The Skid-Steer Hydraulic Rock Rake is designed to remove rocks and debris, level terrain, and prepare seedbeds
Blue Diamond Attachments officially launched its Skid-Steer Hydraulic Rock Rake, a ground preparation attachment designed to efficiently remove rocks and debris, level terrain, and prepare seedbeds. The 68-inch rock rake eliminates labour-intensive hand raking while effectively collecting rocks ranging from three-quarters to 8 inches in diameter.
The Hydraulic Rock Rake is designed to enhance performance and versatility
Features of the new attachment include:
- Heavy-duty hood reinforcement to protect against front impacts
- Hydraulically operated top cover for easy debris transport and dumping
- Replaceable, bolt-on, reversible rake bars as standard equipment
- Optimized with AR400 hardened steel rake teeth for enhanced durability
- Built-in hydraulic protection to prevent motor damage
The rock rake features 12 tooth bars with a total of 484 teeth arranged in a staggered pattern to collect rocks and debris into an integrated bucket as the soil is leveled. The teeth are mounted to a double-channel bolt-on bar system that is reversible and replaceable for extended service life. Adjustable skid shoes allow operators to control working depth and limit wear during operation, and integrated steps allow for safe, easy cab access.
Technical specifications for the standard model include a 68-inch working width, 79-inch overall width, and 1,500-pound weight.
All Blue Diamond Hydraulic Rock Rakes come with the Blue Diamond Satisfaction Guarantee and are backed by a 1-year warranty.
"Our Hydraulic Rock Rake is a true workhorse when it comes to land preparation efficiency," said Drew Truan, chief executive officer at Blue Diamond Attachments. "We took customer feedback about other units in the market and integrated solutions into our design that set this model in a class above."
