The Ventrac Power Rake is designed for leveling rough ground, installing new yards, and removing surface rocks and debris. As demonstrated in this video, the power rake is being used to repair a gravel driveway that has deeply compacted gravel with large potholes. The Power Rake loosens the compacted material and brings it up to the surface, creating a fresh new look and filling in the potholes without the need to purchase a new layer of gravel, saving money and time.
The Power Rake pulverizes and refines the gravel surface with 72 carbide tips. The hydraulically powered rotor will freshen up gravel as it turns under the weeds and brings any compacted gravel to the surface. The material can be moved forward, backward, or to either side, and its compact design allows the operator to work in tight areas, around corners and edges.
The Power Rake excels at reviving gravel driveways that have become compacted and ruined by heavy traffic and winter conditions. One reason the Ventrac with Power Rake is perfect for this job is because of the tractor’s articulating and oscillating action combined with a light footprint.
This makes it the perfect choice for delicate surfaces that would be too disrupted by a skid steer or larger tractor. Power Rake has a working width of 54 inches and can angle left and right up to 18 degrees. Angling the rake allows for material like residual weeds and overgrowth to be moved off to the side for a smooth, clean finish, leaving the gravel behind. With the addition of dual wheels to the tractor, contractors can use this attachment on job sites with slopes up to 30 degrees.
