First Claim
1. A tool, said tool being adapted for use with a skid steer for working soil, said skid steer including a frame chassis defining an operator compartment, a pair of lift arms, first pivot means pivotally connecting said lift arms to said chassis, a mounting plate, second pivot means pivotally connecting said mounting plate to said arms, and power means for pivoting said mounting plate about said second pivot means,said tool comprising a support member, mounting means connecting one end of said support member to said mounting plate, and a tined member connected to the other end of said support member and having tines for contacting soil, said mounting plate being pivotable into a position disposing said tines at an acute angle with respect to ground, said acute angle being adjustable by pivoting said mounting plate about said second pivot means, to permit soil to be graded and dragged as the skid steer is moved in both forward and reverse directions, and a set of spaced scarifying teeth extending from said support member at one direction with respect to the support member, said tines extending from said support member in a direction other than said one direction.

Abstract
A rake attachment for use on a skid steer, which can be used for multiple lawn and grounds preparation activities, such as grading, filling, leveling and scarifying. The rake attachment of this invention combines several useful attachment functions into a single compact design. The rake attachment includes a support frame that has spaced side support members to define an opening through which a skid steer operator may view the soil being worked. Scarifying teeth extend from the support frame to penetrate the ground for scarifying. The support frame includes tines which work and level the soil as it is being scarified by the scarifying teeth.
