Let's have some ideas for some accessories for the Raven. I can fabricate just about anything within reason so let's see what we can come up with.

Maybe a hitch that is rated for more than 550lbs?

Maybe a hitch that is rated for more than 550lbs? I think the main issue for a hitch would be having to add weight to the front of the raven. They are pretty light on the front end. |

I believe the bagger comes with front end weights that might help this?

I now have my raven 3 summers only had a problem with one motor on cutting deck. Last year they came to home and replaced the motor controller great service after call 2 hours later back up running. So far rock solid 2 1/2 acres and generator many hours using my electric tools I can't ask for more right? I ride it down road to my friends home about 2 miles in high range down and back never a problem weather here have been real hot I think starting battery may be taking a toll I call them and they are sending me a back up. How many other companys would do that? Got to say best company to do Business with.

Already made a Wall Mount to hang the mower deck and get it up and out of the way. I may add some handles to the deck to make it easier to lift the deck and hang it. Currently working on a raised hitch so I can pull my wood chipper and have it more or less level instead of nearly dragging the ground. How about a light duty Front End Loader using an electric hydraulic pump or electric actuators running off of the mower deck power plug. There are front end loaders available for ATVs that have suspension locks to keep the ATV stable. Personally I don't need one since I have a tractor with a loader already but I would be really useful for other owners. |

I just finished and tested my raised trailer hitch for my Raven, it's made from more scrap steel that I had laying around. Just some 2" "C" Channel and a piece that I cut out of some 4"X8"X3/16" tube that I welded to the original hitch. I was lazy and didn't drag the wood chipper out to,figure the height and had to weld an extra 1/4" plate to the top to get the hitch nearly level but I'm happy with it. |

crawford, thanks feel free to "steal" my wall hanger! If you haven't pulled your deck yet you might look at possible locations for two handles to make lifting that heavy deck. I saw where John Deere is selling a hitch pin for lawn mowers that is held in place with a magnet instead of a hitch pin clip, I'd buy one but its only 4" long and I want mine to go through both of the holes on my modified trailer hitch. I used an inexpensive 1/2" X 7" pin with a grab handle and epoxied a ring magnet that has a steel cover from Harbor Freight (had to drill out the original hole) to it. I'll try it out in a few days after the epoxy cures, if the epoxy fails then I'll try tack welding the steel housing to the pin. I wanted to try the epoxy first since magnets don't do well with high heat. Attachments:

not fabricated, but i did mount the swisher atv universal attachment mount and got the bucket and plow and a guy on ebay sold me a custom made pallet fork attachment for it. i used the curved brackets from the universal mount to attach a harbor freight winch as well to get the whole set up working. Works pretty good.

Did anyone buy the BC-48 battery charger? and does it work well for you? Yes and it works great. We use the unit on battery all week hauling yard material around and moving cut trees to the storage area. the charger turns green when fully charged. we noe have our raven 7100 for almost a year and instead of replacing the mower blades at 25 hours I clean and sharpen them and use a professional balancer to check balance. that keeps the motor shafts from getting damaged from the blades being out of balance. |
