Run lower RPM on the PTO, go slower speed with tractor, make TWO light passes, you'll get better results. About 10 feet before end of the row start slowly lifting the implement up off the ground (very slowly) and you'll drop the dirt and carry only the trash to the end. Pre-plan where you're going to rake your trash to and end up with 1 or 2 piles instead of 20 and you'll save time. Make sure the tires to the 3-point hitch is the 2 spots taking all the weight, while keeping the drum suspended off the ground, or you will end up digging too deep and creating bumps. It took me years to finesse a power rake. Most videos on UA-cam show people burying the drum and everything (dirt and rocks and sticks) is flying and going over the drum leaving a mess. If you lightly rake as I mentioned above, you'll carry only the trash. Go slow, less PTO RPM, and make two light passes and you'll be amazed.
that attachment works great on fixing gravel driveways also.
Best attachment out there for grading which has replaced the old gill pulverizer.

Power rake on my list!
The drum is going forward or bachwards ?
Can you do a video on a brush hog and a backhoe on a 2501?
So a power rake was used on a field with no rocks??? Hmmm…
How much does one cost?
They're around $10,000. I own one, and operate out of RI. If you are nearby and need any services, keep me in mind.
Horse power of your tractor?
