I have been working in the landscape world since basically forever. I have hundreds maybe thousands of hours using the Harley Rake. One thing about the angling, I’ve found that it changes the level of the drum overall. When I change from straight to angle push/pulls, I make sure to adjust before I set the rake down. And yea I always use the side wings, a lot of times I change it both directions. Best if used with wings to the machine so you only leave caster tracks, compared with the track loader. I’ve done it both ways and still turns out great.
Hey Brock. I've learned so much from you and your viewer's comments. This is a great community. Thanks for being the catalyst for bringing us all together. Great piece of equipment!!
We payed an interesting contractor so harley rake all around our newly built house 7 years ago. He had a Kubota L3940 with the cab. I bought my first Kubota a month later…. But he he did a great job of smoothing out 2-3 acres in preparation for hydroseed. He stopped back several times to check on it and while he was a nice guy, he could talk the paint of a wall.
Get some hockey pucks or very thick rubber and mount it where you want it (on the rails) where you are comfortable, so when you haul it again the Harley can rest on it and not scratch the rails !!! Liked#4
So jealous of that Harley Rake of yours. And yeah, for a cheap and quick way to remedy the width problem, find out where your weight rides the best on that trailer with that equipment and cut up an old tire, mount that rubber to the rails of the trailer. Then you will always know where exactly to put the equipment for the best trailering.
Brock, I see your trailer rocking back and forth a lot when you loading and unloading. I always set the paring brake on my truck to help stop that. It will definitely take some stress off of your transmission. Might save you a costly repair down the road.
I agree with the flat deck 100% but I think once he starts doing more public work a dump truck will take the place of the dodge and a gooseneck won't work
I was going to suggest setting the harley rake sideways on the front of the trailer with the bucket or forks, but getting in and out to hook up stuff is a little tricky with those doors. You may find that you need more than one attachment for a job. To me, a skidsteer without a bucket is like a shirt without a pocket!
Yeah, and it’s really just not the right trailer for hauling this machine on a regular basis. It’s not long enough for me to set the Harley rake at the front of the trailer and still get the weight of the skid steer centered on the trailer. May be possible if I back it on and get everything just right but not ideal
You shouldn't have to lift it everytime u get done with a pass unless thiers something in the way. Set your height and go back and fourth you'll get better results
New truck, new trailer, new equipment building and new skid loader in the last 6 months With so much money going out, I went cheap on the trailer. I already regret it, but it is working for now
I wonder if you took the trailer to a good fabrication shop if they could notch a section out so the harley rake would set flat or just cut the side rails off completely.
The way the trailer is built I don’t think I can remove the side rails because they are part of the structural support. I was thinking about modifying them but now it seems like that might be unnecessary. It was pretty convenient the way I did it Thanks for watching
I hope you have your e-brake set on that nice new truck you got or else you're going to blow out your transmission the way it's rocking when you load that thing up put some jack stands in the back of the trailer by the ramps to hold up the backend of trailer while you load to stop the trailer from rocking so much to
Looks like you’re hauling on a landscape trailer, just curious what the GVW of that is. If it’s got a six lug it’s probably just running to 3500 pound axles and might not be the best thing for a 9500 pound machine that also probably has a 1500 pound Harley rake with it. If you’re running a business I consider getting a 14,000 GVW trailer to haul that on because even with that trailer and your implements can still be technically overloading in and DOT in any state doesn’t like that
It does a nice job but waaaaaay too many buttons and gadgets and choices for me. I have enough trouble with up/down/curl/dump to through all those other options in.
I’ve got one video showing my main business An Inside Look at our Manufacturing Operation - How I Earn My Living czcams.com/video/qJnAMJr8EiE/video.html
Yea trailers like that are useless for equipment like ours. I hated mine. Get you a deckover they are so much better. I got a 24ft bumper pull one and never looked back
@@RockhillfarmYT Yea I hear ya on that. I welded a deck to set the rake on. It set on top of the railing and was held down by u bolts around the tubing. Towards the front of the trailer. And I put boxes underneath it and the trailer deck to hold chains and what not and set my attachments on top of it. Worked good. But my trailer was 24ft.
How deep do you think you could get with this? And do you think you could get it done with one pass? I've got about 30 acres of pasture with 100 years of gopher mounds on top of each other with grass growing up thru them. This looks awesome for it but also super slow.
Setting it over from the side would take twice as long and my trailer is not that long. With the Harley rake on the front there is no way I can get the weight of the skid steer properly centered on the axles. You’re over complicating this. I just drove on and it worked fine
My thought when I went out to load the skid steer was that I might have to set it on the front with straps and then I found a much simpler way to do it it didn’t have me wasting time
@@RockhillfarmYT I've seen guys do it all the time. You take more time setting up your camera then to load up and head off. No prob, I'll boost your algorithm and traffic 🤣🤪🤣

Set 2-3 pallets on your trailer. Rest the rake on the pallets above your side rails

Good suggestion
just make you a rack that spans across your trailer a shelf and then you can rest it on that while you transport it.
Sure wish I wouldn't have sold my power rake.
Very nice setup.
Thanks
Definitely handy

Thanks for the tip. I always set the parking brake although it is possible I could have forgot in this video
Time for that 102" flatbed gooseneck brother. 😎
Make sure to get the max ramps. Trust me on this.
I agree with the flat deck 100% but I think once he starts doing more public work a dump truck will take the place of the dodge and a gooseneck won't work
Thanks for the suggestions
It’s called ride control! At 8:15 mark
Good video Brock, that harley rake will be a very handy attachment.
Thanks
Nice job with it.

.... love the video!
Thanks
@@RockhillfarmYT great job!
A tip….always use it whilst driving forward.
Thanks for the tip
Wrong trailer at this point. Flat is best once heavy enough equipment is used
Right
Thanks for watching
Why did you buy a trailer with sides to haul equipment?
I’d have to agree that makes zero sense to me. My equipment trailer is open all around for loading and maneuvering.
New truck, new trailer, new equipment building and new skid loader in the last 6 months
With so much money going out, I went cheap on the trailer. I already regret it, but it is working for now
Why did you get a equipment trailer with rails anyway? I can’t think of a good reason especially hauling a skid loader.
I wonder if you took the trailer to a good fabrication shop if they could notch a section out so the harley rake would set flat or just cut the side rails off completely.
The way the trailer is built I don’t think I can remove the side rails because they are part of the structural support.

Thanks for the tip. I actually have a video just talking about that. I always do it, although I won’t rule out the possibility I forgot in the video…
I watched so many tractor Forum videos I couldn't remember if it was you or not that I've seen it on
I watch a lot of tractor videos myself.
Thank you for watching this one
Nice video!!! What do you think about Rotadairon RDH soil preparer to do this kind of job?
Use your parking break or chalk your trailer when loading & unloading your trailer or you will break the parking paw on your transmission some day
Thanks for the tip. I actually have a video just talking about that. I always do it, although I won’t rule out the possibility I forgot in the video…
Cut the side rails off , make some removable ones .

It is a 14,000 GVWR trailer
It does a nice job but waaaaaay too many buttons and gadgets and choices for me. I have enough trouble with up/down/curl/dump to through all those other options in.
Definitely a bit overwhelming the first time you sit down but it’s pretty intuitive

What's the max depth of the rake?
Good question. I’m not sure.
Why would you buy an equipment trailer, with side rails? Inexperienced.
Yea trailers like that are useless for equipment like ours. I hated mine. Get you a deckover they are so much better. I got a 24ft bumper pull one and never looked back
I need to, and I will at some point. Everything is just so expensive
@@RockhillfarmYT Yea I hear ya on that. I welded a deck to set the rake on. It set on top of the railing and was held down by u bolts around the tubing. Towards the front of the trailer. And I put boxes underneath it and the trailer deck to hold chains and what not and set my attachments on top of it. Worked good. But my trailer was 24ft.
Take a torch and cut the rails off. Problem solved
How deep do you think you could get with this? And do you think you could get it done with one pass? I've got about 30 acres of pasture with 100 years of gopher mounds on top of each other with grass growing up thru them. This looks awesome for it but also super slow.
Till it with a tractor first then harley rake it
More risk of damage to your truck by not putting it in neutral and applying the parking brake and or chalking the trailer
I do every time… I have a video just about that
2 actually

When dismounted that trailer was rocking pretty good. Thats why I said it... 👍
Is that an 84” rake?
Yes
Just put it over the side with a sling and be done already. Over complicating a simple way to haul it🤣🤪🤣
Setting it over from the side would take twice as long and my trailer is not that long. With the Harley rake on the front there is no way I can get the weight of the skid steer properly centered on the axles.
You’re over complicating this. I just drove on and it worked fine
