You must have to lift it to cross over the sidewalk or driveway.

I took a pull behind de-thatcher and fabricated it for a Sleeve Hitch application. I could do some more improvements, but it does work for my needs.

Seems to me you'd have to only do straight runs and pick it up for all your corners, or else you'd end up damaging it. If anyone's done it successfully so you could keep it down while doing tight turns I'd love to see how it was done so I could copy it.

Yes, you have to pickup for turns. I bought this plug one at an auction 2 weeks ago and used it a few days.

This works for me.
Really handy for getting in tight corners!
Just make your self a tool bar to fit whatever type lift you have.
Then get rid of whatever you don't need (which is most of it) from the store bought unit and mount the actual de-thatcher part and you are all set.

Looks like some good ideas, I realize it would need lifted for turns but not a big concern as I got some longer straight runs . I just think it would be easier to lift with the hitch rather than wrestle the attachment lift lever while twisting around backwards in the seat ? thanks for the input !!

I had no problem turning using my Kensico aerator. Now if you can find one ( I may know a source) of these Brinly front mount thatchers you can do both at once.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
