Hi, Hebbronville Machine Shop. It appears to be a good solid build and thanks for sharing the video. Having used a few rakes on various machines over the last 50+ years, I would suggest that your rake could use a little more forward angle on the teeth to help lift the collected sticks, etc., out of the dirt. The rake in this video has good forward rake on the teeth but a little too much forward sweep on the wings, at least in my humble opinion. But what would I know? I'm 'justa pore, dumm bulldozer op'rator'. Just my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Thanks for commenting and sharing your opinion. This was built to the liking of the customer , everything we build is custom to each person. You know how it goes I’m sure , everyone thinks their way is the right way so we just built it the way they want.
Hi, @@hebbronvillemachineshop7763. Makes sense to me. 'Rool' 1. The customer is always right. 'Rool' 2. When the customer is wrong - see 'Rool' 1. Just my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Great job and you even left that heavy blade off those j d s are known for track problems less weight t.he better. A little over kill but build what they want

I have also noticed that styles change from region to region. This is a very traditional South Texas style piece of equipment.

Would filling the piece with concrete do any good? Just wondering. Love the videos, keep them coming
What would that do?
