TRACTOR MOUNTED, GROUND-RAKING AND ROCK-GATHERING APPARATUS

摘要

Ground-raking and rock-gathering apparatus comprises an attachment for a tractor having a forwardly located, material-handling bucket, i.e., a "front end loader." The attachment includes a rotatably mounted endless, flexible support having mounted thereon a plurality of raking teeth. Pivotal mounting means mount one end of the support on the bucket with the support extending forwardly of the bucket in upper and lower runs. The lower run is arranged to deliver to the bucket solid objects gathered by the teeth. Drive means are connected to the support for driving it in a rotational direction predetermined to move the lower run in the direction of the bucket. Elevating means are connected to the support for moving it angularly about the pivotal mounting means between raised and lowered positions.
