going to build a 7 foot landscape rake with a hydraulic swivel option,
I am going to get the tines from agri supply, and the wheels maybe scaffold swivel wheels.
what length is your 7 foot rake? 84" or longer
how many tines ?
how far is the beam that the tines are bolted to, from the 3 pt connections?

thanks I just decided to do this after seeing someones nice home built rake, and pricing a new medium duty with gauge wheels $1900.00

$1900 no pto shaft, no gera box,, NUTS

Thanks for the Help and I will post pictures once it it under way

my 7 foot rake has 42 one inch wide tines that span exactly 84inches and the bar that holds the tines is 86 inches wide. the rake pivot point is 36 inches from the 3 point hitch. I plan on making mine swivel hydraulicly in the future too.
