it was really cheap compared to buying through deere. I bought a set of pins and bushings for an excavator bucket project I was building from. I paid my local machine shop 5.5k Canuck bucks over 15 years ago to make a lot smaller one for our JD 690 excavator. Not sure how the $3.3k place pays for a secretary and keeps the heat bill paid up. Got one in '98 shipped to our door.very satisfied. I am going to get one for my 850j next spring and I am going to get it from USA Attachments there stuff looks to be very heavy-duty and priced right I need one that is 10' wide this place uses 1 1/2' AR400 steel for the 'teeth' and 6ењ† 1/2 tubing on the bottom it is priced at 3150 bucks compared to a place that had an ad in the classified ad section here on ag talk they only use a 5x5 tubing and the teeth are only 1 1/4 thick and there price is 5000 only thing the first one is built-in North Carolina where the other one is built in Wisconsin so freight will cost me just a little bit more.Д®dit: Called down there today and was quoted 550 for freight so I will have 3700 into it setting in my yard. Much to my wife's dismay we do have 2 dozers and are going to put the root rake on the bigger one because we're not sure we're keeping the smaller dozer. Anyone have any places they have bought from that make a good one? Any advice on this purchase? We don't have a skid loader and don't have enough use for it to buy one. We have quite a few acres that has saplings and smallish trees to clean up. I'm thinking about a root rake for our D5m dozer. I know it's been discussed before but couldn't find anything recent.

I'm dealing a lot with smaller bush,trees and 10' pine tree stumps so I wanted mine closer together.

But the freight gets expensive, plus I didnt want to wait and all the ones I've seen have the teeth spaced out pretty far. Yous can buy a really nice pin on rake fairly cheap. I've used it now for over s year of and on and no more broken teeth! I've had it where I had one tooth against a gum tree or stump and actually had the dozer walk around trying to push it up and haven't broken any more. I took it back and added the plate and welded the sh.t out of it with lots of 7014. The first time I tried it I eventually broke some teeth off, but it was open on the bottom between the teeth. I figured that would be stronger than butting them against the tubing and welding them on. So it's essentially now a 6ењ† box tube with teeth in between. Then I put a plate across the top side of the I beam. And welded a piece of 3/8 plate between each tooth. I spread them like 10' apart maybe a little closer. Anyway I notched the top portion where it would stick up inside half of the h beam. I used mostly the upper portion of the fork because it was not tapered. I started with a 6' I beam and I cut up a bunch of old pallet forks from industrial forklifts. Well after I repaired it from the first go around. I built one for my komatsu d31p lgp and it works really good. So my question is does this sound like it will be heavy enough, or am I welding me self into a pile of headaches.ДЄny input would be greatly appreciated and if any body has built one pictures would also be helpful. On each end of the main beam i was planning on welding a piece of box tube to stop the rake form moving sideways, and weld it all together with 7018 or 6011 (I have a bunch of it). Then I was going to use 2X2 box to go up to the top of the blade to pin it on.

I am thinking of getting a 6X6 with 3/8 wall box steel and welding 1 inch thick plate to it for teeth about 10 inches long at a slight forward angle,and space them about 10 to 12 inches apart, install gussets high on the tooth. I am wanting to build a root root rake for an old Case 450. We are using this dozer to reclaim some over grown pastures and to push stumps around that had been pulled with an excavator, and general use around a large hobby farm. Hello I am new to operating heavy equipment, we have an old Case 450 dozer that runs very well after we rebuilt the track tenshioners, It has ok chains and good sprockets.
