I agree , mine came without wheels and it was BAD! too inconsistent and hard to control with 3 point, It looked to me like your wheels could've been lowered a bit more. Thanks for the vid, best of luck to ya!

I have a rake with the gauge wheels. What I've learned is if I have the gauge wheels on I take the top link off. This allows the rake to float a little better. I then use the stop on my 3 point control to set my height. So on level ground i lower the rake until the teeth just barely contact the ground and then set the stop. If you have draft control that could work as well. To adjust the angle of the tines I use the gauge wheels to lift or lower the back in reference to the height I want to run. Setup takes a bit but I find I get much better control and dont dig in as much. And i will say pine needles and a landscape rake suck. It clogs the rake. I've heard of removing every other tine to make it work better but that's labor intensive. They also make a pine needle rake that is designed just for those pesky leaves. I have no experience with that one though.

Thats a pretty sweet rake. Can you run it with less tines? Like remove every other tine for heavy duty land clearing. it's a little bit fine for fresh land work. With half of them removed you could use it as more of a root rake. Like you said youll have to play with it to see what works best for you but it does seem like you could drop the depth wheels that last notch or uou may need to chnge the lenght of your top link to adjust the angle. It sure does a nice job and you will always move a bit of dirt till there are no sticks left. Then the dirt can fall through the tines. Thats going to be a great addition to have.

Morning Sandy, Land scrape rakes are great one thing I learned if you are just moving debris try taking off every other tine to give better opening for dirt to get thru. Learning the angles to trim kinda like trim tabs on a boat to get best running of the equipment. You could use that debris to help fill in those marshy area you were talking about using the chips for Have a Great Day. Jla

Gathering all that dirt all of the time does not look good to me either. Can you tell us, is the top link supposed to be rigid to force the rake down or is it supposed to flex to allow the rake to float? It seems to me like the rake should follow its own level regardless whether the front of the tractor is moving up or down. Dry soil will flow through better but it did look like it should be dry enough. It is no good burying the sticks in the soil for a road. Okay for growing plants.

@@jakebredthauer5100 The center link can control the amount of entrance angle to a degree it also does keep the rake or blade from pushing in too much. some tractors have a spring that the center link end can push against but mainly the center link is for picking up the implement and keeping it set at the level desired. some tractors are equipped with a hydro or electric link that can be controlled from the operator seat and unless the tractor has down pressure the implement just floats. Sandys rake has adjustable wheels to control depth of cut which is a plus. Hope this helps Jla

@@johnaddis1022 I think you are saying that some are one-way and some are the other way. Some top links are rigid to control the height of the implement and some are variable to allow the implement to float. Thank you. I was thinking about the implement digging too much. I am not sure but it looks like if he would raise the front of the implement, changing the angle, it would not dig so much. I doubt he wants the rake to be filling up with dirt all of the time. That means you need to dump it all of the time. It would be better to just be able to go and go. I read a few of the comments and another guy said that he also removed every other tine to allow the dirt to flow better.

Work with the spacers. Massive practical part and/or theory in grooming your trails is managing and directing your runoff. Don't get fixated in squaring or balancing the rake, tilting/sloping the rake is achieved in offsetting the spacers, 5 on one side, 3 on the other. I had a 72" rake and it took about a half day to master; it turned out to be a must have tool for when my father had his larger properties. Efficient use of our time has the same value as how wisely we use our time. thanks for introducing us to Farmer Equipment Sales. Cheers

Try using a chain instead of the top link. If the tractor goes up hill, the chain will slack and not dig in but still maintain a minimum set point plus lift. Drop the wheels all the way down, then adjust chain to flat plane the rake. Use two old pins because chain is hard on them. Use 3/8" chain, loop through tractor pin and circle rake top pin with a bolt, nut and washer. Leave a little long for adjustments. I like mine for heavy debris but having trouble with it pulling too much sand when fine tuning a large flat sandy acre. I may flip it around and use in reverse tine so it won't pull so much sand(old Nevada Great Basin Lake Bed). Still learning how to use it! Good luck, it will come in handy. Mitch.

One thing I’ve found with my rake is that shortening the top link so the tines dig in less results in fewer rocks getting slingshotted like a rocket off the tines into the back of your tractor. Broken cab glass can be an expensive lesson, and fortunately one I’ve been spared so far… One downside to angling the tines so they hook less by shortening the top link - when the center pivot of the rake is no longer vertical, when changing the angle of the rake from straight across to angled, you’ll need to adjust your drop link to re-level the rake tines. Your rake may be different, but that’s how mine works.

Sandy, I LIKE IT! I would say - based upon what I see, and I'm not the one operating the equipment so it's hard to evaluate in that regard.... I'd say to put all the spacers down so you're lifting the rake as high as possible for the first run. Try to scrape as much debris as possible without scratching the ground or dragging excessive amounts of dirt. Also, try experimenting with the center height of the 3-point hitch, and see if raising/angling the rake a little higher doesn't help. I LIKE the way it rakes dirt and smooths/cleans the roadway. Again, it looks 'cleaner' than using a box blade. (You're removing debris more so than grading with it). Play with it buddy... and enjoy the new toy! Christmas in June! Hahahahahaa.................

The third point on your rake will put more lift if you can angle it back a little more to put more pressure on the rake wheels. If that makes sense 😅.I use a rear blade or sometimes called a rhino, and it has a turn buckle hooked to the upper third point, and it set the top of the blade further back or more forward, which affects the cut of the blade deeper or less deeper. 😮 It take a little figuring out. 👍.
