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.

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.
