Harley power rake

Found a older used Harley rake on Craigslist and got it today ;-)

Good for you, I would have to saw off an arm to buy one used around here if I could even find one

There have been a few for sale around here on Craigslist but most are $4-$5000. This guy was asking $2500 and totally rebuilt the rake, all new bearings, gears, bushings, Etc along with a repaint. He used it on a Kubota L3400 for only personal use after the rebuild. He sold the tractor last year so he was selling off the attachments. It is the older model rake with the wear bars instead of the newer ones that have the carbide spikes but for my use that should be fine.

I ended up trading him my Stoll 4in1 bucket that I rarely used since I have a dedicated grapple and larger buckets. It was a great deal for me as the 4in1 was around $1200 or so including delivery last year. He now has a skid steer so the 4in1 should work well for him to. Great trade all and all for both of us.

Ya that's a smoking deal. How wide is your rake? I could have used one a week ago but they are like a unicorn around here, everyone has rakes on skid steers you can't even find 3 point models to rent

It is a 60" wide model but it is offset so should work fine for me. The pictures are from the Craigslist ad of his L3400. I have not mounted it on my tractor yet as I just made the swap last night

Great barter even tho the Harley is the old style with the fluted roll.

I picked up an older Landpride version last year similar to yours with the rails. Not really impressed with it. The newer style with the "nubs" work so much better
