Rough Grading with Power Rake (Initial Passes)
At 0:18 in
Regrading a muddy wet yard with the new skid steer
What happens here
The operator utilizes a Kubota SVL65-2 compact track loader fitted with an MTL Power Rake (likely a mid-sized model like the PR-72). The power rake's rotating drum, equipped with hardened teeth, is engaged at a shallow depth to aggressively loosen the top layer of soil. The initial passes aim to break apart large clumps of dirt and buried debris, preparing the surface for finer grading. The operator works in long, straight lines, pushing forward and then reversing to ensure thorough agitation of the soil.
Goal: The skid steer, equipped with a power rake, performs initial passes across the site to break up compacted soil, level uneven areas, and begin mixing surface debris into the topsoil.
