Turf Teq Stone Rake Hire - Hire

The TurfTeq™ Surface Preparation Rake offers the quickest way to prepare soil for turf, grass seed or wild flowers. Much quicker than a rotavator, it not only prepares the soil, but also removes the stones.

First you angle the deck left or right to work the stones into windrows for easy collection. Whilst doing this, the rake is already starting to produce a fine tilth and grade the site. Next, pivot the head straight and work it across the area in two or three directions in order to complete the job. You now have a level, rough-raked site ready to accept turf. If you are seeding, you just need to touch in the wheel marks with a hand rake. It tills only the top layer (3 to 25mm), and the soil is immediately ready for use. You don't have to re-consolidate the ground, as you would if you used a rotavator. Consequently, it will not slump when the first serious fall of rain comes along.

• Quickly create a smooth, stone-free surface for re-seeding or turfing lawns.
• Re-level playing areas and surfaces that have become damaged, compacted or uneven during use.
• Loosen and rotovate to a depth of 30mm.
• Grade and level soil.
• Rake stones into windrows for easy collection.
• Scarify worn-out lawn areas ready for over-seeding.
• Rakes to the left, to the right or centrally.
• Safe and easy operation in awkward areas.
• Raking depth instantly adjustable from 3 to 30mm.
• 36" (915mm) wide drum, with tungsten carbide teeth.
• These hire rates include the hire of the 13HP Tractor Drive Unit

Do you need to re-level uneven or pitted gravel paths? Are you putting it off because you can't face the slow, back-breaking job of loosening the surface? The Power Rake can offer you a solution.

The TurfTeq Power Rake excels at quickly breaking up the top surface of self-binding gravel paths, bringing fresh, unstained material to the top and enabling you to quickly re-establish a smooth surface.

Earlier this year we rented a machine to Scampston Walled Garden in N. Yorkshire. This is what their Head Gardener, Paul Smith, had to say about it:

"We hired the TurfTeq power rake to clean up our mile or so of self-binding gravel paths. The paths have been down for over ten years with a large amount of footfall and traffic compacting the gravel down. We also had a problem with the top layer looking dirty and moss covered. The power rake made a fantastic job of breaking up the surface and allowing some of the cleaner gravel from below to be brought up to the surface.

We were able to adjust the height of the rake so that it did not overwork the gravel or pull up any sub-base. It was also quick - about a day's work to get around all the paths.
