On a good day once you learn to run the rake. How many square feet per hour will a 90 inch rake do.

How many square feet per hour is hard to gauge and depends on many factors, such as the condition of the soil, etc.. Renting is a good way to check it out. We rent the 72 inch and 80 inch models.

Let's say you were working friendly soil with a 1 1/2" cutting depth, averaging 2 mph on your loader. A mile is 5,280' long, multiply that by 2 giving you 10,560 ft. The rake is 90" wide, so you have a strip 10,560' by 90", which comes to 79,200 sq. ft. of area in a 2 hour slot, just moving in a straight line. For perspective, an acre is 43,560 sq. ft., so it would be about 1.8 acres of work every hour. Real world, with turn arounds, grading time, clearing rocks or brush out of the implement, it's closer to an acre and change of work every hour. Working driveways is generally a bit slower as you're cutting potholes and washboards part of the time. Track loaders are generally faster than wheel loaders as they grade flatter.
