The link worked during a test last night.

I tried several of the University of Vermont links to their video archives this morning. None of the links are currently working. Will try again later.

Edit: Another link to the subject. PS this one also worked in the sand box.

Down, right side of screen, click on "buck raking, wind stacker, etc." to load up the video.

As far as we know, this is the only "mounted" hay rake for a cub. They are capable of pulling side delivery and pull behind dump rakes.


Thanks for posting this Dale. Do you have any shots of how it hooks up. I was helping a friend clean out his uncle's barn and have the piece in your 3rd photo (only painted red) but never new what it was for. I didn't what to see it go to the scrap man so it's in my barn now. I didn't see the rest of the rake there but the scrap man had been there several times before me pulling combines,corn picker and other rusty old implements out of the hedgerow.

Thanks, I'm thinking of using/ modifying a grader or snow blade with that rake. Then can use the factory lift and mounts to use... Only question I have is how much can the factory hydraulics lift handle ??? They said those had 4-700 lbs on the rake.
