Front & Rear rakes

Location

Hi all.
So recently I saw an article online about front rakes, a pretty good idea and certainly will shave some time off baling etc for some people.

I don't know wether anyone has actually thought about an idea of using a rear rake in such a way that it can be used on the front AND rear of a tractor - I.e a rake that if needed to can be used for the front and rear links in the same way and for the same use...

As an engineering student I thought of the idea after seeing the article and, after having a quick think, it seems feasible. Theoretically, with a bit of re-engineering and an option to reverse gearbox rotation, it seems like it could be done.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

One of the many front / rear rakes , not as bad as it looks for junctions
