The video walks through why he chose the rake over a box blade, explains how the rake spins and filters rocks, and covers his three-pass technique, first leveling furrows, then breaking soil, then skimming rocks. Best for anyone considering renting rather than buying this attachment.
Adam is an owner-operator documenting ongoing land improvement projects at his own property on the Hometown Acres channel.
He says a box blade does not hold a candle to a power rake, calling one pass with the York rake enough to smooth things out nicely.
He rented it from Green Hill Farms for 75 dollars for the day, noting it would otherwise be a six or seven thousand dollar attachment to buy.
He made three passes: first leveling furrows, second breaking up soil three to four inches deep, third skimming rocks and root balls off the top.
It spins backward with a guard that keeps rocks from passing through, filtering dirt out the back while pulling rocks forward and to one side.
