2. TECHNICAL DATA
3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Power Box Rake is designed to carry out various tasks, including cultivating, raking,
levelling and earth-moving.
A heavy rotor with special carbide teeth is mounted on it. The rotor is hydraulically propelled
and can rotate in both directions. The rotor can be adjusted to the left and to the right in order
to move rocks, etcetera to the side. The abridged operation of the various functions is:
-Cultivating
The rotor can be lowered into the ground and grind the soil. The side plates are used
to keep the soil in the machine, to sweep the waste in front of the machine and to
keep the treated soil clean.
-Raking
Rocks / stones can be raked to the side(s) by adjusting the working depth in such a
manner that the rotor teeth just touch the ground and by adjusting the rotor to the
side(s).
-Levelling
You can level the ground accurately by adjusting the machine in such a manner that
the rotor teeth touch the high points in the field and move the soil to lower lying parts
of the field.
