About 2 months ago I bought a new root rake - skid steer design, separate attachment for my 4wd 6500 FEL. I have been doing alot of rootraking and grading with it. It does okay, but I have stalled the tractor alot if I put it in 3rd or above gear. 2nd gear seems optimum. for really tough work, 1st gear. I have alot of work to do and not a whole lot of time (have to take care of my guys), so I am looking for suggestions on techniques for using this root rake. Mostly raking and contouring ground that has been bulldozed. I am also trying to root rake an area that has bamboo roots. I will take any suggestions. My root rake looks homemade - I bought it new at an auction.
