You have a vertical post (channel?) at the front. The cable is attached to it. What is that for?
Do you find the linear actuator is fast enough to be convenient?
What material did you make the actual rake tines from, please? And how wide is the rake?
I also noticed the 20lbs weights on the rake. Did you add them after testing? Did you find them needed to keep the rake on the ground? I ask, because the actuator would also keep it in position, wouldn't it?
I would really like to build something like this for myself, and yours is the first I have ever seen that looks simple enough for me to make.
Great work.
Thanks,
Joe
