What happens here
A Bobcat S185 skid-steer loader, fitted with an ABI SR3 Command Series attachment, is used to mechanize the soil preparation. This attachment features a front rake, adjustable center tines for controlling loosening depth, and a back rake for final smoothing. The operator initially uses the center tines to scarify and break up the hard-packed ground, ensuring the desired 6-inch loosening depth. Afterward, the front and back rakes are engaged to further blend the new topsoil with the existing subsoil and create a smooth, level grade suitable for seeding. The operator carefully adjusts the attachment to contour the ground and achieve a consistent finish.
Goal: Efficiently loosen, scarify, blend, and level the ground using heavy equipment.
