Abstract
A brush rake is provided for use in cooperation with a tractor-type vehicle and a tree shearing device. The rake includes a plurality of generally vertical and arcuate tines which are mounted on a backing plate to form a forwardly concave tine framework. The tine framework is quickly and releasably securable to the tractor. The backing plate includes upper and lower flanges which cooperate with an attachment mechanism on the tractor to engage and disengage the rake. The rake further includes a jack stand including at least one jack leg, a corresponding jack shoe, and a corresponding support member. The support member maintains the jack leg in a lowered position which maintains the rake in an upright position for ease of connection to the attachment mechanism. The support member is detachable so that the jack leg may be pivoted upwardly after attachment to the tractor.
