HEY FARMERWANNABE, USE THE BOX SCRAPPER. ITS SAFFER THAN RAKE. IF YOUR PASTURE IS PACKED WITH ROCKS YOU DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT HOW DANGEROUS YOUR RAKE IS. THE TINES WILL BREAK OFF AND WHEN THEY DO WATCH OUT. LAST WEEK I LOST 4 OF THEM DONING WHAT YOUR YOUR THINKING OF. DIDN'T MEAN MUCH UNTILL ONE WENT PAST ME AND LANDED INFRONT OF THE TRACTOR. MY RAKE IS IN RETIREMENT. KNOW I ONLY USE IT FOR LOOSE GRAVE IN THE DRIVE.

Dan. Be patient with your self and your machine. I just had the very same experience. I have a JD4600 with the 48 Backhoe. Took the backhoe off to put my scraper box on to do a little leveling and ended up scratching my head. You need to play with the angle a little bit, I used some WD40 on the ends so that the balls in the arms rotate very easily. After I did it once I had to do it again because its such a tight fit. I guess you could say they really enginered it.

I just bought a JD4600, 4wdrive, Powereverser, with creeper. R4 tires and a 460 loader, I paid 24,475 in VT. All I know was he was $2000. cheaper than the dealer in NY for the exact same tractor. Hydrostatic is about 1000. more so ther you go.
