The Land Pride Powered Rake is a versatile tool for landscaping contractors

Designed to help Kiwi landscapers’ grade, level, shape, pulverise, cultivate, and renovate across a range of surfaces, the Land Pride R 16 Series is built to last and comes in a range of models.

Kubota product manager, John Moloney, says the Land Pride Powered Rake is the ultimate tool for landscaping contractors looking for a versatile surface preparation and maintenance implement.

"The 60- or 72-inch working widths are well suited for smaller landscaping and turf renovation jobs, with a horsepower requirement of 25–60hp. The 90-inch model is perfect for larger commercial jobs and requires 35–75hp.

"The attachment is capable of raking or windrowing soil, rocks, and construction site debris while another common application is renovating gravel roadways and tracks. It’s an incredibly versatile implement.

"The Powered Rake is built to last with a range of features, including the wide gauge wheels adjusting vertically to set working depth with tall and wide tyres to keep turning fluffy soil. The sealant prevents against punctures and the cast iron chain guard housing protects the chain in harsh conditions. The carbide tipped studs are the same used in the mining industry, so they are very tough with a long life and can be replaced one at a time where needed."

Additional standout features include quick hitch compatibility allowing for the user to quickly connect and disconnect from the implement when a Land Pride Quick Hitch is added.

"The PR16 Series Powered rake also has side plates with storage, allowing you to hold dirt with the rake for filling in low spots, and the material control deflector determines what size of material to let pass through the roller and what size to move out. These features make the PR16 Series Powered Rake one of the most versatile landscaping tools available.

"The double roller chain takes the fluctuation loads from the roller in varying ground conditions and, due to the drive chain being enclosed in an oil bath with a drain plug, the sprockets are kept lubricated with minimum abrasion."

The first deliveries of the Land Pride PR16 Series Powered Rake range arrive this month.
