I just received a Rockaway landscaping rake which works with my Kubota L3010. This rake was originaly designed for skid steers, but now can be operated with a compact tractor. You need a remote hydralic valve with the lines ending about 2-3 feet from the bucket. Drill a 1 1/4" hole on each side of you bucket and this attachment hooks up in less than a minute. The Rockaway has 4" bar with carbite teeth which rotates and throws the rocks into your bucket and allows the topsoil to fly out through the screened frame. It will eat off the high spots to fill in the low. Using this machine only requires a quarter of the time that you would spent using a blade, conventional rake and the time spent hand raking and shoveling rocks and roots. I have done quite a few yards already and was very pleased wit every one. Rockaway is really something to see.

Who makes Rockaway? How much does it cost? Will it work on my JD 750 compact tractor? Where can I buy one? Thanks ....

I am actually using the first Rockaway that was designed for a compact tractor. Myself as well as the manufacturer were pleased with its performance. These machines cost about $4000.00. I am using mine on a Kubota L3010/LA 481 loader with a hydro transmission if you can compare with your JD. You need a tractor that can reverse at very slow speeds. The hydro transmission is ideal because of the steady RPMs to maintain a steady Rockaway speed while at the same time you are able to vary the speed of the tractor. I sent you an e-mail, check it out. Let me know if you are interested and if your tractor will accomodate this machine.
