Rake Debris Rake / Best Value for BX Tractor?

connor77 · Dec 29, 2009

Could use some suggestions for a debris rake for my BX2660 tractor.

Primary use will include picking up rotted rounds and other misc junk that I can't pick up effectively with just my bucket. Will also use to pick up brush (whatever is too small and not worth splitting for firewood). Will be using it in the "woods" on hilly terrain (if that matters). I am not a welder and would prefer not to buy anything that requires any welding. Drilling holes/mounting bolts in my bucket I have less of an issue with. Clamp on would be my first choice if there were something available.

I've done the standard internet searching and have come up with limited results. I'm not interested in pallet forks as I wouldn't be picking up any pallets and these wouldn't be that useful anyway for picking up stuff in the woods.

Anyone buy anything pre-fab'd that they're happy with that didn't cost a fortune?

If you find something let me know. Other than adding a grapple to your FEL I know of nothing out there.

For debris pickup without a grapple the only thing I can think of is "Brush Forks". If you Google that you will come up with a bunch of links. Most will clamp onto a bucket.

Thanks Amigauser. Those brush forks for $300 seem to be the most reasonably priced forks that will likely do the job.

I have the ground works brush forks that are shown on the WIKI page above. Awesome attachment. I am amazed at what the tractor will pick up. Since you don't have a backhoe make sure you have alot of weight out back. I used it once with no backhoe and it was very tippy.
