I have discovered that while I enjoy your content, I stay for your personality and can-do attitude! Your dry sense of humor, your ability to explain what you are doing and why, and even your admission of "this is the first time I've ever tried this"... and yet you put it out here so that we can see how well you do! Keep up the good work!
T
This +1
Thank you!!!
Jep definitly. I came in for the recoveries at first, but that gets boring after a couple of videos. But I noticed this guy does really nice videos and I also like your attitude a lot.
Ditto this!
put the boom in float and use the curl to adjust the depth of cut, you want it to ride on the front castor wheels. run the drum rotation against the direction of travel, that way you get a big mass of material moving with you that will fill in and level all the low spots.
Yes, it's a little bit like plowing I imaging👍
If you don't have boom float you may have bucket float it works almost as well
im glad you explained this saved me the time of typing it but you are exactly right
That's good advice
Well said.. on the button… easy to bend the shafts on the front Jockey wheels..
If you're ever after welding any component on a cylinder, try hanging the rest of the cylinder in a bucket of water to keep the heat away from any seals or distorting areas on the cylinder. Not always necessary, but could save a fella some extra work in some instances
Never thought about that, great idea
Also, extend the rod end so the heat is not as close to the inner seals. Dont forget to cover the rod chome
and dont shut the pipe conectors. so if anything heats up and expands it can evaporate and not explode into your face.
Matt I just want to say that I give you a lot of respect for showing everyone your thought process, you're learning process and even your mistakes. There's so much that can be learned from the entire experience that most people just edit out. I love your content please keep it coming
I just want to say, you have some of the best intros on all of CZcams
That’s one heck of a complement! Thanks!!
@@DieselCreek Andrew camarata has a video of him renting one of these attachment for a job.
@@GaHullbillyRanch In Andrew’s video that I saw, he was using a landscape rake, not a rock rake. The difference being that a landscape rake has an area where you can collect rocks (or whatever debris) and go dump it somewhere else. Whereas a rock rake, like is used in this video, does not have an option to collect anything. Also, rock rakes pivot, but landscape rakes don’t. Similar idea to how some skid steer brooms allow you to collect debris and other brooms only allow you to move/push debris.
@@ClinttheGreat yeah we call those things rock hounds here where I live. Not sure if it’s a brand name or not
You Matt are the interpretation of the saying "I don't know what I'm doing but I'm sure as hell going to try my best"
Fake it till ya make it!
@@DieselCreek nah you made it for sure, the determination and the sheer willpower is th difference that makes a idea become reality, and you sir have masters it, piece by piece you are simply adding to your skills and I can only respect that as much as I am or else I'd join ya lol
Give Dirt Perfect Mike Simon's a shout since he is a pro at the use of a power take.
@@DieselCreek i thought it was break it lol
I've found that a float function really helps keep it from gouging too deep. But best advice from me is just experimenting and a good steady hand for when the terrain changes.
Keep up the good work!
When you decided to leave the pin in there,I could hear Derek from Vice Grip Garage saying,"I'm gonna do the right thing and just pretend I didn't see that." You did a great job with that rake.
After about 30 years in the construction industry I would have to say that the one accessory that has impressed me the most is the power rake. Nothing I’ve ever used will turn a lumpy site into a smooth finish faster than the power rake. You will never regret that purchase!
Dan nice job
The early pioneers used a large length of timber with wooden knob spikes and real horse power lol , to smooth out a farm or road area.
I have a rake from abi attachment called an sr3 and love it.
If you've ever used the Bobcat Rock-Hounder, it's amazing too!
I rented a power rake and dragged in behind my small Kubota. There was a blade behind the drum that in conjunction with the castor wheels and height adjustment from 3 pt high attachment arms that allowed leveling function to work, I haven't run this attachedvto the front of a skid steer but looked like Matt's unit was not able to grade at all because of the wheels behind bent and crooked blade? He used this to "roto till" thevgravel and switched attachments to grade back blading with the bucket. It came out okay but if the rake worked as intended I don't think he would have needed all that bucket grading. What do the guys running this think ?
Make sure you clean your gear off when you load out; You don't want even a little bit of that Knotweed coming home with you. From what I understand it will root and grow from even little cuttings, and it can grow right through concrete pads and masonry walls.
I did but I actually already have it growing on the creek banks at the farm
@@DieselCreek welp. Looks like there’s a “kill it all with fire” video in the future lol
@@DieselCreek p
@@DieselCreek if you use used oil on its roots with a brush it will die.
@@thJune That's a really good idea!
Being able to acquire the funds to purchase a heavy duty machine just got way easy, with the right steps followed, I bet you in less than 2 months.
The new way is farming digitally
@@victorialopez1021 That's very true!
I would like to start farming digitally, how can I go about it?
been farming digitally for a long time now, and I can not dispute it's profitability
Instead of harvesting, it is called claiming. Your digitally harvested products are sold digitally and all you do is claim the rewards, technology has changed mankind forever
You know Matt, I’ve watched other videos of people doing what you do. But know one is able to do what you do. You bring an adventure/entertainment factor into your videos. I really enjoy watching you! Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you for thinking of us, Matt, and sharing a video of this project!
Ah another quality Kroil Creek repair.
He gets $0.68 for every mention!
@@gwpsr58 your estimation is a little high lol
@@DieselCreek lol
Put some grease or anti seizure on all bolts
That's funny, but seriously I use that stuff daily.
I discovered and subscribed to this channel this week. I enjoyed what you are doing and you reminded me of my late step-father (compliments). He was a heavy equipment mechanic who came up with ideas like you. He was assigned to put back a locomotive at the naval base with no experience but using an O & M Manual. We are talking parts all over the yard. He and another mechanic did the job. The Naval Base received a new generator and it wouldn't put out. After getting the Factory Rep out and he couldn't fix it, they asked my step-father to take a look at it. He pulled out the O & M manual, made some adjustments and it worked. They asked him what is it he did. He said "read the manual". They wound up getting the base commander involved before he would tell them. That's his sense of humor. He is also like you, if he can avoid buying something new, he would make it. This only with a fourth grade education (in the thirties). He would have made a great engineer with "sense"
Thinking a Couple good loads of Gravel would be a good idea too. Spread it over the low spots in the middle where pot holes were, and perhaps bit up front. but that could wait until end of project.
If you can, bring us back after a couple of good soaking rains so we can see how that helps (or at least, affected) the gravel after the power rake
Sometimes you just gotta go out there and make mistakes, learn and perfect. Thanks for sharing the power rake with us it's super cool and useful.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼👍🏼
Hank so true man so true!!
Spray it with dawn soap and vinegar
Matt your honesty and humble nature makes you a favorite on the innertube!!!
The world needs more people like you!!!
When I rented a Harley rake for my gravel paths (4 years ago?) I watched the Dirt Ninja's "how to" video. It was hard not to back drag the rake, but he said to only use it going forward. In the end I think I finally understood the machine. So the last two hundred yards looked great!!
Once you get the casters straight and adjusted you will have an easier time. I have owned and run a Harley M6 rake for almost 20 years. The way I use it I curl down until casters touch and then lower boom/ curl back until drum cuts the way I want. Then if you need to feather material I raise boom while traveling to taper off. I learned to listen for material hitting drum while raising at the end or beginning of pass. This helped me to get the feel for feathering it out. The flap above drum does exactly what you say it does. One thing I noticed is your tool didn’t have the end wings on it for carrying material. They may help and you can put them on the push or pull side of unit. Those rakes seem to cut hardest on the pull direction. Hell of a deal for what you paid
@JohnnathanAB
I’m no expert but I’ve got a lot of seat time learning what doesn’t work, lol
And my grandfather had a tool similar to that, except he had a small hook on the end of it, so we can pull caterpins out kenzo.Nice to see things don't change
Truly a standard Pennsylvania parking lot - more grass and potholes than gravel 😅. I love this kind of video, it's always very satisfying.
Half the things you do I really have no clue about. I'm just fascinated to see you being able to fix pretty much anything. An added bonus is you using all the cool machines you got. I can't say whether or not you're doing it correctly, but I can say you're entertaining and inspiring - so keep up the good work. 😃
"I've only seen short videos of people using this..." Hey, if ya' learnt it on youtube you're all good.
Prob because it breaks in the first two secs
CZcams has made getting advice from your Dad redundant
Always funny when people gripe about that as if "training videos" weren't already used by industry
Not always...lots of idiots... he is not 1
I really enjoy your videos quite a bit. Watching you run the equipment, you're like a surgeon! Even when you're not sure of what your doing you still do an amazing job! Thanks Matt! Can't wait till the next one!!
Matt I just watched this on the Roku (52 inch TV is a hell of alot better than a 12 inch laptop) YOU need to get a Palm Sander and an assortment of waterproof sandpaper, 80 grit to 800 and a handful of flapper wheels. this would have taken care of the hydraulic piston pin that siezed up on you (Ive used mine with 400,600 and 800 wet to restore fogged car headlights to clear in less time than the restoration kits take). this would also restore the handles on the crane controls on the crane truck, after polishing them down, fill the markings with high end (holds up to swimming pool water) Finger nail polish. White is the typical color. then throw some clearkote over the handles. Dont saturate it, light coats, let it dry and do it again. and repeat... until you are satisfied. And keep up the good work. I just wish you were in Wisconsin!
Not too long ago, local business' would donate time and $$ to get these community projects done. Now corporations don't, because they spend their $$ and time on advertising telling everyone how good spirited and community minded they are. Well done Matt, your community needs you.
Not to mention PSA's advocating having a family evacuation plan, made by the utility company that caused the last few evacuations (gas explosions and electrical fires.)
This disabled 60 year old disabled dude has learned so much from you. My chief babysitter is A pretty good wrench. I can understand more what he’s doing. He was my renters brother.
Sure you aren’t the 60 year old disabled dude?
A guy that did my yard after a building I put up. Had one of those rakes with a feature that worked like a golf ball collector that collected bigger rocks and then can be dumped elsewhere.
As always Matt give it a try with the knowledge you have and learn along the way and take the advice of those who know what there talking about. All in all that parking lot is so much improved
It now looks like someone cares about it and is more functionable and a great way to try out your new tool, I'm sure the next round of repairs to the rake will help no end. Love watching you turn cheaper equipment back to full function again.
Watched you weld the first bolt on the cylinder pin , and saw you grounded the welding lead to the bolt . That was smart , so the weld was concentrated on the end of the pin . The other pin for the pivot was not grounded that way , and my thought is it had to ground through the pivot pin . That probably did a good job of welding the pivot pin to the bore , and made it almost impossible to remove . We used to weld stuff on crankshafts, and the ground path was through the crank counter weight . If grounded through the block it would weld the bearing to the crank . Great Channel, love the content .
Interesting 👍
Fascinating!
Yes! Great start to a Saturday
The rake did a great job of bring the lot back to full capacity .
What I notice was how well the skid steer is working.
That purchase will turn out to be one of your best deals. It won't be too long before you be using the heater.
That lot is VASTLY improved. I will be interested in seeing the finial product after you are finished using the excavator on it.
You didn’t disappoint. As soon as I saw the broken cylinder I was screaming weld it up!
Hey Matt you need to let the front wheels hit the ground by tipping your bucket down and don't try to take it all in one pass. Dirt boss has some good videos on how run one and dirt perfect. They are both very good . Thank for the video.
Agree on allowing the idler wheels to cary the load and maintain levelness - but then you have this figured out by now. One important thing: KEEP THE DRUM BEARINGS GREASED - FREQUENTLY.
Did you not watch the video? The idler shafts are bent and cannot be adjusted, another future fix.
Yea, a lighter touch prevents pushing too much material to the sides and front of the rake. Though you probably worked that out within a time or two of working with it.
The rack drum rotation is reversible, the training wheels in front need to be fixed, they act as guides, watch this! From 5:50 onwards! czcams.com/video/WdA7PWTZbU0/video.html
All 3 pins need grease, machine a grease channel, leave a nut welded to the top of each pin, so can rotate every so often to spread the grease. I would drill and tap for a grease fitting on the frame.
"I got excuses for it, bu non of 'em are good"
Quote of the week LOL
Thanx Matt! :D
The Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy When Service Calls Longwood approved ! that was good info DC
I've always sprayed the area first - combination of white vinegar, any salt and a splash of dawn... cheapest weed/grass kill and it works. Then when you "groom" it doesn't grow back.
If he is in ny, any application commercially(and even free work counts as commercial) needs licensing. Even spraying salt water.

That is a really cool attachment! Amazing that it did what it did! I can see it being useful for so many things.
Nice job Matt. I'm sure the KofC really appreciate you helping them out. Hopefully they'll lead you to some good jobs. Thanks for posting.

Dirt Perfect has been demoing a Rukus Rake for a while (maybe he bought it finally?) but he just uses it at the very end to even out and put the finishing touch on his jobs. He powers around in that thing so fast it really doesn't get to do anything - then again he doesn't need it to do much.
It was cool seeing you really put it work and really tear in. I'd say you got a worth the money deal - looks like an incredibly useful and fun tool!
DP is using it to finish dirt projects, that doesnt take much with this machine. When using a power rake on tough and deeper soil and rocks like Matt is doing here, he is using it like i see others use it.
Dp demoed it and bought the ruckus rake
Howdyyawl from the land down under. Maintenance. Always has to be done. It makes it harder when you get a machine from someone who doesn't do much or any. You fix it up & keep it neat & Itll go for years. Keep up the good work.😊
Dope Intro Matt Love that Earth view and twist and boom your equipment 😮 0:01 @Diesel Creek
For some one that has never ran one of those power raked before I would say you did one heck of a job on that parking lot .👍
What a Saturday diesel creek and coldwar motors later on cheers and cold beers from the UK matt
Agreed, waiting for the next COLDWARMOTORS video today! ✌🏻

Awesome job there, Matt! Thanks for showing even your goof-ups; I have to admit, I re-played that minute where the bolt & washers went flying a couple of times LOL! :-D
The results with the rake are very impressive! The way you could effectively erase a pothole was eye opening. I think you did a great job regardless of inexperience. Looking forward to phase 3!
After all this time and watching your channel grow, you just keep getting better and better at this. The laughs, the knowledge, the uniqueness of projects, the realness...STILL one of my absolute favorite CZcams channels ever. Keep up the great work! Best wishes from Toppenish, Washington State! 😃🤘
Wooo! Thanks so much that means a lot!
A very useful tool for finishing. Great to add to your tool kit. Love the upgrades!
My Saturday morning DC, no better way to start my day. Thanks Matt.
That pin did come up a decent amount when you were using the slide hammer, but I think it came out of the bottom half joint. Love how you show your fails and trials, helps people learn a ton! Thank you
Full of admiration for the skills you have. Fix it not buy new. Nobody is laughing , if it is doing what you need it to do then you are doing it right. Thanks for the videos you are inspiring.
JKW is a nightmare stuff can grow through anything, if found around here{Hull, England), all the soil has to be treated. a local building company was demolishing a few streets to make way for a new estate and one of the truck brought in JKW, very expensive problem.they had to treat the whole area and was heavily monitored by the environment agency for a whole year. oh and also a huge fine .
another great vid as per Matt
in addition Mat clean every tiny speck of soil and root off your equipment that is all it takes to start a new infection.
What did they use to kill those weeds?
specialist companies, are brought in by the environmental agency, here in the uk
Does Roundup work against JKW or does it need something particular?
Small world also from Hull.
The reason gravel thrown into a compacted and water filled depression gets blown out is due to hydrostatic pressure. Water still underlies it and vehicles travelling over it transfers pressure to the water. As water is virtually incompressible it squirts out taking the loose gravel with it. Loosening and grading the whole surface prevents water pooling so it can drain effectively.
thanks professor
Awesome watching you figure it out..doing a great job at...funny never knew such a machine existed..truly look forward to seeing your videos fixing on this equipment...I had two uncle's that did the same thing...was always amazed at how they could fix things..keep up the great work 👍😁
My dad used to work for paladin, I used to run machines like this when I was about 14 or so, and from what I’m seeing you’re doing great! Just keep in mind that after a few rains the gravel will look way better. Just make sure to keep the machine oiled and lubed up, and it’ll last you a while.
You did good at 3K for the rake , I also have been watching auctions for at least 2 years now and haven't seen one go for under 5K . As far as operations goes , now this is what I observed watching CZcams vids is that when guys use them they have down pressure on the front bogies and you can see they actually have the front idlers just off the ground and use the bucket tilt on the loader to adjust depth of cut , Kind of of like using a grader blade . You look like your using the loader arm lit to adjust depth of cut , I know those bogies don't look like they can carry the weight but they do . You should have brought some road cones with you , I use them to mark areas like where the drains are so I can see them from the machine . To bad the bank isn't less of a slope so they can maintain it , probable will grow back to where it was before you started . It would be nice if those rakes had a tilt function so you could crown a road or cut a swale from around those drains
I totally agree... Great work tho Matt
I would have thought you put the arms in float and have the rake resting/rolling on the dolly wheels and use the tilt to adjust the depth of cut. That way it’ll only cut the top and you can make a second pass to go a bit deeper if you like. Am I wrong thinking this?
Exactly what william said. Well put.
As a 3rd degree knight for the last 30 years I hope the council appreciate all your work and your money is no good in the lounge for awhile

@@MattyEngland lol, masons everywhere
Matt, here in Australia we have an old adage, “quitters never win and winners never quit” and you my boy exemplify that more than anyone I know. I think that the folks who wait and watch your videos only ever wish the best for you so I suspect that we all want you to succeed at everything you do and it would be foolish of us to think anything other than positive and respectful thoughts. At $3k I think you got a bargain, the fix was well done and I reckon if you sprayed that jungle juice you use to loosen things up then eventually it will come free. Man that bolt really let go didn’t it. Matt, I really like your videos and really appreciate you as a person so always go hard my friend. Cheers till next week
Amazing job and amazing give back to the community - what a gift!.... Well done and I'm sure this will inspire others!
Love that Enerpac! What a great way to remove pins that are stuck in place! Thanks for posting! Another great video!!
I'm no expert but that looks pretty damn good.
Hey Matt, one thing I always want to know but is extremely tough to tell from watching the videos is how much time this took you in terms of work. It looked like several different days but a rollup of how many hours even if not exact would be very useful. Great content as usual.
51:07
Very cool video Matt. Can’t wait for phase 3 of this project. Also you have the best intro and I like the ending when you put the camera recording leaving the job hauling your equipment away.
"if a six year old in a Taiwanese factory welded this in the first place, I bet I can do it in the garage" 😂😂😂

And he found the perfect playground to play with his new tool!
You would be one of the coolest people to hang around with ur always getting stuff done not quitting and coming up with solutions for everything good job bud
Great seeing you again Matt. Think all in all, you did a great job on the Phase two on that parking lot, and the attachment worked really well, and did what it needed to do. Waiting to see Phase three when you can take out those now very dead trees..thanks for sharing.
A job well done, Matt! You make it look "easy", the parking lot looks great. That power rake is a good investment for sure. 👍👍👏👏
Hey brother, love your content. Two things, you should have extended the cylinder rod away from the weld area so your piston seals don't het damage with the heat, also leave the fittings open so it don't build internal pressure that could cause pin holes on your weld. Just an observation.
Ditto for everything you do! Your can do attitude, professionalism & positive attitude. You make the whole process so enjoyable & make me wish that I had gone mechanical when I was learning a trade. Great job WELL DONE!
Nature is such an incredible thing. It’s amazing to see how things can be transferred from a once nice parking lot into nature taking it back.
As the saying goes - The best teacher is the job itself - so you're doing great! :))

Where’s Stan the Dirt Monkey when ya need him Matt? He’s a master at the power rake. I love how you don’t worry about having everything perfect before you try something. You simply do and learn as you go.
That guy is a goof in my opinion.
@@BRadWilson3 Your humble opinion is pretty much my opinion.
That guy has some odd work ethics. I'm not too sure he's a master at anything, let alone a power rake.
@@bruceleealmighty look, I don’t know the fella…..I do know he’s got about 10 or more videos outlining power rakes and how they can be used to grade land….so he may or may not be whatever anyone says, but I’m pretty sure he knows his way around a power rake based on his many videos on the topic.
@@htownblue11 His advice is eclectic at best. Down right ignorant at worst, but he gets things done with personality and enthusiasm. Traits that are often necessary for a successful business. It's just that he often doesn't follow protocols and standards that he himself suggest everyone else to do, perhaps it's some sort of disclaimer thing. I'm just tired of being taught by those that say do as I say not as I do. His last video on the rake was proportioned out for blaming others on wasting time, when it was his time that 'he' wasted all along. For a guy that has a diverse crew, he sure seems to take on tasks that can be delegated if he is actually concerned with his person work time. I could go on. It's just that he takes himself too serious and blames others too easily. Admittedly has some unique insights to his particular niche, I just got turned off by some of his practices. Have no idea how the guy is personally so my comments possibly have little to no value in many circles. Just that I wouldn't tout the guy as a tower of knowledge on practically any subject. You might get burned.
The power rake is a fantastic piece of equipment to have in the line up. They are perfect for freshening up a gravel drive and allow the smaller grains to drop lower and pack in again. A quick power rake job on a gravel drive and a medium speed vibratory roller treatment is a great way to get it flat again and get rid of puddles. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Really liking your videos. You did a great job with the power rake. I will be looking into all these implements once I get my track loader. Keep up the great work. I will check out more of your videos for sure!
I LOVE my Diesel Creek!! I cant wait to get home from work to see if you have a new video posted!! And yes, I check everyday :-) I love your "Lets see what happens if I ,,,,,,,,," attitude!
I do the same thing when I make quilts!
In hindsight heating up around that stuck pin probably would have been a good idea.
He needs to get the remains of the sheared bolt out first. Once this is done, he'll be able to remove the pin. There is a really nice 20t 3 claw industrial grade hydraulic puller he can use to press the pin out. This works on the same principle as a hydraulic bottle jack.
Wow that thing does a pretty good job
Hi Matt, love your channel and your approach to the numerous repairs you have shown. I will have to say I was somewhat surprised when attempting to remove the main pin on your power rake you didn't apply heat to the outside of the housing causing it to expand and possibly free the pin up. Applying has worked wonders for me many times over. Keep up the great work.I look forward to seeing many more clips.
I'd like to have a one tenth of your talent Matt. You really did a good job on that parking lot. And, all the cutting and cleaning you did earlier, it looks like a whole different location. Nice work buddy.
Just a tip. It sounds like you need just a touch more amperage on the mig. Or a little less wire speed. It will come out much better. Good fix man.
Looks to me like you figured out how to use it pretty damn good. I wish I would have had that unit when I grew up on the farm.
Another cool video, Matt. Thanks for sharing with us. Never forget, we ALL are learners at everything we do. Practice makes perfect, young man, for a first try, you done good !!
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent, One beautiful job from a great artist
Looks good ! Made me laugh when you cleaned the top of the curbs length wise ! 👍🏻👀
Another "tool" I'd never heard of before, like the bush hog. Both are beasts at what they do! All the more reason for you to love them, Matt! 👍🤣
