It saved me so much time on this project...seeding a new lawn/pasture no till !

What happens here

Start the John Deere 5065 tractor and maneuver it to the cleared area. Use the landscape rake to smooth out the soil and remove debris like rocks and roots. The technique involves raking in one direction to smooth, then angling the rake (by reversing the direction of travel) to gather debris into rows. These rows of debris are then pushed to the edges of the plot, specifically down a nearby hill and into the woods, to clear the area completely. The creator plans to go over the area three times: once for large bumps, once for rocks, and a final pass with an angled rake.

Goal: Smooth the soil and remove all debris from the cleared acreage.
