Whether youβre connecting a new Cyclone Rake to an existing mower, or a used Cyclone Rake to new equipment, getting the right fit is essential for smooth operation and maximum debris collection. Cyclone Rake systems are compatible with most riding mowers and lawn tractors, but there are a few key requirements and parts youβll need to get it all working properly.
Check Basic Mower Compatibility
The first thing to confirm is whether your mower meets the essential requirements to work with the Cyclone Rake. It must have:
Right-hand discharge (this is required)
Minimum 10 HP engine
Sturdy rear frame capable of towing
Not compatible with:
Stand-on or standing mowers
Articulating or front-deck mowers
Rear-discharge or left-discharge models
Understand the 3 Key Connection Points
Once compatibility is confirmed, your setup will require three properly matched components:
Mower Deck Adapter (MDA) β Fits your mower deck and Cyclone Rake model
Deck Hose β Connects the MDA to the Cyclone Rakeβs engine/blower
Hitch β Attaches the Cyclone Rake to your mowerβs rear frame
All three must match your mowerβs exact make and model and the Cyclone Rake model you own or plan to purchase.
