I have a 5 foot landscape rake 3ph sitting in the shed gathering dust, And my KX71 is looking at it real hard.

Have you ever seen a landscape rake on a excavator?

I'm thinking of rigging it up to scrape off hills and for clean up around the barn......any Ideas?

Its great to be back here, I have been gone for a bit I know.:drinkup

Great to hear your back Danny.
Sounds like another interesting Steel project.
I'll have to peek in more often.

I like your idea of wanting to use the mini ex. for other attachments like a landscape rake. I would think the important thing to remember when mounting it is a ''float'' way of mounting ,so there is a constant down pressure on the tines. I think that would make a great addition to your mini ex. My new Kubota kx121-3 has the floating angle blade. I use it in the float position so much when I am back dragging. It looks so good that some people even think I am a good operator.

Thats a good idea to make the rake float.......maybe a spring effect, and a way to adjust the tentsion.........wheres my torch!!!

Would you happen to have a picture of your floating blade??
