Ratchet Rake Cleaning Up Slope On Firebreak

We have a community burn pile.

I try to keep a wide area around the burn pile vegetation free using a Howse Disc Harrow and ETA Landscape Rake as primary tools.

There is a little slope where approach road runs below burn area that I have not be able to keep "clean".

I had the Ratchet Rake on the FEL for another job and decided to give it a try. It worked great.

The vegetation is green because we have had atypical rain all summer. Normally vegetation would be dry, golden and flammable.

Looks good! Sometimes I wish that was the only slope I had to deal with. I am in pucker mode every time I mount up!
