What happens here

Once the ground has been initially tilled, switch to a Bobcat skid steer equipped with a 'Hydro Rake' to refine the soil and improve mixing. Drive the skid steer across the tilled area, allowing the Hydro Rake to lift, spin, and thoroughly mix the soil and remaining vegetation. This action helps to aerate the soil and further break down any clumps, resulting in a more uniform and seedable texture, unlike the compression caused by the power bucket. Adjust the rake's settings to optimize for fine grading and debris removal.

Goal: Achieve a finely mixed and aerated soil texture on previously tilled ground.

those cutting edges all right guys in this next test we're going to take the ground that we've already tilled up and now we're going to grate it back out and what we've got is a hydra rake versus a hydra bucket and here's kind of something cool and interesting the hydra rake uses the same technology that the hydra bucket does so you see this grading bar that's back here it's very similar this bucket has the same grading bar on it how's the soil it's it's good you know this was this was worked out by the tractor and the disc yeah so it didn't give us probably as much penetration and the grass worked up as much as the others other ones but yeah so [Music]
