Power rake?

[Tchamp]

I have a power rake attachment and not sure how to use it or what it’s purpose is for the power trac configuration, it looks as if it could be used for removing roots, small trees and leveling ground.
Does anyone have experience with this attachment?

That looks mor like a sheeps foot compactor. But looking on-line I see it's a rake. Does it not angle for windrowing material? I have an 8 foot Harley rake and the angling is kind of key for most work.

Just think of it as a planer of sorts. Not really for removing trees. Mostly for breaking up and levelling ground.

Beats me.

Looks like he's leveling and removing rocks to one end of that pad so he can scoop them out.

It would be nice if it angled so you could windrow the rocks.

It may look like a compaction tool, but that isn't what it does. It grinds to a set depth.

It's used to level soils prior to seeding or for sod, although I guess you could use it as an intermediate step in foundations between compaction rounds. The four wheels set a level plane that in successive passes tend toward level. It is quite fast compared to the alternatives, until you step up to GPS control.

All the best,

Peter

Thank you for the info. Much appreciated

It windrows fine. The tool doesn't need to angle. The machine articulates.

If you ever decide to sell it, I would be interested in buying it

Used for grading. It pulverizes and levels soil while removing debris to create a great seedbed. I also use it to smooth out existing lawns without removing all the existing grass. It also works very well grading gravel driveways.

To use it, adjust both front and back caster wheels to control your depth. Don't try to cut too deep.
