How many HP does your mower need to be to pull this? Will it work for silver maple leaves?

If you have any size riding mower / lawn tractor this will work to dethatch as a tow behind. This is _not_ a leaf rake though, it's a grass rake (removes overgrowth).

I have a 16 HP tractor and it is not problem. I believe any tractor can handle the dethatcher because it is a very light load. The dethatcher has three settings (off, dethatch, and scratchify (cuts 1/8" to 1/4" grove); it should handle maple leaves. I really like the dethatcher; I use it without any additional weights and it does a great job.

I have a John Deere 20HP.To do a good job does not require much HP.You need a slow speed so the tynes can do a good job getting the packed thach

I can say that my 26 HP Craftsman GT pulls it with a cement filled Cement block. I do not know how it works I am thinking raking leaves. I just used my 54 inch mower and blow they into a pile all chopped up. The The Brinly seems to be well made and easy to put together if U follow directions

my mower is 23 hp. However, it is very easy to pull and i think any riding mower would be able to pull it.

Yes I believe it will. I pull it with 18hp cratsman mower. It has plenty power the only concern would be rear wheel traction. My opinion is that it will.

I believe it would work on your mower. I'm not sure what kind of mower you have, but if it has a 42" deck it should be O.K. I actually put mine on a 42" Murray riding lawnmower and it worked fine. I see where they discontinued the mower blades(PP22004)so you have to find an alternative. I'd sure give it a try. Amazon may have a money back guarantee if doesn't work. Hope this helps.

Hi Frank. No, this is a push mower. If you have lots of hills, that may be a negative. But if you, like I, have basically level lawns, with this mower, all engine power goes to the blade. As I mulch rather than discharge, this is a big plus. Hope this helps. John

It should work just fine andif you make it a habbit of using this before you mow you will save you blades.

Can't say for sure, but reading reviews people are using on larger motors ,I put mine on a 3.5 HP mower. It has adjustment at bottom to adjust amount of gas to engine. Mine works great. Can't beat price of $30.00.

It should work with any mower, 4-wheeler, or tractor that has the ability to pull it.

I installed mine on a John Deere. No instructions came with it. It fits into a socket so unless the pin out of the socket is different or if the mowers called out as compatible to this switch is different it should work.

I'm not sure it will work on a 3.5 hp i put it on a 5.75 Briggs quantum engine and it worked on the first pull. If you can get the model # off the engine i can look it up and find out if it will work or find out which one will work. GLAD TO HELP JAMES

I'm not sure if this will fit your machine but I will tell you it works awesome. Just don't let your lawn get to long or mow when its wet. If it is toong it will track and if it is to wet it will work your mower very hard. I have a very thick yard.

Hi Bill,I am no expert, nor have I used it on any mower other than my Poulan 22" mower, however, I did research your mower, and it uses the exact same cutting line configuration and size of line. So, yes, it will work. This line has six cutting edges, and as such, makes a distinct sound as it cuts through the air and vegetation. It does resist breaking, but like all line it does not like the hidden sharp edges of metal. I hope this helps. I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

People allways want to push the limits of any product. Then get mad when the product breaks. This is rated to lift a maxium of 300 pounds. As long as your NOT lifting the whole lawn mower off the ground ( back or front wheels only) i do believe this will work. I have used mine for 3 summers now. Works great ,saves me a lot of time and easy to use. I have a 50" Ariens riding lawn mower with 3 cutting blades. No problem lifting the front off the ground .Easy access to get under.Very stable .Make sure you do put blocks behind the rear tires for safety. Safety FIRST.

Yes it will but it's slow. It will pull grass and weeds out of the ground, roots and all. You will have to stop and rake the stuff out of the way as you move along the area. I have a mantis tiller which really tears up the ground but it doesn't pull the weeds out as well as the B&D.; My battery lasts for about 30 miinutes, but I have 4 batteries so not a problem....

Maple about as big as I have used it on. However, if the leaves are dry, I don't see it being an issue. It's like a weed whip inside of the funnel and they just stay on top until the leaves have been shredded on through.

Marjorie, could you let me know what is the model number on the riding mower? I will be able to cross reference to a suitable battery afterwards. Being a full sized machine, I would say that a 12volt 5amp battery (the one from this webpage) would be insufficient to run it.
