Rake Power rake question

[Derailed]

Hi all, Im looking at a 6 ft rake. Its a Woods TPR7200 model near me that looks to be in good shape. Is a 19 hp B8200 to small of a tractor to operate this. 4 ft models are impossible to find.

Go to Woods web site and see what their hp recomendation is for a 6' rake. I would guess 19hp isn't enough.

Click on the "Specs" tab... It recommends 22-40 hp tractor... you might be able to do it if you are not too aggressive with it. Can you get it for a good price?

Minimum 40 hp if you want to get anything done. If you subtract the power it takes to run the tractor there is not much left for the implement. Get a larger tractor !

Thanks for the replies everyone. I also found a 5 ft. but I may just hold off all together as ive been thinking of selling it for a skidsteer.
