She's Tired of picking up rocks! So we put this little tractor to work!

What happens here

The first task before beginning the extensive raking is to fix a flat tire on the front landscape rake. The farmer explains that the tire had a recurring issue of going flat and coming off the rim. The tire store had installed a 'slimed tube' as a repair. The farmer demonstrates reinstalling the wheel and tire assembly onto the rake, highlighting the greasable bushing that allows the wheel to spin smoothly. He explains that these wheels are crucial for maintaining a consistent depth and leveling the ground while raking debris or gravel.

Goal: Ensure all equipment is fully operational before commencing work.

Tools and materials

  • Grease Gun — Lubricating the greasable parts
  • Slimed Tube — Repairing the flat tire and preventing future punctures
