John Deere Worksite Pro PR72B Power RakePremium
🟢 Standard Flow
View on brandt.ca →
Overview
The PR72B is the most commonly spec'd power rake in John Deere's Worksite Pro line — a 72-inch width (81 inch total frame) that suits most mid-size and large-frame skid steers. Requires 13 GPM minimum, well within standard-flow range on nearly any skid steer sold in Canada. The bi-angular roller assembly can shift 20 degrees left or right via a 12V electric solenoid, letting operators push material to either side without repositioning. Carbide teeth on the roller dig in and pulverize rather than just dragging surface material. Used by Canadian landscapers for seedbed prep, lawn renovations, site development cleanup, and final grade before seeding.

Is This Right For You?
✅ Buy if…
- You prep lawns, subdivision lots, or acreage for seeding — power rakes clear debris and till in one pass
- Spring cleanup or post-construction site restoration is a regular part of your work
- You need to remove rocks, sticks, and surface debris while grading to a final seed-ready surface
⛔ Skip if…
- Heavy clay, packed gravel, or compacted subsoil is your main challenge — a soil conditioner tills deeper
- You're doing large-scale tillage — a rototiller covers more depth per pass on agricultural ground
🔍 Also consider…
- Soil conditioner for deeper tilling on compacted or clay-heavy ground
- Landscape rake for light debris cleanup without tine-tilling
🔧 Machine Compatibility
Compatible with all skid steer brands and compact track loaders via universal SSQA quick attach. Mid to large-frame machines (S450–S750 class) are the best fit for this width.

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
