Paul, others may have considerably more insite into your application but I will offer a few thoughts.
I don't think a liftable rear hitch was ever offered for the 400 series tractors, so no, the rear hitch is likely not adjustable.
800, 8000 and G series riders did have liftable rear hitches as an option, but I'm not even sure that would work in your application.
I am assuming your rake is not a 3 point hitch? The standard hitch on a 800 or newer tractor is easily reversed to offer two different heights. Beyond that you would need to see if a liftable hitch would work or make something yourself.
From a traction/power standpint I'm sure a good running 432 would be just fine, as would almost any GRAVELY rider.
I assume you have a line on a 432? A newer, 8000 series or G long frame tractor may be a little more effective? And are easier to find parts and attachments for.
Hopefully some others can offer you more info.
