    Mini digger land rake

    Hi All
    I have just finished my latest attachment for my mini digger. I have a large area that needs clearing. So decided to build my own land rake from scratch, as the price of materials was considerably cheaper than buying a commercial built land rake. When purchasing the material I also had enough spare to build a ripper claw along side some other materials I already had in the workshop. Will post claw on HMT when completed.
    The photos show the build with the hitch items being cut using water jet process, via a couple of friends who have access to this technology.
    The material cost including paint and welding rods was under £200.00
