Power raking! #shorts
What happens here
After completing the initial forward passes, reposition the skid steer to perform reverse passes over the same area. Engage the power rake once again, adjusting its depth as necessary to achieve a finer finish, further level the surface, or consolidate the material. Operating in reverse can offer improved visibility of the material directly behind the machine, allowing for more precise control over the final grade and texture. Continue making passes, alternating directions if preferred, until the desired level of surface refinement and grading is achieved. The goal is a smooth, uniform surface, with larger debris separated out.
Goal: Further level, refine, and smooth the gravel surface.
