Tilling a Yard with the T66 and Harley Rake 

Your dealer did you a solid on that attachment. Having great relationships with other businesses pays off

*It'd be great to see a follow-up video on it next year when the grass is in and all the landscape is complete.*

I used to own my own bobcat. Rented one of these to finish reshaping my yard. A year later, had a lot of compliments that my yard looked like I laid green carpet because it was so smooth. Really enjoyed using the lawn rake.

Nice job separating the stuff you pushed back. Seen so many times people cram it in a big pile and walk away.

You make me tired just watching your videos. Enjoy your youth, strength and energy because when you get old it goes away. No matter how much you want it back it's gone forever. So, I'll just enjoy other young folks being young and healthy. The yard looks great.

The tilling and Harley rake attachments are new to me. They're sure "slick". Very impressed with what they can do. Quite a satisfying video. God bless.

What a mess of a yard, very nice job cleaning it up.

Wicked nice. The place is transformed!

Excellent work, great video. It makes me want to play in the dirt even more, it’s so much more fun when you have big people toys.

What a difference between before and after, great job!

Very interesting video I was enjoying every second of it watched it all the way through nice work buddy you did excellent....😁👍

We use a similar process for seed/sod prep. Harley Rake/Soil Conditioner first for the larger rocks/roots, followed by the FFC Preparator. We've use the landscape rake attachment before both work great for finish raking.

You had me at "bit of a mess" and "till it all up"! Very satisfying vid! Keep it up!

_"eh ... just push it to the back"_ Famous words said by every homeowner ever, since the caveman!

The harley rake on the front end of a skid steer is the jam.

Boy that place was a mess. Looked a lot better when you were done.

Brilliant work! this is a huge job!

The owner had some nice trees and plants. When everything grows in , it will be beautiful. And of course your work was awesome. Didn't look like the same property.

Fantastic job, and what a workhorse that Bobcat is!

You need to add a grapple or grapple bucket to your attachments. It will save you so much time you will be amazed. We bought one of the rock-rake grapple buckets and it works so much faster when dealing with old yards like this where there is all kinds of rock, concrete, bricks etc. laying around. Cuts prep time before power raking by at least 4x.

Absolutely perfect! Beautiful job.

Great job my friend. I enjoy the videos. It looks like your stable of equipment is growing quickly. Good for you man.

Great transformation, looked like a reasonably fun project.

I picked up my T66 in January. I'm not a contractor and its the first time I have ever operated anything like that before. I use it to maintain my two campgrounds along with my personal property. I absolutely love it! I have been wanting to get one of these power rakes for a while now to do exactly what you are doing right now.

Looks great - nice work!

What a transformation. Great job.

Coolest item I’ve seen yet on your projects. Thanks for the vid 😁

Pretty impressed with the job you did.

Pretty darn good machine operator. Keep up the good work.

This machine is incredible and so strong.

Beautiful job.

Looks amazing, when that grass grows in it’s going to look really good

Wow. What a difference!

Nice work on the property.

Brilliant job buddy..

Good job done over all!

U made a brilliant job on that

Looks good. That rake is awesome it going to be a nice yard

Great job!! Landscape rake is awesome!!

I bet you when the yard was taken care of that was probably a pretty yard overgrown now needs to be trimmed back, reminds me of my dad yard

Nice job!!!

That skid steer can work like a mini bulldozer.

If you have two machines and two operators, use the mini as the broom and the bobcat as the dust pan ...... works very well and fast.

Guys from the countryside are better, more fun, better company. Atte, a New Yorker.

Nice job chum. Don't mind me and my cranky old ways and comments.

A super job!

Would love to see what that yard looks like now, after the owners have replanted and new lawn

Hopefully they maintain the property and don't let it turn into a jungle like it was before

Nice job, beautiful

He knows what he is doing excellent grading job.

Great job , looks good. And by the way I have busted my share of hydraulic fittings

looks great, good job

There is all kinds of stuff in that yard. what a mess. Thank you for making it better back there.

I. know some people want to be like andrew camarata but andrew got the work touch people like when it came to work. His the best ... But u guy's are trying and put out good video's 2👍👍👍👍

I recommend getting a 3-way bucket then yal really have fun as well as makes life easier

Amazing video. Andrew Camarta style.

This what my yard needs a whole make over but I don’t have that money to do this 😅😅

Don't why topsoil was needed, that was raking up nicely. So what will the owner do for vermin - rabbits, moles, badgers, mice! Bain of my life and no stock control fencing for deer. Love to see how it looks now. Machinery performed well, no question and a great video. Now the work begins with tree management and that lawn mower!

Enjoyed the video I just ordered a skid steer with a power rake

Looks good but was it a good idea to bury all that brush?? When it decays you’ll have quite a bit of settling.

Please bring us back to see what it looks like finished. Please, I wld love to see it.

Impressive! thank you!

Going big time now. Surprised he didn’t have you do the irrigation system and seeding. But then you would need more attachments, LOL.

Could you go back and film a brirf update, to show how the grass came in since?

Nice work.

Bro you did an awesome job on that property. The grading cld have been better, but good job on the property.

Stick to only going forward with the harley rake and it will be much better. Good work.

I'd take that landscape rake back to Bobcat and have them put 45° or 90° elbows on those motor hoses and clock them to where there's zero bind on the crimp fittings. I realize they helped you out with a generous discount on that attachment, but those should have been engineered better. Way too much bind on those fits by using straight couplers even with no pressure in them.

Amazing video

Отличная работа!👍

just stumbled upon your channel--noticed the NH plate on the trailer--i live in the great north woods myself.

Site should have been sprayed with pre emergence, mowed and cleaned up before that machine was ever on site. Not the way we would do it. Stumper bucket and bucket with teeth needed.

Nice ferns and firewood there. Were you able to work over the septic drain field?

But the yard looks a 100% better already

Cool video, but I would have cleaned the debris up and hauled it out. Then brush-hogged everything, then raked or tilled it, then leveled. Long grass and brush is hard to deal with while trying to grade.

Great video. I'm really impressed with how well the rake worked in those weeds. Did you find yourself angling it much? I'm thinking about trying to build a power rake and am wondering if it's worth it to make it angle or if I should just keep it straight.

did you find yourself tilling up NY areas with roots? I am grading a property with a bunch of roots from pine trees scattered on the property and as soon as I starter grading, I started exposing all of these roots. I was wondering if this would help fix some of that problem by maybe tilling them up.

Cut up the wood and have fires or sell it to someone that would use it…. Don’t just let it rot away… my uncle had his woods cleaned up by the local saw mill…. For a price…. Lots of work he did not need to pay to have done but got paid for it… that’s smart business….

I call it a rock hound there amazing

Should of stuck with the harley rake and used your rock hound for picking up the piles after. Would of turned out alot leveler. Lot of work there tho. You did good.

does your t66 come with a spoon engine and a motec system exhaust?

Nice work, it really looks great! When doing jobs how far are you willing to travel?

how does the rake deal with rocky soil

Do you find the t66 to be to heavy in the rear of the machine? I rented one and it didn’t have the counterweights and it seemed way too heavy in the rear end of the machine with a bucket on

Nice work bro! Is that a snake a 49:26+ in the lower left?

Where’s the after? Good work tho! How big was the yard and what’s the price on a yard that size?

You need to invest in a rock bucket so you can pick up those kind of rocks

Great video. That is a lot of work.... I have a large yard project that will be about 3 acres of that with pinky sized popple trees to be ground down also. That and sticker bushes. That is how I found your video which is very educational and I know that is a lot of work to go over and over again. If you wouldn't mind I was curious of about how much you would charge someone to go in particularly pick out all the garbage weeds out of their yard bring in black dirt and grade it all to perfection like you did. If I had to guess, I am on the cheap side and do stuff like that by myself I would guess at least $10,000. Am I in the ballpark? It could even be more in my opinion. What a great job you did on their yard 👍 and that big tree that was laying there somebody would probably come and take that for free for firewood. And I see you did not go around their septic tank with the Harley rake and I'm not seeing any clean out pipes or drain field. I'm sure it is all gravity fed drain field since it is going downhill.

What did something like this cost?

Oh and instead of digging those big rocks up I would have the 3 to 4 foothills and put the rocks in them and cover them app cause what you're gonna do with all those big rocks

Will this kill all the old grass and weeds so you can restart

So I’m an excavation contractor, and I have a question about Harley rakes. If your churning up/grinding up all the sod, weeds, debris, and smoothing it out….won’t the land grow back what you just pulverized, specifically all the weeds, crab grass, dandelions, clovers etc?

Have you looked into the ABI SR3? It is a wonderful on job sites like these!

Whats the range from a cost standpoint to do a job like this?

Why did you top it off with topsoil? Was your soil not any good? Just Looking for thoughts. Im going to do this with my yard as well. Did you hydro seed or?

How do you price your power raking jobs? I've experimented with both day-rate and per-sqft pricing. Haven't really found a good formula yet.

How deep can you till with that Harley rake?

Swap out that straight connectors with 90s

So is that like giant rototiller?

Looks really good!!! How long did that project take you?
