Powered Rake Roller
The roller is powered by a roller chain attached to a
sprocket mounted on the hydraulic motor that runs off the
auxiliary circuit of the skid steer loader.
A hydraulic directional valve is utilized to power a
hydraulic cylinder that angles the roller frame 20 degrees
in either direction for windrowing material to the side.
This valve allows 3 gpm of oil to be routed from the
auxiliary circuit of the skid steer loader and is actuated by
a solenoid valve connected to a toggle switch in the cab.
Gauge Wheels
Caster gauge wheels are mounted on the front of the
frame to control the height of the roller during field
operation and when the parallel linkage mounting plates
are in the float position.
Setting Working Depth
Refer to Figure 3-1:
The operating depth is controlled by adjusting the caster
gauge wheels up or down and not with the skid steer
hydraulics. There are easy to remove and install
C-spacers (#7) on all gauge wheel spindles (#1). Move
gauge wheels up for greater raking depth and down for
less raking depth.
1. Move wheels up by repositioning the desired
number of C-spacers (#2) from below to above
gauge wheel support arms (#3). Make certain flat
washer (#4) is located above all the C-spacers.
2. Move wheels down by repositioning the desired
number of C-spacers (#2) from above to below the
gauge wheel support arms (#3). Make certain flat
washer (#4) is located above all the C-spacers.
Depth Adjustment
Figure 3-1
NOTE: The gauge wheel on the chain case side
should be down approximately 1 inch more than the
non-drive side to compensate for extra weight.

Parallel Linkage Mounting
Refer to Figure 3-2:
The skid steer loader parallel linkage mounting plates
allows the operator to lock the parallel linkage arms in
order to apply down pressure to the rake roller. The pin
can be placed in the back hole to permit parallel linkage
to move in float position. This allows the rake roller with
the aid of the caster gauge wheels to follow the contour of
the ground.

Material Control Blade Adjustment
Refer to Figure 3-3:
Material control blades are mounted above the roller so
control can be established over both the size and shape
of materials being cleaned or raked. The gap between
the front material control blade and the rake roller can be
adjusted to widen or narrow the opening. A wider
opening will allow more dirt and rock to pass through.
A narrow opening will allow for finer raking.
The height of the front material control blade can be
adjusted by loosening bolt (A) and sliding material
control blade (B) up or down to desired height.
