Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You're breaking up compacted gravel roads, hardpan, or packed aggregate before regrading
- Your site has frost-heaved or rutted surfaces that need aggressive tine action before re-spreading
- You need to loosen material before a final grading pass — scarifiers prep the surface efficiently
⛔ Skip if…
- You're finishing a prepared seedbed — a standard power rake with finer tines does that job better
- Your soil is already loose — scarifier tines dig too aggressively and will over-till
🔍 Also consider…
- Standard power rake for final seedbed prep and debris removal
- Landplane for final levelling after scarifying
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Designed for Bobcat machines but mounts to any skid steer or CTL with a universal SSQA quick-attach plate.

Care & Maintenance
- Inspect rotor teeth after each use — chipped or missing carbide dramatically reduces grading quality and throws the rotor off balance
- Grease rotor shaft bearing housings at each end after every 8 hours of use — most premature bearing failures trace back to insufficient lubrication intervals
- Clean packed soil from rotor teeth and the housing after every job — built-up soil throws the rotor out of balance and restricts rotation
- Replace worn teeth in matched sets — mixing old and new teeth across the rotor causes uneven cutting and vibration that stresses the drive
- Inspect hydraulic motor drive connections and belt tension (if belt-driven) weekly during active season
How to Connect
- Attach frame using Bob-Tach
- Connect hydraulic rotor circuit
- Adjust rotor depth by lowering carefully — engage at surface before penetrating soil
- Set material deflector angle if applicable
⚠ Safety NotePower rakes are standard-flow on most models. Excellent for seedbed prep and spring field work.
