Rough Grading with a Standard Duty Grapple/Root Rake

[@charolpihlman2558]

I loved this video! I always enjoy watching.

Harley rake and landscape rake for this one.

Show em’ how it’s done Honeycutt😛!! Accidentally stumbled across you and had to stop & say Hi 👋 of course! Hope you are doing well old friend!

Nice job and use of the grapple. Had my 190T for a year now and have not used my tractor once during that time.

[@honeycuttsbrushmore3244]

Does the bucket on the 190T list down when on a load. Mine seems to have that problem.

[@TimothyHuntC]

Is the question does the bucket not maintain under heavy load. If I have the bucket and arm raised and leave it at some height it will very slowly drop lower over some time. Not sure if idling it up would stop that. You can hear a loud metallic sound each time it drops

That whole landscape looks and probably is compacted. I’d run a bulldozer with a ripper attachment on it to open up the land and let the rain leach deep into the soil.

Very Nice Job it Looks so Nice!!!

[@barrymcfeat5141]

Nice job on the raking and leveling! However, I thought you were going to “root grapple”? Any roots down there are still there :-). IMO you could have achieved same results with a box blade, a front bucket or rear blade?…… Perhaps a few other attachments also? Don’t mean to be critical but wanted to see if my new “root grapple” could do just that, or only brambles!.! Baz.

Awesome video man, I just found your channel and liked it. I was wondering how one of those harley rakes would work in that situation?

[@honeycuttsbrushmore3244]

I think the harley rake would be great for the final grade. If they weren't so expensive I would have one already. I've been using just this for a few months now and it works for what I'm doing. Maybe I can afford one soon! Thanks for watching!

[@danielmeyer403]

I was just going to say that the harley rake would be the bomb for that job. @@honeycuttsbrushmore3244

[@davidchappelle6480]

i use my tractor with a rake on the back an my grapple on the front for a job like that..

[@honeycuttsbrushmore3244]

I agree, that would make quick work too. The owner wanted the mulcher just in case there was a larger stump to cut through they missed. There is always more than one way to do it. Thanks for the comment.

[@davidchappelle6480]

I wasn being mean or anything with my comment...I Didn't think about any stumps...we have land clearing people here that miss them too.. all I do is rake the property out after..all I have is the tractor..

[@davidchappelle6480]

@@honeycuttsbrushmore3244 You rite ! I have run into stumps others forgot.. bout pulled the rear end off my tractor!! 😡

[@laurelherbert2879]

Need to get yourself a ruckus rake or a Harley rake

[@honeycuttsbrushmore3244]

Totally agree. When I get the funds I definitely will.

[@kingdavid3318]

Cow much did you charge?

[@honeycuttsbrushmore3244]

I can’t remember the price off hand but I would say that it was about $600
