Thanks Tim. I bought my Harley rake earlier this summer. You are correct regarding the cost vs a tiller. I am still learning on how to use it most effectively. Sometimes my rear wheels are off the ground as my hitch it too low. I need more practice I guess. Keep up the good work. GOD bless.
Glad to see you get a power rake for the tractor. I ran one behind a tractor for 9 years. I preferred it over the skid steer power rake. With more practice, the only raking needed will be done is on the edges. Also a benefit not mentioned but seen, is the capability to angle. This helps moves dirt around and windrow rocks and trash. Great video.
I’m amazed how well the 1025r handled that power rake. I’d love to see a video on how you set that up to the tractor. I’ve been adding lots of dirt and leveling my yard but all I have is the box blade which works pretty well.
Just picked up a tiller 2 weeks ago, wish I had procrastinated a bit longer and saw this first. Power rake probably would have been better suited for what I needed. Such is life.
Hey Tim, software engineer here too. Been watching your videos and got my first tractor today. When with the 1023e with the 120r loader. We're only on 4 acres but I have a lot of jobs lined up for it. Thanks for all your videos.
Congratulations! You will love the stress relief! With software it is hard to see and appreciate your progress. When you are working with the tractor, you see immediate results! Much more satisfying!!
In all the yrs I've seen my dad using the box scrapper and pulvizer I like it his had 2 rows of spikes and 2 tumblers and did a very nice job my dad was the best in the business when it came to grading and excavating and finished landscaping he did things with his Massey Ferguson model 25 that just amazed me but im not in anyway trying to take away from the job you do with your equipment or your experience your doing a fine job. My dad after all the yrs of watching the grade using the clutch gave his hip problems so he got him a tc40d new holland hydro with smart stear and a tr3 rake and forks and continued to amaze me and i do a little bit of stuff with the tc40d but I might be just a little biased just cause he was my dad and thats ok and should be expected from his son and all the things he taught me . Again im sorry to hear that you have lost your dad .
Worksaver makes some nice equipment. They also used to make Frontier labeled things for John Deere and probably still do. Located in Litchfield, Illinois with dealers in the midwest.
Looks like the power rake would do less damage and unnecessary digging as well. I didn't know they made a 3 point. I knew they made a skid steer version. If I dug up all the rocks around my place I would have to bring in more diet. Haha thanks Tim great video
@@TractorTimewithTim I only found your channel a few weeks ago. The video about the electric tractor I commented on was one of the first. I had no idea you are local. I am watching through the back episodes.
Wow😮😮😮😮that worked out real nice. You made the yard look so much better and it should drain better as well. I wish I had one of those but I do not think that I would use it but once or twice. Have a nice Christmas!!! 😁😁😁
Very interesting piece of equipment. This looks similar in function to a power rake you had on Vinny a few months ago. You might sometime in a new episode explained what the difference would be on Vinny and this one on Johnny one. I do agree with you that the power rake would be more effective on Johnny two.
So many lawn/landscape people, including TV ones say dethatch, aerate, seed and put down starter fertilizer in the spring. They say it's the best time for rain and the ground is warming up. Others say the fall; aerate, fertilize and seed. Either way they say to cover the seed lightly with composted topsoil to protect it. I play it by ear! Guess it's the Indian in me.
Both are really time sensitive. Too late in either season can really mess things up. A few thing's for sure is, seed contact with soil, starter fertilizer and a bunch of water. Fall is the best time to seed in my opinion.
Tim I have a 1023 I need a attachment to regrade and move dirt from around the foundation of my house, I dug up the footer pipe to replace it and need to get a attachment to help reshape and lightly dig up the now pack dirt
House is probably sold by now, but still, my tip for getting rid of the growth up around those trees, the vines, is chainsaw on a stick, a couple of passes up either side then it’ll pull right off.
Hey Tim, it look like one of your wheel nuts is missing on your back tire, not sure how I spotted it but I hope you see this comment so u can catch, Great video as usual
Dang, Tim! I'm currently adding a J.D., rear 3rd function w/o detent to my 20205R and now you show me this! I'm wondering if it would be cheaper for me to have you come to Maine! LoL
Tried to reply to your comment on elk creek acres video...letting you know we have a solution in the works. Oh well. Our solution will add one to four rear scv’s.
I noticed there was no waste gate on your power rake, also there should be to different top points for your upper arm one is a simple stationary and one elongated. The simple is best for cutting through but when final grading use the elongated one, you can set your depth and drive.
I’m thinking a tiller is a must have..But for finishing work that really looks useful.I usually see those used on track steer equipment,but I can only imagine the cost of rental would be huge.For working on city sized lots I can see how that would be an advantage.You said the 1025 wasn’t quit big enough,but it looked like it was working well.Any reason why ?
@@TractorTimewithTim always :) I have one and even for little jobs it really helps out getting everything nice a even without and dips. Speeds up the work a lot.
I’ve got some friends in Indy looking for a house in broad ripple area. A power rake is on my to get list for my 1025R. I was wondering how it would fare, looks like just fine.
Did a good job, but seeing the rear caster wheels confused quite often I wonder if a slack top hitch unit would be an advantage. Allowing the unit to stay in contact with the ground.
When you acquire your 3rd option for "rear" scv, can you show your multiple SCV setups in a video? It looked like there were 2 rear hydraulic cylinders.
When we first started looking at tractors, like Deere the reviews said by many people that the front axle leaked. I've never heard you say anything about your tractors. The salesman at the dealer wouldn't tell me anything about it. in fact he just turned around an walked off. So we bought an LS tractor. The kubota dealer didn't even try to help us, so we left.
We had a bit of seepage on our 2014 model only when we hauled heavy loads in the loader. It did not leak normally. 2018 and 2019 models have not even seeped. One comment .....you saw some negative comments about a VERY popular machine...so it made you choose a relative ‘unknown’ machine where you will not find enough reviews online to give you a complete picture. Beware of that type of research in the future.
Doesn't appear to angle to windrow the rocks and debris off to the side.. but maybe just didn't notice that feature which is a good one in a Harley Rake.
I know you prefer the loader bucket for finish work, but a tiller and a land plane would have made short-er work of that job. I know you were testing it and they are amazing implements and it's more versatile. Would love to have one but they cost almost as much as the backhoe ...... yikes.
Thanks for the video, you mentioned that the power rakes price was influence by the carbide teeth, I know it's a new tool for you, but wondering if you have information on how long the teeth hold up? Warranty on the teeth? Thanks for your time.
Just wondering which power rake is your preference. The rear mount on Johnny or the front mount on Vinny? Thank you and love yawls videos. Almost every time I watch your video, I have to go outside and do something.
Well now, there is an option to a tiller! That power rake looks like it does an excellent job churning the dirt. Just curious if there is a pto driven version? Y’all did a good job 👏 Blessings.
Tractor Time with Tim That makes a little more sense as you talked about hydraulic lines and not about pto driven (unless I missed it) so it seemed to me it was powered by a hydraulic motor. I also don’t have one of the newer billboard size phones so I probably missed seeing the driveshaft. Lol! Thanks for replying back though.
How long did it take to do the job seems a tiller would require more time to finish and you would still have rocks to dig out .Have a day love from TEXAS
In all fairness to those thinking about buying one of these smaller tractors, maybe you should take a few jobs that arent in the sandy softer soils. In my neck of the woods, most of your equipment wouldn't work in our clay. I've seen harder soil on a baseball diamond to be honest.
Tim ,I rough-cut a bare acreage that had small popular trees (a few 3inch most were 2 inch and smaller) would the power rake remove the remaining tree root,spike left by rough cut mower? or what do you suggest
Did you ever find out why there was not grass or weeds on that hump of dirt? I definitely have a huge weed patch in a couple of weeks on any "loose dirt" areas.
Hi Tim, I really hope we get to see this PTO power rake in more videos soon. These power rakes are expensive and I bet viewers would really appreciate learning what their capabilities are on a compact tractor. Is that the PTC-525 (60") rake you've got there? Can the 3PH even lift it up for transport?
It is a bit too heavy for the 3 pt on the 1025r. I can lift it part-way. The hydraulic top link helps give it a boost. Can lengthen the top link to leave the rear wheels on the ground...then lift the 3 pt....then shorten the top link to lift it :-)
@@TractorTimewithTim So is that the 60" PTC-525 model you've got there? Any issues with power? Maybe you could show it running in harder soil when you get a chance. I was looking at a 60" Land Pride power rake for a B2601 but the dealer was telling me that the tractor was on the light side to be running that rake. Your 1025r seems to handle it ok.
Is the rake you used in this video the PTC-525? I see that the PTC-525 is listed as weighing 755lbs. My understanding is that the spec'd 3PH lift capacity is 681lbs for the 1R, so the PTC-525 is either much less than 755 or your 1R is strong! Plus, you have it setup with the iMatch and that's another 70+lbs and it pushes the rake out further.
Thanks Tim. I bought my Harley rake earlier this summer. You are correct regarding the cost vs a tiller. I am still learning on how to use it most effectively. Sometimes my rear wheels are off the ground as my hitch it too low. I need more practice I guess. Keep up the good work. GOD bless.

Another Great Episode Of Tractor Time With Tim !
Ahh. I remember when my tractor still had all it’s paint. Such a beautiful time in a tractors life.
I’m amazed how well the 1025r handled that power rake. I’d love to see a video on how you set that up to the tractor. I’ve been adding lots of dirt and leveling my yard but all I have is the box blade which works pretty well.
Great video. The power rake really knocked that hill down and smoothed out the front yard.
That rake made the yard look nice. Definitely improved the curb appeal.
I think you really excel at lawn grading projects like these. It looks great!
Just picked up a tiller 2 weeks ago, wish I had procrastinated a bit longer and saw this first. Power rake probably would have been better suited for what I needed. Such is life.
Much more fun expensive for tiller.

Yep. With years of experience (much more than I have) some guys are masters of this type of equipment!
That power rake does a good job Tim . Good job buddy thanks for sharing
Got to have the right tools to do the job and make it look great!
Nice work!
Great job! A nice tool to add to your equipment.
Fine smooth finish
Rewatched! Love the rake on the ground!
I like the back and forth with you and your wife!
I like that power rake. Looks like it does a really good job. Great video good job.
Looks good y’all

Like to see that guy extend that downspout a little farther from the foundation. Nice info on the rake
i like that you and all of your videos with verses from the good book. 😊
Great Job guys!
Great video! The power rake is awesome!
Another Software Engineer here (also stopped being fun many years ago), love working with my 3032, complete change of pace !
I've also travelled to Carmel to working with a company called Aprimo, I'm sure you've heard of them.
Yep. Heard of Aprimo. I love technology. Unfortunately, the business aspects have deteriorated. I’m so happy to be out of it!
Tractor Time with Tim 32 years in SW development as well. Yip, glad to be retired and workin in the dirt 😊
I ordered that tooth bar I love it. The upgrade from a smooth bucket is night and day.
Congratulations! Thanks!
There very common here in ireland tim for yrs now there a great job we have them here on 2 wheel walk behind tractors to
Hey Tim, great video! Looking forward to a video on your rear hydraulic setup from Summit!
Awesome ! Love your channel
Looks like the power rake would do less damage and unnecessary digging as well. I didn't know they made a 3 point. I knew they made a skid steer version. If I dug up all the rocks around my place I would have to bring in more diet. Haha thanks Tim great video
Should of brought vinny along so you could of done a comparison on which power rake is better. nice power rake. Great video!!! stay safe and God Bless
Well, Tim's in Broad Ripple. There goes the neighborhood. time to move! :)

Hey Tim, you are missing one of your lug nuts on the left rear tire. In the first clip. Like so they see this!!
Good catch!!!! I about lost that same wheel when all 6 were loose and 5 fell out. Did damage to the wheel and the parts those bolts go into.
Been gone since Rimguard fill
Well, get on green parts and order a new one! You don’t want to loose another one and warp the rim.
Looks great Tim,
Never seen one of these, Happy Labor day!
I like the job that power rake does. There are times it would be mighty handy. Probably isn’t going to get past the “finance committee” 😉. Blessings!
It's like a mini version of our 12' rock rake
Tim i am exited that my ideal of plugin the Diverter Valve into backhoe Hydraulic hookup becoming a useful ideal and exited see that video

you need the 36 in landscape masterforce rake from Menards!
I wondered when you would get a power rake! I’ve had the Frontier version for three years now. People are amazed at what I can do with it on my 1025R.
There's a decent chance yours was made by Worksaver for JD.

Good Sunday morning! I like that rake alot!!! From what i saw, would the 2 series have been too big to maneuver?
Kool.
You should have a landscape rake.
I do.
Okay. I just thought that it would a lot more leveler.
Tim you need a landscape rake
I’m thinking a tiller is a must have..But for finishing work that really looks useful.I usually see those used on track steer equipment,but I can only imagine the cost of rental would be huge.For working on city sized lots I can see how that would be an advantage.You said the 1025 wasn’t quit big enough,but it looked like it was working well.Any reason why ?
Tim for the love of god buy a landscape rake it’s 3’ wide and makes finishes super easy. Gets you much better results much faster
Ya Gotta find something to complain about, right? :-)
@@TractorTimewithTim always :)
I have one and even for little jobs it really helps out getting everything nice a even without and dips. Speeds up the work a lot.
I’ve got some friends in Indy looking for a house in broad ripple area. A power rake is on my to get list for my 1025R. I was wondering how it would fare, looks like just fine.
Tim, you need a wide land scape rake for your final touch ups 🤣
Did a good job, but seeing the rear caster wheels confused quite often I wonder if a slack top hitch unit would be an advantage. Allowing the unit to stay in contact with the ground.
In those times, I did not need the gauge wheels...trying to dig a bit deeper. I have hydraulic top link to immediately adjust as I see fit.
When you acquire your 3rd option for "rear" scv, can you show your multiple SCV setups in a video?
It looked like there were 2 rear hydraulic cylinders.
Looks like a nifty piece of equipment. I wonder how it would do in working up a garden, to get it ready to plant?
Was wondering the same thing, but i think he said it doesn't dig near as deep. Multiple passes?
Would move the dirt too much...like a box blade.
And leave the ground under it packed a bit too much...in my opinion.
Tim your 1025R is missing a rear wheel bolt on the left side
Tim Christi another tool that a person needs but a home need storage and how much can you get out of the finance committee
God Bless All
PaK
Does it feather the dirt into the remaining grass well or do you end up having to manually rake the edge to taper it in?
That house needs a new roof to be surprised it doesn't leak.
It's amazing how bad a roof can look and still not leak !

Were you missing a lug nut or lug bolt on the left rear?
I tried to be the first person too like this weeks video and failed It had been live for 4mins, thirteenth this week 🇦🇺
I probably would have hauled some of the dirt off.
If it was too heavy for the tractor you should have adjusted the three point so that the wheels on the rake picked up some of the weight.
Thanks for the video, you mentioned that the power rakes price was influence by the carbide teeth, I know it's a new tool for you, but wondering if you have information on how long the teeth hold up? Warranty on the teeth? Thanks for your time.
Have used the same teeth on the Ventrac version for a long m time with no apparent wear.
@@TractorTimewithTim thank you
Where is the tooth bar from? I did not see on it on the website provided Thank you!
Heavyhitch.com. Use code TTWT for a 5% discount.
Would the power rake take the place of a tiller?
Just wondering which power rake is your preference. The rear mount on Johnny or the front mount on Vinny? Thank you and love yawls videos. Almost every time I watch your video, I have to go outside and do something.
Vinny’s power rake is easier to use. We’ll address the differences as we go along.
Well now, there is an option to a tiller! That power rake looks like it does an excellent job churning the dirt. Just curious if there is a pto driven version?
Y’all did a good job 👏 Blessings.
Uh, this one IS PTO driven.
Tractor Time with Tim
That makes a little more sense as you talked about hydraulic lines and not about pto driven (unless I missed it) so it seemed to me it was powered by a hydraulic motor. I also don’t have one of the newer billboard size phones so I probably missed seeing the driveshaft. Lol! Thanks for replying back though.
Hydraulics for 3 pt top link, and angle of the rake.
Tractor Time with Tim, awesome and thank you sir for these real world equipment reviews!
How long did it take to do the job seems a tiller would require more time to finish and you would still have rocks to dig out .Have a day love from TEXAS
Seems like we were done just after we started! Probably 1.5 hours including the talking etc.
Did you call that “the bump buster”
In all fairness to those thinking about buying one of these smaller tractors, maybe you should take a few jobs that arent in the sandy softer soils. In my neck of the woods, most of your equipment wouldn't work in our clay. I've seen harder soil on a baseball diamond to be honest.
Turns out, this had been tiller a week or two before I arrived. Somehow I didn’t get that through my head until later.
Wouldn't it be better if you took the bucket off and added ballast on the front to even the weight out?
This is what I need, thank you for the information. Can you tell me how much it is?
$7k or so. Not cheap...but amazing!
If you angle the power rake of to one side can’t you windrow all the rocks of to say the side walk for easy collection?
In theory, yes. Works pretty well, but at the end of a run, not al of them are pushed to the side.
We have a Worksaver in Litchfield, IL near us ... Were did you get power rake at Worksaver ????
I through Worksaver was only in Litchfield IL .......
Yep. Litchfield, IL
Tim ,I rough-cut a bare acreage that had small popular trees (a few 3inch most were 2 inch and smaller) would the power rake remove the remaining tree root,spike left by rough cut mower? or what do you suggest
Hmm. Power rake would likely do the job.
Which model is this particular one Tim? I have a Kubota 3901 and trying to figure out which one would be the best fit. Great video!
Worksaver.com This is the 5ft version.
Does the power rake run in reverse of a tiller? Throwing the dirt forward?
Yes.
Would love a power rake for my tractor, too bad they’re like 10 grand
Did you ever find out why there was not grass or weeds on that hump of dirt? I definitely have a huge weed patch in a couple of weeks on any "loose dirt" areas.
Turns out that it had been tilled with a walk behind tiller a few weeks before.
Hi Tim, I really hope we get to see this PTO power rake in more videos soon. These power rakes are expensive and I bet viewers would really appreciate learning what their capabilities are on a compact tractor. Is that the PTC-525 (60") rake you've got there?

@@TractorTimewithTim So is that the 60" PTC-525 model you've got there? Any issues with power? Maybe you could show it running in harder soil when you get a chance. I was looking at a 60" Land Pride power rake for a B2601 but the dealer was telling me that the tractor was on the light side to be running that rake. Your 1025r seems to handle it ok.
I'm looking to get one but the price is really crazy. It is a nice attachment to have
Yep, $10k for the smallest JD one.
$7k for the worksaver.
Wow :(
Where i live they are roughly $1200.00 per foot in width. That is a tool that hold its value.
Is the rake you used in this video the PTC-525? I see that the PTC-525 is listed as weighing 755lbs. My understanding is that the spec'd 3PH lift capacity is 681lbs for the 1R, so the PTC-525 is either much less than 755 or your 1R is strong! Plus, you have it setup with the iMatch and that's another 70+lbs and it pushes the rake out further.
I mentioned that it is a bit too heavy for Johnny.
To see actual lift capacity...check out our BX vs. 1025r comparison....episode #1
How well would it work against re-conditioning a gravel driveway around a barn? I have been considering a Skidsteer w/power rake for this task.
Take a look at ABI's SR3 offering for work like that.
Power Rake Works great on a gravel drive.
Where is the Ventrac?
