Video

If you've done thousands of hours on a power rake, why are you looking at video of how a power rake works. For those of us who are new tractor owners and don't know what a power rake even is, I thought the video was helpful.

@@jasonh8416 Why are you questioning why he is watching this video? Obviously he has an interest and may have come here to learn something new but didn't. Trophies for everyone no longer works, if there's something true but negative to be said then so be it. Pointing out flaws is how we improve overall as people and pretending is for kids who want to remain immature. Your a newbie questioning an experienced operator while defending a useless video all at the same time. I'm sure your results will be nothing but spectacular. Now go put your big boy hat on and GROW UP.

@@petebusch9069 "Grow up"? Seriously? The keyboard warrior above me said the video was "of no value" and I defended the video because it was of value to me, and I need to grow up? The video shows the tool in action. For someone who has only heard of a power rake and didn't know what it was, the video is helpful to see what it looks like in action and how it works. That's all. Chill out.

@@jasonh8416 The video didn't show a thing and is a complete waste of time.

Thanks for the comment!

Steel. I use it on concrete, asphalt, concrete pavers, and gravel. Part of me would like the UMHW edge, but I have never had a problem with the steel. I have never noticed it cause any damage. Its barely made a dent in wearing it down in 3-4 years of use. The backdrag will scrap very clean, while the main pusher leaves about .25" in some conditions. Mostly because the edge runners make the main blade float a bit. Overall does a great job!

Thank you for watching!

Works great. Have not had to use the chains. Tractor is a 1025R with turf tires. HLA 72" Snowpusher. Handles 12-16"+" of dry snow no problem. If its really wet and heavy i may take smaller width bites.

So does your mum

I don't understand what you mean.

We build to Allan Blcok specs. Gravel provides drainage. Without water there can be no frost heave. Gravel is flexible, and thats the strength of Allan Block. It can move with the weather and changing seasons. solid concrete retaining walls usually fail.

Harley makes the Frontier PR1160 power rake. It’s literally the same thing as a Harley rake. Nice try though. 👍

This Frontier Power rake is made by Harley rake, and thus truly a Harley rake. It handles roots, and debris, and can be used in very wet conditions. It's not the best at everything, but it is the number one attachment for taking a very overgrown area and prepping it for a beautiful lawn.

You know it!

A Bic lighter for drainage?

Glad it was helpful!

Skid steer goes in the trailer. Would be nice if they made a big enough dump trailer for both machines...

Is it impossible to build it to not fail?

If you live in the Fraser Valley we could do it for you... www.back40landscaping.ca

This was just to see if we could get all of our equipment in one trip, like plywood and our track dumprrs. Our trailer is long enough that it will fit everything, sometimes you need to get creative!

Thank you for the tip!

Your correct, manual adjustment is all that works.

Sorry fox finder

No one cares what you like

Thank you Jas!

Say what?

That's crazy talk!

THe float doesn't work. For some reason it actually pushes the tractor front wheels up. It would need float on the down, and LIFT cylinder to work. After using it for a few hours its muscle memory to apply the correct amount of down pressure. If you apply to much you loose steering.

No. We have chains, but only used them once to try it. With turf tires, and less than 8" of snow the 1025R handles the 72" Hla snow pusher just fine. If its deeper I take narrower swaths. This is in Abbotsford B.C Canada, where the snow is usually pretty wet.

Great manufacturer as well! No company trains as well as Allan Block (Belgard).

Allan Block has it covered for decades and beyond.

yes a 2018 1025R

Hi Ron, Thank you for watching, and taking the time to comment. Along with my wife Natasha we own the company. I spend a lot of time thinking about ways to improve and be even more efficient. The vast majority of the time we need our excavator, skid steer, and track dumpers on a job. Making one trip can save hours of transport time. And doing so with a dump trailer allows us to haul materials in and out. I have no issue spending 5 min to put an excavator in the back of the truck. if the job is an hour away, I just saved 2 hours by making a single trip! Sam

I love the HLA snow pusher. It's very well made, and the snow does not build up inside of it. I have the 72" one for our 1025R tractor. Handles the snow the majority of the time. When the snow is wet I take narrower paths. I have the standard steel bottom, with the steel back drag kit. The steel has not damaged concrete, exposed aggregate, or asphalt. A snow pusher is a must in my opinion for tractors as their hydraulics are so slow. Not having to empty out a bucket every push saves time, and makes a tractor a legitimate snow removal machine. Snow pushers are great at putting the snow exactly where you want it, while angle plows are better at opening up a long driveway etc. For a gravel driveway if the ground is frozen you will have no problem with going forward as the skid shoes will float for you. Backdragging is a little more skillful as you can easily pull gravel... Not a lot, but some. It's better than just using a. bucket though. The only other option you may want to look at, although I don't use mine is a set of Edge tamers... They are a cheap add on for a bucket to make it float 1/2" above the surface of gravel, or a lawn... They seem good, but again the bucket hydraulics are pretty slow on these little tractors. Best of luck in making your decision! -Sam

@@back40landscaping Thank you very much for the useful information I ordered one today may take 2-3 months to get one but will have one by winter. I appreciate the time and info you gave me. Joe

The backdrag option is a MUST. It cleans the surface so much better than going forward, and allows you to pull snow away from areas you can't get the machine backed into... I use the backdrag almost as much as the forward...

Lucky eagle congrats! 2 very capable machines

Your crying face is about the same angle of that mini ex...!

Hi patty, new at some things for sure! This was the first day of owning these 2 machines, and first time putting the excavator in the back of the truck. We have since done it a few dozen times, and no accidents yet!

Sheesh dude. Take it down a level. There just playing around. Take it for what it is. It's kinda funny. It's probably all rental stuff. Not everyone is an operator

Thanks for the back up! Day 1 of owning this equipment, and figured we could get it all loaded up in one trip!

Thanks for the comment Pete... Still living in Chilliwack?

@@back40landscaping peter sounds like a dick....thanks for the video. I enjoyed it👍

You pay, and i'm there!

Спасибо за ваш комментарий. Трактор стоил 35 000 канадских долларов, а Power Rake - около 15 000 долларов. Thank you for your comment, The tractor cost $35,000 Canadian, and the Power Rake was about $15,000.

@@back40landscaping great hanging!👍🤝

@@back40landscaping $15,000 or $1500?

15,000 Canadian

Hi Ron, Yes. Gotta keep them cleared, as well as the community mailbox!

Hi Ron, Yes. Gotta keep them cleared, as well as the community mailbox!

Couldn't agree more! Our skid steer will be outfitted with a Metal Pless soon!

Hi Mike, Our HLA Snow pusher is 72" and on our John Deere 1025r tractor. Ballast is usually around 500-700lbs, and even without chains does a good job handling that width in 6" of snow. If you're looking for more info I have responded to a lot of questions throughout some of the other videos. The discussion with other subscribers may be of interest to you. Thank you for watching, Sam
