Fixing & Using the Cheapest Power Rake I could buy!! (ASMR?) 

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!

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..

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!

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.

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

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

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 ?

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.

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

@JohnnathanAB I’m no expert but I’ve got a lot of seat time learning what doesn’t work, lol

Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏼👍🏼

Hank so true man so true!!

Spray it with dawn soap and vinegar

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.)

Interesting 👍

Fascinating!

If he is in ny, any application commercially(and even free work counts as commercial) needs licensing. Even spraying salt water.

@@avlawns3037 He's in Western PA...

@@rickbaker4571 wasn't being facisous, just epa fines suck. And start at 5k.

@@avlawns3037 Then move. We came here to see Matt. Nobody, and I do mean nobody, gives 2 schits about you, where you live or what you do. Fugoff jagoff.

Prob because it breaks in the first two secs

RU-vid 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

Sure you aren’t the 60 year old disabled dude?

Good old Uncle Bumblefvck. Or as his friends call him, AvE

Lee Renraw, that’s an old Red Green saying, he’s an old Canadian that has a ton of those sayings. He used to sign off his tv show saying “Keep Your Stick on the Ice”. Another great say of his was “If the Women Don’t Find You Handsome, At Least They’ll Find You Handy” ! Lol

Crrrk crrrk...... PTANG!!

Winter's coming - and so is 5J1113 season. Can't wait for new D2 episodes.

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! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WdA7PWTZbU0.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.

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

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.

It’s almost like getting to 88mph with the flux capacitor engaged.

I ducked😳😏

It had me puckering ;)

I flinched when it went bang

Got a living room full of washers

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.

thanks professor

Agreed, waiting for the next COLDWARMOTORS video today! ✌🏻

Six year old Taiwanese kids don't weld. Period.

@@laoluu I bet Chinese kids do.

Unlike China, Taiwan doesn't believe that their people are inherently worthless beyond serving as robots for the government.

@@cybercommando3503 Do you think that Brandon will stand up for them, if China moves in?

I was going to ask if anyone else caught that

Is the lounge where you eat the babies? 🤔

Is there some kind of point to being in besides meeting people and making connections

@@MattyEngland lol, masons everywhere

And he found the perfect playground to play with his new tool!

Grey Beard, we always called it the School of Hard Knocks! I graduated from that school!

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.

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.

A good soak of the stubborn one over a day or two might have yielded results.

Yea, but those 6 year old Taiwanese kids weld those implements 12 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Unlike China, Taiwan doesn't believe that their people are inherently worthless beyond serving as robots for the government.

Look up Rock Rakes for clearing fields of rocks over 2 inches easy.

I also had to laugh when he launched the nut and top of the bolt into the overhead lol

I think he said 7 year old Taiwanese kid.
