General Operating Instructions

First, completely familiarize yourself with the Operator’s 
Manual. Then complete the Operator’s checklist, 
properly attach the Powered Rake to your tractor, make 
initial depth, level, and roller angle adjustments. After 
completing the above, you will need to choose a work 
site, perform operational safety checks, and make final 
adjustments before using your Land Pride Powered 
Rake.

It’s now time for a running operational safety check. Make 
certain that the tractor’s park brake is engaged, power 
take-off is disengaged, and the Powered Rake is resting 
on the ground. Start the tractor and back off engine rpm 
to approximately one-quarter throttle. Using the rear draft 
link hydraulic control, lift the Powered Rake about half 
way off the ground and then engage the rear power take-
off. If everything is running smoothly, increase throttle 
speed until you have reached full operating speed. Never 
engage the tractor power take-off at full engine rpm., 
damage to the driveline and/or Powered Rake could 
occur.

To make final adjustments, choose a work site that is dry 
and allows you to make at least a 50 ft. straight run. Raise 
Powered Rake half way off the ground, disengage tractor 
power take-off, release the park brake, and travel to your 
starting point. Travel speed should be between 3 and 5 
mph.

Once at the site, idle the tractor engine, engage the 
power take-off, and then increase engine speed until the 
tractor is at full 540 rpm operating speed. Begin traveling 
forward while gently lowering the running Powered Rake 
to the ground. Make slight changes to the tractor’s ground 
speed as you travel forward to determine the desired 
ground finish. Generally, a slower speed results in a finer 
finish, while a higher speed results in a coarser finish. 
Excessive ground speed may result in dirt or material 
passing over the top of the material control deflector or 
too much material being windrowed off to the side. 
Powered Rakes do not perform well in wet sticky soil. 
Avoid making sharp turns or backing-up when in contact 
with the ground.

Normal operating rake angle is 15 degrees left or right. 
However, you may want to make subtle hydraulic 
adjustments to the roller angle to determine varying 
effect on the surface finish.

IMPORTANT: 

Shut off all power, disengage power 

take-off, set park brake, and remove ignition key any 
time the Powered Rake is not operating properly or 
needs adjustment.

You can also vary the effect on the surface finish by 
setting the material control deflector height above the 
roller. The material control deflector sifts out clods, rocks, 
and other debris as the soil passes over the top of the 
roller. Adjusting the blade down decreases the gap 
between the deflector and roller and will sift out more 
objects for a finer soil finish. Adjusting the blade up allows 
more clods, rocks, and debris to pass over the roller and 
produces a coarser soil finish. 

Set working depth and level the rake at the caster gauge 
wheels and not with the tractor. Normally a one-inch 
cultivation depth is considered ideal for a surface finish. 
Make adjustments to the working depth if too many rocks 
or excessive debris pass under the roller by changing the 
C-spacers on the gauge wheel spindles. Increase 
working depth by moving the spacers from below the 
support arms to above the support arms. Decrease 
working depth by moving the spacers from above the 
gauge wheel support arms to below the support arms. 

The Powered Rake should also be set to operate level. It 
has a tendency to go in deeper on the driveline side (left 
side) because that is the heavy side of the rake. 
Compensate for this by changing the C-spacers on the 
right gauge wheel so that it is set approximately 1" 
deeper than the left gauge wheel.

After you have traveled 50 feet, properly shut down the 
tractor and Powered Rake to inspect the finish and 
determine what, if any, additional adjustments need to be 
made. Check for any foreign objects wrapped around the 
roller or lodged between moving parts. 

Remember that the right finish is achieved through a 
combination of proper soil moisture conditions, operating 
depth, ground speed, material control deflector opening 
and roller angle. Your Powered Raking capabilities will 
improve rapidly with experience.
