With no moving parts, maintenance will always be better. The power rakes are really good at removing rocks and other debry though. They just do it faster is all.

And by doing it faster I would benefit how? Let's see....less seat time...NO that's not a good thing....less time in the field..hmmmNo that's no good......Hmmmmmmmmm...inasmuch as I don't do this for a living, where operating the tractor has become work, I cant see any reason for a power rake.

I can...............if you are charging or being charged by the hour for its use; makes a big difference. Time is money. For personal use the pulverizer would be fine.

The tractor is on the trailer,in the yard, with the pulverizer on the back. I took a few shots to post here. Yesterday I used it all day, first at my farm to flatten some spots I filled, then on a site job. My customer built a new garage and I did finish work around it. The job came out nice and the customer is happy.

Not always better or faster. The pulverizer works better if there are goober size rocks because if pops them up and carries them along. Also desods and rips out medium size tree roots real nicely. I find that after using mine for a few years I can pile debris on both ends of an area and pick it up with my clam quite well. On the job site yesterday the guy had hard fill from a road project brought in and there were a lot of bricks and broken concrete coming through at grade. The pulverizer removed this stuff and did not make holes, it tends to pull dirt with it and drops it in the dents as you go. With a power rake it windrows the debris and it there is a lot you have to remove it before you can work the next row. Overall pulverizer is more forgiving then a power rake. I will say that if new top is dropped on the site and it is clean a power rake is real nice.

I will definitely keep that in mind Slip. I have been eyeing something like this for a good while (no serious intentions as just yet but looking). It is great info. to get feedback and evaluation from someone who actually owns and uses the equipment. Your comments and observations are VERY helpful. Thanks Slip!

Great commentary slip...very informative
