RatchetRake for Brush Clearing
I have said before that I've used my RR for finish leveling and not for brush clearing. Well, I have a new story.
I have a pile of topsoil fermenting in storage on the lower part of my property. Now thta I'm doing a garden, I need the topsoil topside. The briars, brush and water sprout trees have done great in the topsoil pile.
I tackled them today with my new RR on my BX2660. Some of the trees were 8' to 10' tall and deep into briars, some rocks and other under brush. I used the front long teeth of the RR in forward and the stuff just started falling, not the trees. I stuck teeth under the water sprout trees and just lifted them up and drug them out. I went forward with big front trees and back drug with big teeth some and lower teeth some to pull almost everything up. Ground is a bit moist so bad traction for tractor but easier pulling the stuff up. Here's a pile of what I pulled up that I just lowered teeth and went forward after back dragging it away from the working pile and it rounded it all up and pushed it into a pile. Had to leave but in 30 minutes it changed from a wall of brush 10' to 15' high to this so I can now see what's actualy there.

It's the new light weight magic bucket balance level motivation indicator. Originally Posted by shrekbelly

Re: RatchetRake for Brush Clearing
Wow, that thing sure looks well built! You picture looks better than what they have on their website.
I just wish they made them a bit bigger for what I need and, of course, wish they were still available direct

Re: RatchetRake for Brush Clearing
For wider buckets and higher hp ratings. I have a 78" bucket on my skid steer and it's 80 hp. Originally Posted by JOHNTHOMAS
