Rake Mounted On Front Of Mower
 ✖  |
Our 7-year-old grandson came up with this labor-saving idea for raking sticks in the yard. We have a fairly large yard with cottonwood trees scattered throughout. Every year before mowing season, I have to rake up all the sticks that fell during the winter. It usually takes about 6 hrs. I complained to my grandson, Oliver Case, about the task and he said, “Grandpa, why don’t you mount a rake on front of your mower?” So, we modified a bar to fit on the mower that already had hay rake tines on it. We added a stop to prevent the tines from digging too deep into the ground. Now we can clean up the whole yard in less than one hour. It takes less than 5 min. to mount the rake. A side benefit is that it dethatches the yard while raking up sticks. (James Case, Delaware, Ohio)
