Gauge Wheels

Caster gauge wheels are mounted on the rear of the frame to control the height of the roller during field operation.

Setting the Working Depth

The operating depth is controlled by the caster gauge wheels and not the tractor. The Powered Rake is equipped with C-spacers on the gauge wheel spindles so that the gauge wheels do not have to be removed for adjustment. Simply remove the spacers at the cut outs at the bottom of the gauge wheel spindles as shown in Figure 3-1. Move the gauge wheels up for greater depth or move them down for less depth. To allow for weight the gauge wheel on the chain case side should be approximately 1 inch lower than the non-drive side gauge wheel for best results.

Powered Rake Roller

The roller is powered by a roller chain attached to a sprocket mounted on a driveline that runs off the gearbox. A hydraulic cylinder angles the roller frame 20 degrees in either direction for windrowing material to the side. There are two roller options available. The scrolled roller is designed for hard rocky ground to scrape rocks out of the top few inches of dirt. The roller and material control deflector, screen the material for unwanted rocks and debris while letting through finely sifted dirt. The carbide enhanced tuff studs roller is for ground preparation. The tuff studs roller can also be used to rip away low growing vegetation.

!CAUTION

BEFORE any maintenance is performed, lower the Powered Rake to the ground, stop tractor engine and remove the key. DO NOT attempt to make maintenance adjustments while tractor is running.

1.If the chain should become loose, either the spring on the idler arms or the chain needs to be replaced. See “Sprocket and Drive Chain Replacement” page 12.

End Plates

End plates are utilized to gather and keep rocks and debris in front of the roller to distribute the material to fill in low spots. End plates can be removed and stored on the unit for final grading as shown in Figure 3-2.

Material Control Deflector

Adjustment

A material control deflector is mounted above the roller so control can be established over both the size and shape of the materials being cleaned or raked. The gap between the material control deflector and the rake roller can be adjusted to widen or narrow the opening. A wider opening will allow more dirt and rock to pass through. A narrow opening will allow for finer raking.

The height of the material control deflector can be adjusted by loosening the bolts (A) and rotating the material control deflector (B) to desired height. Refer to Figure 3-3.
