WHAT IS A 3-POINT HITCH AND
DO I NEED ONE?
The three-point hitch is a standardized method of attching implements (equipment) to tractors. The hitch uses two lower connection points and one upper point which provides a rigid connection. Hydraulic cylinders operate on the lower arms to raise and lower the implement. If the back of your tractor looks like the pictures to the right, then you would need to purchase our 3-Point Hitch Adapter.

DO I NEED A RIDING MOWER TO USE IT?
Yes, but they’re a lot more affordable than you may think. And you’ll never regret owning one. Look for pre- and post-season sales if you’re on a budget.

HOW MUCH TIME AND EFFORT WILL I SAVE?
Most people are amazed. Check out our testimonials page to read what customers say. And use our free referral service to talk to a neighbor near you who owns one. It will almost certainly save you days or weeks of hard labor every year. For leaf removal, as an example, one person using the Cyclone Rake can do the job of a 3 to 5 man landscaping crew with almost no effort at all. There’s no lifting, dragging or bagging to do. And debris is mulched to a fraction of original size, so it composts beautifully. It’s far superior to other kinds of leaf equipment, such as a leaf blower or grass catcher.

IS IT JUST FOR LEAF REMOVAL?
The Cyclone Rake is terrific for year round lawn and property care, not just for leaf collection. It will sweep your lawns almost carpet-clean and eliminate 90% or more of the weed seeds that mowers just scatter around. Plus, you’ll be able to mow huge areas without stopping to unload. You can clear overgrown fields and off-lawn areas too. The Cyclone Rake will work for any debris that’s safe for your mower blades.

WILL IT WORK IN MY CLIMATE?
It works anywhere you can use a riding mower. Use our referral service to talk to a neighbor in your town who owns one. Talk about your kind of weather, your kind of property, and your neighbor’s experiences. You can discuss anything you like, with no interference from us.

DO YOU SELL IN STORES?
The Cyclone Rake is sold factory direct only. This eliminates the middleman expense and gives you direct contact with the people who built it. You deal with factory experts, rather than retailers or catalogs who just resell hundreds of items made by others. Check out our factory tour for more information.

WHAT IF I WANT TO SEE ONE?
That’s easy, too. Use our free referral service to contact a neighbor near you who owns one. It’s better than a retail store because you’ll be talking to someone who actually uses it at a home like yours.

WHAT WARRANTY AND RETURN PROTECTION DO YOU OFFER?
Every Cyclone Rake is warranted for three years from date of delivery. And you have a 12-month risk-free trial period to use it. If you’re not satisfied, you can return it for a full refund during the first twelve months. We even refund the shipping cost if you live in the contiguous 48 states or contiguous Canada.
