SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
All equipment is potentially hazardous. There is no substitute for a cautious, safe-minded operator who  
recognizes potential hazards and follows reasonable safety practices.  
Most accidents occur because of neglect or carelessness. Keep all helpers and bystanders fifty feet (50’) from  
an operating power unit and attached equipment. Only properly trained people should operate this machine.  
It is recommended the tractor be equipped with a Rollover Protection System (ROPS) and a seat belt that is  
used. Always stop the tractor, set brake, shut off the engine, remove the ignition key, and lower loader and  
attachment to the ground before dismounting. Never leave equipment unattended with the engine running.  
This equipment is dangerous to children and persons unfamiliar with its operation. The operator should be a  
responsible adult familiar with farm machinery and trained in this equipment’s operations. Do not allow per-  
sons to operate or assemble this unit until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough  
understanding of the safety precautions and of how it works.  
Only use a power unit equipped with a ROPS cab or rollover protective structure. Keep foldable ROPS sys-  
tems in “locked up” position at all times. Keep seat belt fastened.  
Always use two people to handle heavy, unwieldy components during assembly, installation, removal, or  
moving the implement.  
Never place any part of your body where it would be in danger if movement should occur during assembly,  
installation, operation, maintaining, repairing, removal, or moving the implement.  
Never place yourself between the tractor and implement while implement is in operation.  
Do not work under a raised implement unless it is securely blocked or held in position. Do not depend on the  
tractor hydraulic system to hold the implement in place.  
A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use extreme care during travel. Slow down on turns and  
watch out for bumps. The tractor may need front counter-weights to counter-balance the weight of the  
implement.  
Never use alcoholic beverages or drugs which can hinder alertness or coordination while operating this  
equipment. Consult your doctor about operating this machine while taking prescription medications.  
Do not allow others to ride on the tractor with an operator. Riders are subject to injury such as being struck by  
foreign objects or being thrown off. Riders obstruct the operator’s view resulting in unsafe operation. Never  
allow anyone to ride on the implement!  
Before you operate the implement, check over all pins, bolts and connections to be sure all are securely in  
place. Replace any damaged or worn parts immediately.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)  
Never allow children to operate or be around equipment.  
Use stabilizer bars, adjustable sway chains, or sway blocks on your tractor lift arms to keep the implement from  
swinging side to side. Adjust as tightly as practical for best performance.  
Keep alert and watch the front as well as the rear when working with the implement.  
When maneuvering close to buildings or passing through narrow areas, be sure to allow sufficient clearance  
for the implement.  
Do not operate close to ditches or creeks. Slow down when operating over rough ground.  
Always be sure the implement is in the fully raised position when in transport.  
When removing, changing the angle, or reversing the rake, be sure that your feet are never under the rake.  
Use extreme caution when backfilling deep holes or trenches.  
Be careful to avoid catching the rake on stumps or other immovable objects.  
Use care when working on slopes.  
Avoid excessive speed during operation.  
Make adjustments only when the implement is attached to the tractor.  
When using the rake in a reverse position, use extra care. Do not ram rake into piles of dirt. Tractor lift arms  
and the rake are not built to take high impact loads in this position. Ramming backwards can also dislodge  
operator from seat and/or tractor controls, resulting in possible serious injury or death.  
Always ease the tractor into the load. It may be necessary to reposition and take less “bite” on the material to  
move it safely.  
Operating spring steel rake tines may suddenly fling rocks and clods. Keep all bystanders 50 feet away and  
operator must wear safety glasses.  
Watch for and avoid hidden obstructions, i.e., buried pipes, rocks, concrete piers, uneven concrete slabs,  
stumps, etc., when operating.  
Stop power unit and equipment immediately upon striking an obstruction. Turn off engine, remove key, inspect,  
and repair any damage before resuming operation.  
Before leaving operator’s seat, lower lift arms and put attachment on the ground. Engage brake, stop engine,  
remove key, and remove seat belt.  
Never perform service or maintenance with engine running.

ASSEMBLY AND MOUNTING  
——————————————————  
Series rakes will fit these tractors if equipped with special  
Cat. 0 pullpins. The pins need to be installed to the inside  
of the 3 pt. frame.  
Preview the assembly instructions and the exploded  
view of the landscape rake in your operator’s manual and  
become familiar as to how the parts or assemblies go  
together.  
Select an area for assembly that is clean and free from  
debris.  
The two main subassemblies of the landscape rake are  
heavy and awkward to handle. It is recommended that  
you have one or two helpers to complete the assembly.  
Check the tractor’s 3 point hydraulic lift system. It should  
operate up and down smoothly and hold its position when  
set. Refer to your tractor owner’s manual or dealer for any  
adjustments necessary to put the 3 point hydraulic lift  
system in good working order. (I&T shop manuals will list  
most specifications and adjustment instructions –  
available from most farm equipment dealers.)  
Tractor should be equipped with stabilizer bars,  
adjustable sway chains, or sway blocks to keep the imple-  
ment from swinging side to side.  
1. On DCR and MCR models, assemble the “A” frame as  
shown in the exploded parts view (pg. 12 or pg. 13).  
2. It is suggested that you mount the main frame on the  
3 point hitch of your tractor before assembling the  
landscape rake as follows:  
Smaller size tractors may need front counter weights to  
counter-balance the weight of the implement.  
a. Lower the 3 point hitch on your tractor to facilitate  
mounting of the main frame of the rake to the  
tractor.  
b. Insert the lift arm pins on the main frame into the  
ball sockets in the lift arms of the tractor 3 point  
hitch. Pin in place with linchpins (not furnished).  
WARNING!  
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS  
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.  
Falling off power unit can result in death from being  
run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in  
“locked up” position at all times.  
NOTE: On DCR models – if your tractor has a Category  
0 3 point hitch (20” drawbar spacing), then the lift arm  
pins must be installed to the inside of the frame. If the  
tractor has a Category I 3 point hitch (26” drawbar  
spacing), then the pull pins must be installed on the  
outside of the frame.  
c. Attach the mast of the main frame to the tractor by  
installing the tractor center (or top) link with a top  
link pin (not furnished).  
CAUTION!  
Be sure your tractor and loader is in good condi-  
tion. Read all the safety precautions and make sure  
all equipment operators are familiar with the safety  
rules of operation.  
NOTE: Use stabilizer bars, adjustable sway chains, or  
sway blocks on your tractor lift arms to keep the land-  
scape rake from swinging side to side. An anti-sway  
device is a must if operating the landscape rake in a  
reverse (pushing) position.  
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this  
equipment. The operator must be properly trained.  
Operators should be familiar with the tractor and attach-  
ment, and all safety practices before starting operation.  
Read the safety rules and safety signs on pages 3-6.

RAKE TO TRACTOR  
——————————————————  
FOR MODEL LRHD RAKES  
ALL MODELS  
Place jack stands or suitable blocking under tinebar so  
center pivot bolt and 3 pt. mount can be installed.  
The landscape rake is compatible with Category 1, 3  
point tractors equipped with side swing-type lower lift  
arms and some Category 0 tractors.  
Place 3 pt. frame assembly on top of the tinebar and  
align 1 inch pivot hole with center hole on tine bar.  
1. To avoid interference with the landscape rake, adjust  
tractor drawbar to the shortest and highest position.  
Install 1 inch pivot bolt and flat washer. Tighten bolt so  
3 pt. mount will swing but without excessive looseness.  
2. Attach the tractor’s lower lift arms to the landscape  
rake and secure in place with lock pin.  
Place 3 pt. frame in desired position and install angle  
shift pin.  
Place parking stand in position to support landscape  
rake.  
For Category 0 Hitch application, order optional pull pin  
kit part #590331 (one pair); replace the Category 1 pins  
with the Category 0 pins. Make sure the Category 0 pins  
are on the inside.  
3. Tractor must be equipped with stabilizer bars,  
adjustable sway chains, or sway blocks to keep the  
implement from swinging side to side.  
4. Attach the tractor’s top link to the top of the landscape  
rake’s mast and secure with the top link pin and retain-  
ing pin supplied with the top link.  
IMPORTANT  
Make sure rake is at least 6” (15 cm) from tractor  
tires throughout complete range of 3 point hitch  
operation.  
GAUGE WHEEL INSTALLATION  
——————————————————  
Level the A-frame and tinebar with 3 point connecting  
links and top link. Adjusting the top link length will change  
the fore and aft pitch of the teeth.  
SINGLE WHEEL PACKAGE  
(DCR Models Only)  
Refer to the parts illustration and assemble the wheel  
package to the center of the rake frame weldment using  
(4) bolts, nuts and washers as shown. Grease the wheel  
upon initial assembly.  
Lengthening the top link will cause the teeth to contact  
the ground with a sharper pitch and be more aggressive.  
You may need to adjust the optional gauge wheels after  
adjusting pitch to maintain the desired working depth.  
DUAL WHEEL PACKAGE  
(Recommended for rakes above 6’ in width  
and all MCR and LRHD Series rakes)  
FOR MODEL LRHD RAKES ONLY  
Refer to the parts illustration and install the gauge  
wheel arms approximately one foot in from each end of  
the rake using longer carriage bolts provided. Grease the  
wheels upon initial assembly.  
For Category 1 Quick Hitch application, order optional  
bushing kit part #862500 (one pair); place bushing over  
draw pin and fasten with roll pin.

OPERATION  
LEVELING  
OPERATION  
——————————————————  
The rake should be straight across, i.e., 90° to the line  
of travel of the tractor, in other words 0° horizontal angle.  
There should be 0° vertical angle, i.e., the lift arms on  
the tractor 3 point hitch should be parallel to the ground.  
The use of gauge wheels will make the leveling opera-  
tion much easier and improve the quality of the job.  
When using the rake with gauge wheels, you may need  
to adjust the gauge wheels after adjusting pitch to  
maintain the desired working depth.  
The operator is responsible for the safe operation of this  
equipment. The operator must be properly trained.  
Operators should be familiar with the equipment, the  
tractor, and all safety practices before starting operation.  
Read the safety rules and safety decals on page 3  
through page 6.  
The landscape rake is designed for a wide range of  
applications: loosening, leveling, and clearing soil or  
debris.  
The rake may be angled to windrow material to the side  
for removal.  
REVERSE OPERATION  
Depending on the job, the angle grading or leveling  
position may be used. For heavy work, use a regular 3  
point rear blade.  
WARNING!  
Power unit must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS  
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fastened.  
Falling off power unit can result in death from being  
run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS systems in  
“locked up” position at all times.  
NOTE: Most rakes and blades are damaged in this  
position – use extra care – DO NOT RAM into obstruc-  
tions (including hard packed dirt piles)!  
WARNING!  
RAKING  
When using the rake in a reverse position, use extra  
care – DO NOT RAM RAKE into dirt or packed snow  
piles! Tractor lift arms and the rake are not built to  
take high impact loads in this position. RAMMING  
backwards can also dislodge operator from seat  
and/or tractor controls, resulting in possible serious  
injury.  
Vegetative trash and clods or rocks may be raked into  
piles or into windrows for easier pickup. DO NOT overload  
rake – remove large rocks, roots, or limbs by other  
means.  
INCORPORATING SEED  
Seed is best incorporated by making two passes in  
diagonal directions. Consult your seed supplier or refer-  
ence book for the recommended seed depth. Set the rake  
straight and operate the rake at two times the  
GRADING  
Adjust the 3 point hitch upper link so that the frame of  
the landscape rake is parallel with the ground. If gauge  
wheels are used, adjust them for the amount of cut you  
want to take, usually about 1”. Set the rake angle adjust-  
ment as desired – straight for grading or angled for a  
windrowing effect. It is recommended to operate the rake  
at a slow speed (max. 3 mph) to give ample time for fine  
material to flow through the tines.  
recommended seed depth. Grass seed, for example,  
1

should be covered approximately / ”. Operate the rake at  
1
2
/ ” penetration and make two passes in diagonal direc-  
tions. The use of gauge wheels will provide much better  
depth control and improve the quality of the job.  
ANGLE GRADING  
These suggestions are generalities; best results will be  
obtained after some experience.  
The rake should be angled horizontally only enough to  
allow the material to slide along it easily.The angle (tilt) of  
the rake must be set to suit conditions. This is controlled  
by the lift arm leveling assembly (turnbuckle) on the trac-  
tor 3 point hitch.  
NOTE: Do not load either end of the landscape rake  
heavily. Try to balance the load on both ends of the land-  
scape rake.

TRANSPORTING  
WARNING!  
——————————————————  
Pay particular close attention to the Safety Messages  
regarding transport. Avoid unnecessary injuries and  
equipment damage by exercising cautious, conscientious  
travel procedures.  
Attaching the landscape rake to the tractor increases  
the overall length of the working unit. Allow additional  
clearance for the landscape rake to swing when turning.  
Always place the rake straight across (90° to line of  
travel) for transport.  
NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never  
place any part of the body underneath equipment or  
between moveable parts even when the engine has  
been turned off. Hydraulic system leak down,  
hydraulic system failures, mechanical failures, or  
movement of control levers can cause equipment to  
drop or rotate unexpectedly and cause severe injury  
or death.  
Raise the landscape rake as high as possible for trans-  
porting.  
• Service work does not require going underneath.  
• Read Manual for service instructions or have  
service performed by a qualified dealer.  
MAINTENANCE  
——————————————————  
The information in this section is written for operators  
who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need help,  
your dealer has trained service technicians available. For  
your protection, read and follow the safety information in  
this manual.  
WARNING!  
Inspect the landscape rake for loose, damaged or worn  
parts and adjust or replace if needed.  
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to pre-  
vent rust.  
Keep all persons away from operator control area  
while performing adjustments, service, or mainte-  
nance.  
Check all bolts and nuts to be sure they are tight.  
Periodically grease the gauge wheel assemblies.  
Before dismounting power unit or performing any  
service or maintenance, follow these steps: disen-  
gage power to equipment, lower the 3 point hitch and  
all raised components to the ground, operate valve  
levers to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking  
brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten seat  
belt.  
REPLACING RAKE TEETH  
To service the landscape rake when attached to the  
tractor, it must be blocked up off the ground.  
1. Place two blocks under the tinebar. Lower the tinebar  
to rest securely on the blocks.  
2. Refer to parts drawing, pages 12, 13, and 14. Remove  
the nuts and bolts from damaged teeth. Loosen the  
other bolts holding the same tooth support plate.  
Remove the damaged teeth.  
STORAGE  
——————————————————  
• At the end of the working season or when the  
landscape rake will not be used for a long period, it is  
good practice to clean off any dirt that may have  
accumulated.  
3. Insert the new teeth and secure with the bolts and hex  
nuts previously removed.  
• Inspect the landscape rake for loose, damaged or  
worn parts and adjust or replace if needed.  
• Storage location should be level and solid to make

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
MOST ACCIDENTS OCCUR BECAUSE OF NEGLECT OR CARELESSNESS.  
AVOID NEEDLESS ACCIDENTS BY FOLLOWING ALL OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LISTED BELOW.  
Machinery should be operated only by those who are  
responsible and are authorized to do so.  
Reduce speed when transporting mounted implements  
to avoid bouncing and momentary loss of steering  
control.  
Stop the engine, lower all equipment, lock the brakes,  
and remove the ignition key before dismounting from the  
tractor.  
A heavy load can cause instability of the tractor. Use  
extreme care during road travel. Slow down on turns and  
watch out for bumps. Tractor may need front counter-  
weights to counter-balance the weight of the implement.  
Never stand between tractor and implement while tractor  
is being backed to hitch.  
Reduce speed on hillsides or curves so there is no
