What happens here

The presenter climbs into the cab tractor and begins operating the TR3 rake. He explains that the hydraulic top link on the tractor allows for dynamic adjustment of the rake's angle and depth from the operator's seat. He uses the grader blade in front to pull material, followed by the landscape rake to smooth it. The rippers are set high to avoid digging too deep initially. The goal is to make multiple passes, pulling gravel from the edges towards the center to build up the crown and then smoothing it out. The cab tractor offers comfort and protection from dust, bugs, and weather, making the job more pleasant.

Goal: The presenter operates the tractor and TR3 rake to crown the driveway, explaining the function of the hydraulic top link and the different rake components.

works [Music] so here we are at the rear of the tractor we're gonna go ahead and hook up the tr3 rate get it up in the air and i can explain it to you just a little bit better this thing is super easy to hook up and unhook because there are buttons on the fender right here for me to raise and lower the lift arm so in other words i don't have to get it perfect while i'm in the tractor and jump on and off and on and off i can adjust it from right here on the outside of the fender pretty cool i however cannot adjust this abi top link this is a hydraulic top link and man what a handy tool this is i'm just bumping it outward just a little bit so tr3 tractor rake three and one it's a greater blade up front right here there are rippers right here to help you rip up in case you've got an old worn out driveway that needs to be ripped up uh say that's been packed for 25 years and you need to get down in there and pull out some fresh gravel that's what those rippers are for you can use this on gravel you can use it on dirt you can use it on pretty much anything to smooth land or smooth rock and on the back is a landscape rake we'll get you guys some cool details some good close-ups of this stuff what we're going to be doing today is adjusting so you'll see a wheel right here and it has a wheel on the other side the way we need to adjust this is so that when it sits on the ground it sits at an angle okay so we won't be adjusting our three point arms we'll just be adjusting the tr3 rake the way it rolls along the ground so without further ado all i got to do to make this adjustment is pull a pin if i can get my hands on it down there there it is i'll pull a pin out i'll pop this wheel out and i'll move it to the furthest most front position and then the other one i'll move to the furthest most rear position this is angled so when it rides the one that's in the front is going to ride lower the one that's in the back is going to ride higher because of the angle of slope right here we'll get you a little more detail on how that works we've got our rippers which are fully adjustable right here i've got them in the highest position we've got the rake in the back and we've got the greater blade in the front you're going to see this thing at work is it pulls debris and it's going to pull rocks in this case if you used it on land that was just recently cleared and you need to pull the rocks and sticks out of the land that's what this thing was designed for was actually…
