Advice on smoothing, leveling a field

   / Advice on smoothing, leveling a field #51  
Consider a Yorkmodern Rake, model "RI-HEAVY".
The Model RI is available in two versions, Landscape or Heavy. The Landscape version uses 1" rake teeth and 1" spacing for a finer finish. The Heavy uses 1-1/4" rake teeth and 1-1/2" spacing for a coarser finish. These units combine many versatile features and adds the convenience of a Hydraulic Angle Option and a permanently mounted drop-down blade option. The Landscape and Heavy RI models are available in 6', 7', 8', 9' and 10' widths. The Model RI is now also Quick Hitch Compatible.



LINK TO SPECIFICATIONS:

I have an 8' York R1 and it's the most versatile 3pt attachment I own.

I bought it originally to level 7 acres of former pasture to make mowing easier. It works well for the project but I had to abandon the idea due to the slope involved. I have only a few inches of soil on top of hard shale ledge in spots. Disturbing the sod causes severe washouts, sometimes from a single rainstorm and there isn't enough soil to make terraces or contours.

Instead, I filled & seeded the deep ruts & holes, bought an air ride tractor seat and mow the slopes at an angle.

I still desire two tractor implements, a York (brand) RI-Heavy model rake and an Unverferth 'Perfecta' cultivator. My other implement 'wants' are satisfied.

Perhaps I should have purchased the York RI-Heavy model rake in place of the ABI TR3 Command Series rake I have. Perhaps.

Interesting implement - Jeff. I wonder how the York rake compares to a LPGS with scarifiers in both price and work accomplished.
