    It looks like they have the power grader adjusted so it pulls gravel from along the shoulder and moves it back to the center of the road. That is great because it replaces the gravel from the tire tracks that gets squished to the shoulder when the drive is soft. It really did a great job to reshape the road with out needing a road grader to come in and bring the gravel road crown back and smooth the road surface along with the shaping. I like the way it worked.

      yeah it does that, I didn't mess with the adjustments much, but it worked slick for sure :) Thanks.

    If I had been told that the power rake (soil conditioner) attachment was originally designed for gravel driveways, I would’ve totally believed it. It is just perfect for that. Pair it with a vibratory roller and you have an unbeatable driveway combo.

    • @kapperoutdoors
      @kapperoutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's what many excavators and landscapers use them for is gravel. If you get a quality one, you'll be fine on gravel. I'll be getting one of these with the Bobcat. Thanks.

  • @throngcleaver
    @throngcleaver 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    What a great finish on your driveway, and in less than two hours! I spent two hours with my box blade on the driveway, and it's only 1/4 mile long. You are going to LOVE whatever you end up buying, and with all the attachments available for them........you can do just about anything but knit booties with it. :D

    Yep, I definitely know what you mean about bending, kneeling, lifting, and anything else that uses the back and knees. The Corps helped create a "permanent limp" which some days is more noticeable than others. Hey, I just take more Naproxen to counter my gimpy-limp days, ha. I think you're liking that CAT and the Gehl is a nice contender. Regardless, make sure you get a harley rake with whatever one you purchase. Full-video watch, Kap. Later.

    • @kennyfields2370

  • @garycrumrine9538
    @garycrumrine9538 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The good thing about a power rake it gets all the way down to the bottom of holes. Where as the box scraper just scrapes off the tops. And the holes return in short order

  • @AvgJoe0007
    @AvgJoe0007 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    You need to angle the power rake to pull product from the side of the road to the middle to build or keep a crown.
    I run a Vernig power rake with a hydraulic angle cylinder. Takes the work out of changing the angle.
    I've run several Harley and Bobcat power rakes as well. The Bobcat fell apart in about one day. The Harleys are OK, but not built near as well as the Virnig. That's the way to go. Very capable and strong machine.
    Bobcat and Cat make great skid steers for power raking, but I use primarily an ASV because of its power and its ability to go where Bobcat and Cat can't go. The ASV tracks are awesome.

    • @kapperoutdoors
      @kapperoutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good info. The bobcat I ordered has wide track, so it ought to be able to come close to the asv for traction. I know asv is a beast, but I didn't want to take a chance with the nearest dealer being in another state and like 75 miles. Thanks

    I owned a Cat wheeled skid steer a few years ago. It was great and Fabic was a good dealer. As with anything that expensive, dealer support is a big factor. If I were to buy another one I’d have to look at JCB. They’ve got a single sided lift arm with entrance from the side so you can get in and out no matter where your load is situated. If you work alone as used I used to that would be a great feature. There’s a dealer in Hamel Illinois that I’ve visited but know nothing about.

    • @weshyde2423
      @weshyde2423 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      CHARLES LANGE JCB skid steers and compact track loaders are comfortable, easy to maintain, surprisingly powerful, and the safest skid steer on the market.

    • @kapperoutdoors
      @kapperoutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, just due to the distance of the closest dealers I did not look at them. But I think I have a good thing going with the Bobcat, they are close, and I've had great dealer support. Thanks.

  • @charlie4668
    @charlie4668 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Bobcat has the bobdock system. You don't have to hook up hydraulic lines anymore if you don't want to it's automatic. Mine has that option, as soon as you connect the quick connect it also automatically connects your hydraulics.

    • @kapperoutdoors
      @kapperoutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Never heard of that, never seen it. I test drove a bobcat also. You still have to connect the hydraulic lines, but that is no big deal when you're not bending and crouching down into an awkward space.

    • @youngmike8645
      @youngmike8645 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I always worry about the electrical issues and of course the emissions system that a machine has but I used to work for a big construction company that had a CAT 262C and in all the years I worked there I have never seen it down had over 3k hours on it when I left and it was far from cared for, or maintained. This company only ever changed the oil and filters every 1000 hours if that. Sad from my point of view because if because I am a preventative maintenance freak, I always learn where every hidden grease zerk is located and always change and check fluids oil and filters. Maybe it was a good pick of the bunch and they just got lucky but it’s better than the alternative of getting a lemon. In my opinion just about all machines are great when new but unless you dump them after reaching a certain amount of hours, longevity, ease of maintenance and parts availability are paramount. With CAT you can always get parts and service if you don’t turn wrenches yourself but be prepared for the CAT price tag.

    @michaelgoodwin5162 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you think a power rake would work for busting up asphalt millings with a lot of chunks? Or am I just going to break the rake? The chunks are fairly soft and I was planning on doing it during the summer heat.
    Rental around me is fairly expensive for a attachment. Over $200 a day.

    • @kapperoutdoors
      @kapperoutdoors  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Unless the CAT sales guy also represents Bobcat, at 7:12 you let it slip that if the numbers are good you're getting a CAT.
    You kept it secret for a whole 57 seconds (video time). ;-)

    Cat was overpriced for what I wanted I went with Takeuchi, very similar to gehl. Cat had a tight cab in comparison to cat and the cat 299 was 100k plus where the Tak tl12r2 was 78k out door

    That harley take is ment for grading and pulverizing dirt! Not stone! Should be using a back blade on a 3 or tractor for stone like the rest of the world

      They are made for gravel as well. Many excavators and landscapers use them for decades on gravel.

    Probably none of my business Kap but why buy one? You know how many times you could rent one for the cost of it? I understand it has resale value but all those implements are nice until they’re broke. My brother in law had one and it was constantly needing repairs. There’s enough things to repair all the time on a farm, why throw in another one? Just my $.02

    • @kapperoutdoors
      @kapperoutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm considering it because I have a lot of dirt work that I want to do on our farm and the Kentucky farm and that thing will move 20 times faster than a tractor. I'd like to make some more flooded impoundments and maybe a very big pond. Which if I can do that on my own is worth about 30k right there. And they cost about 2,500 to rent for one week. Thanks.

    I promise you want to stay away from equipment that uses proprietary attachments.

    • @kapperoutdoors
      @kapperoutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, sometimes there is no avoiding it. CAT uses CAT and Bobcat uses Bobcat. Gehl can be wired to use off brands and maybe adapted to these, but no likely, or they won't work properly so I've heard.

    • @weshyde2423
      @weshyde2423 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nothing is proprietary except the plug! That is just old outdated information built off the bobcat business plan that married you to the brand after you bought several attachments.

    As long as that harley is a rental. That is not what that tool is designed for at all. Yes it might work but that is a soil conditioner. I couldnt watch the whole video. I threw up a little in my mouth.

    • @kapperoutdoors
      @kapperoutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, I've seen it used many times for gravel driveways. One of my excavator friends who's been doing this for 40 plus years. Uses them on driveways. Hopefully the taste wasn't too bad when you started throwing up, LOL.

      @@DEDBRD-di4yj Well, everybody's experiences are different. My excavator goes forward, and I also watched some videos from dirt ninja and he goes forward as well. Probably just a personal preference. Thanks.
