soil conditioner/power rake build

Question....and this is for anyone with a Power Rake...

I see you dont have a Barrier on your rake...I havent gotten around to building my barrier yet, but I have some work for it now...how does it work without a barrier?

For your gear box what is the ratio of output to the drum?

The gearbox ratio is 1.75 rpm in, gives me 1 rpm output. I further reduced the output speed with my sprockets for a 2:1 final, giving me about 270 rpm on my drum. I think I will speed it up slightly by changing my sprockets

Which direction does the drum turn?

The drum turns reverse of most tillers

Do you think you could use a shroud to cover the drum to stop debris from hitting your tractor and possibly you?[/QUOTE]

I am planning on adding a shield

I am planning on adding a barrier. Without it, it does let some bigger lumps up and over the drum. It does work very well though, even with out the barrier

THANK YOU for posting your build. I am kicking around a few ideas for my 743B
What would be a good type of replacement teeth or "knubs" you could mount to the cylinder?

Thanks Again
