Application Techniques

Break Compacted Soil

Roll attachment plate back until guide wheels are lifted and 

only the toothed roller is in contact with the ground. The rake 

can be straight or angled, but the endplates should be rotated 

up.

Debris Removal

After soil has been loosened, tilt attachment forward until 

guide wheels control depth of the roller. Rake can be angled 

for windrowing or straight with both endplates installed to 

catch debris. Increase travel speed for this technique.

Finish Grading

Tilt rake forward until teeth of roller just touch soil. In this 

position, the rake will collect material from high areas and 

leave it in low areas. Increase travel speed for this technique.

Spreading Fill and Topsoil

Position rake so it is tilted on gauge wheels. Install endplates 

and set windrow angle as needed to control material 

movement.

Change Grade

To modify grade during finish grading, angle the rake to collect 

and windrow the maximum amount of material toward 

targeted area.

Thatch Grass Area

Tilt attachment plate forward to support the rake on the front 

gauge wheels. Raise roller so teeth just graze the surface. 

Travel speed should be slow and careful.

Operating Tips

• Do not travel or turn with skid-steer lift (loader) arms and 

attachment raised.

• Keep roller level with the ground. Keep power rake level 

with the ground, front and back.

• Do not drop power rake to the ground with roller turning. 

High speed jolts can damage motor.

Storage 

Couple hydraulic hoses to prevent contamination.
Store attachment upright in a clean, dry place. Cover 

attachment to keep it clean. 

Maintenance 

10-Hour

Check Hydraulic Hoses and Fittings 

Check hydraulic hoses for leaks every 10 hours. 

Check Hardware

Check all hardware every 10 hours. Tighten as required.

Specifications 

         

Specifications are called out according to SAE recommended 

procedures. Specifications are general and subject to change without 

notice. If exact measurements are required, equipment should be 

weighed and measured.

To help avoid injury: 

Unless otherwise noted, all 

maintenance should be performed with the engine off.
