Need a rake attachment on the 3 point that won’t dig into the ground. About 1 to 2 inches above the hard ground. Been reading on a bagger system for my 1880 but read they are junk. Is there a rake attachment? Thanks.

there are almost limitless makers of landscape rakes out there. Addition of a wheel kit or skid shoe kit and it will stay above digging in like you want.

I found this but no way I’ll pay $1500 for it. But this looks like it will work.

If you’re looking for a leaf rake/pine straw rake like this, they’re quite a bit lighter duty than a landscape rake. Won’t get every leaf, so if you’re looking for HOA Yard of The Month perfection, this ain’t it. If you want to remove the vast majority such that mulching the leftovers is realistic, might be an option.

Mine is from Titan Attachments and is admittedly the cheapest piece of Chineseum we have. I use it maybe 4 hours a year, but when I need it, I need it. So I kind of figure if it lasts 100 hours, that’s 25 years. 🤷‍♂️

Someone sells something for anything you can imagine if you have money to spend.

I have a landscape rake and recently tried to use it to rake up cut grass in my field before tilling. It did a very poor job on raking up the grass. Like Fordtech suggested, I felt like a pine needle rake would have done a better job, but don't know for sure. I just wouldn't recommend a landscape rake for cut grass.

Get a towable sweeper if trying to get grass clipping and chopped leaves

edit: we use one similar to this for collecting grass and leaves for compost


Use zero turn to mow but pull this with garden tractor. Added a cheap atv winch for power dump 😂 (my kids usually pull it and they couldn’t dump it when full of grass) I do need to reinforce the top bar on it though where the winch cable is hooked

I like that. $429 from Titan. May go with this. Don’t need perfection but clear up most. Thanks for the tip.
