What Are the Benefits of a Landscape Rake?

Tractor Compatible

• The landscape rake, also called a power rake or a rock rake, can be attached to the back of a tractor, which allows the owner to use the power of the tractor and also reduces the degree of physical labor that the farmer has to use when cleaning up the property using the landscape rake, according to Land Pride.

Customizable

• The landscape rake can be adjusted to rest at various angles on the back of the tractor so that you can adjust the landscape rake in the way that best allows for efficient excavating, according to Land Pride. The owner of the landscape rake must adjust the rake frequently in the beginning until the calibration of the landscape rake is just right.

Durability

• The landscape rake can last a very long time as long as it is properly maintained. The gauge wheel must be greased once a day with a multipurpose lubricant, according to Land Pride. The rake teeth must be lubricated generously every season that the rake is used. Any damaged parts should be replaced so that they do not damage other parts. The landscape rake usually comes with a manual that provides information on where to order replacement parts. The front hood of the landscape rake is very durable, which allows the rake to last for a long time.

Extra Features

• The landscape rank has bolt or assembly tubes, which makes it easier for the entire rake assembly to be replaced, according to Work Tools. The conveyor has a relief valve that prevents the conveyor from becoming damaged if some object becomes lodged in it. The sprocket and idler placement enhance the balance of the landscape rake so that it reduces the chances that the tractor will tip over, which can be a serious danger, according to Work Tools.

Deeper Excavation

• The landscape rake often has a hydraulic thumb that can be attached to the rake, which allows rocks, twigs and roots to be more deeply excavated, speeding up the excavation process, according to Patent Docs.
