Thanks, I appreciate it. The next phase of the project is mild in comparison, but essential for bringing in materials for another exciting piece of the project.
I used my U 25 Kubota mini to put in 1/4 mile of bike trail on my mountain property thru the trees. I am a crane operator but had never run an excavator before, so was careful as some the slopesare steeper than shown here.
Fun! I lived in the Green Mountain State of Vermont for 24 years building a number of walking/biking/x-country skiing trails. On a couple of occasions, we had to use anchor cables to help secure equipment working on steep terrain. Very nerve-racking as you end up placing a lot of trust in those anchors, cables, and the setters of that protective gear.
Thank you, we have three more sections of this project that I will be posting videos on: a simple regrade to cross over a water discharge; building a culvert crossing for a dry creek; and creating a trail entrance that hugs the embankment as it descends. We will bring in a lot of hard fill to build that portion (a rip rap base with mix of #1 & #2 stone followed by #57 stone).
I had the rake made for me by a local fabrication shop called Gambier Welding and Fabrication (in Gambier, Ohio). For a lot of my attachments,(including the rake), I prefab my ideas out of wood and then tweak the design at the fabricator from their input.

What is the Make and Model of the Rake? I really like how you make it work.

I designed it and had Gambier Welding and Fabrication build it.
Masz fajny osprzęt do tej maszyny 😊👍
Dziękuję (Thank you - Google Translate English to Polish)
Good video 😊

How much does that rake weigh? TIA
I will ask my fabricator and get back to you by Monday evening. My guess is 200lbs.
My fabricator says that the 52" rake is closer to 225 - 240 lbs.
