Rake What size for landscape rake

[jester7891]

I have a 24 HP Kubota B7610 that I am building an orchard with. I need to buy a landscape rake (AKA york rake I believe) to clean up the area. What's the largest I can go (5ft, 6ft, 7ft etc) that will drag all the dead branches, brier bushes etc with? Thanks, Jester

I think the B7610 would handle any of them. The limiting factor would be going through gates and in between trees and other obstacles. This is what I would take into consideration for width.

If you're just dragging dead limbs and light brush, then 24hp should handle the 6ft rake just fine, especially if your tractor is 4x4. The thing with going to 7ft is that the implement weight begins to add up considerably because it is designed to be pulled by more powerful tractors, so it's made heavier duty. Maybe you can rent a 7ft rake from a rent all shop to see how it handles a 7ft?

I think 6 ft is just about perfect for a B7610
