As we have several miles of woods trails,there is the need for some means with which to groom them of twigs,leaves,etc. So,I purchased the required tines and the rest of the attachment is the usual steel materials. I employed a spare inexpensive 12v winch for the raise/lower feature. Total weight is 145lb,so it's easy to move/position. The rake head will pivot vertically with the removal of a pin when working over undulating terrain. So far,it's been a great accessory;I've gotten at least 40-45 hours use time on it to date. (There are commercial rakes for ATV/UTV's,however the tines are much smaller and weaker than regular tractor class tines.)
