Installing & testing 3 new upgrades for the Power rake
What happens here
The video begins with an introduction to the project's goal: installing several upgrades to an MTW Power Rake. These upgrades include a hydraulic cylinder for left and right rotation, a rock guard, and a case drain hose. The presenter mentions doing things in a 'bass-ackwards' order because he had already used the upgraded rake to grade his driveway. He introduces John and Paul from MTW, who are present to assist with the retrofitting and upgrading of the power rake. A challenge is noted regarding the skid steer's 14-pin electrical connector.
Goal: Understand the scope of upgrades and identify initial challenges.
Tools and materials
- 14-pin Electrical Connector — To control electrical functions of the power rake from the skid steer (initially noted as problematic)

- CAT Skid Steer Loader CAT — The machine that will operate the power rake
