ABSTRACT:
A mobile lawn rake attachment advantageous for use in conjunction with conventional riding mowers or other similar towing vehicles for providing a convenient method of raking large areas of accumulated grass clippings, leaves, and other associated lawn debris and effectively reducing the overall time required for such raking operations including a wheel frame assembly having a forwardly extending portion thereon for coupling to a conventional towing vehicle, a first rake tine assembly mounted for pivotal movement on a first tine carrying cross-bar member positioned on the forward portion of the wheel frame assembly, a second rake tine assembly mounted for pivotal movement on a second tine carrying cross-bar member positioned aft of the first rake tine assembly and disposed above the wheel frame assembly, the second rake tine assembly having three substantially identical overlapping tine sections which may be constructed in varying arrangements relative to each other including having the center tine section disposed aft of the two end tine sections positioned adjacent thereto, and a relatively simple linkage mechanism readily accessible from the seat of the towing vehicle for pivotally raising and lowering both rake tine assemblies between a ground engaging operative raking position and an elevated position angularly related thereto for delivering and dumping the accumulated debris gathered and retained therein. The present device may also include optional tine sections which may be easily and conveniently attached to the outermost tine portions of certain embodiments of the aft rake assembly for more efficiently gathering and retaining associated lawn debris within the rake assembly.
