Question on Ratchetrake

[Russ Hatch]

Can it be used to scarify a gravel driveway? Is the attachment system strong enough to handle the pressure?

Sure can!:thumbsup:

Thanks Bill, guess i'll take a trip to my local TSC tomorrow. I want it mainly for brush clearing but thought that if it worked on my driveway that would be a bonus.

Well I got the 51 inch model and mounted it on the bucket of my Kubota B7200. Woof does this thing tear brush out. Some of the brush is 15 foot high with interlaced branches. Just raise the bucket about head high and drive forward as far as you can, lower the bucket and back up. then drop thebucket to the ground and repeat. It helps if you have a trailer or dump standing by to load the brush on. The wife even likes the "man toy" as she calls it.

The ratchet rake is handier than a shirt pocket. Every time I use it,
I find another way to use it.:laughing: But, boy, does it tear out brush! And dig out rocks. And separate rocks from soil. And create woods paths. And....,well
you get the idea.

I know what you mean. Mine came with two sets of cables to use to fasten the rake to the bucket. I used the short set and hung the long set on the wall in the garage.
Today I needed to move my 5 foot rear blade to get at some thing behind it. I did not want to take the drawbar off the three point as I also needed to move a trailer. Looked at the cables with loops on each end and then at the rake with two sets of mounting hooks on it. Hooked one loop over each unused mounting hook, threaded the cable down through the middle teeth and then the other loop over the three point hitch pins. lifted the blade and moved it where I wanted it real easy.

What about with a small tractor? Their website shows a video with a skid steer. I have an 18 HP Mahindra. Can I use this rake with success, or frustration?

Mines mounted on a 1986 model,17 horse power B7200 Kubota with a 4 foot wide bucket. Works great.
