What Is a Root Rake?
- Different styles of root rakes are available. Some may be a bar with spiked teeth attached to the bottom of a standard bulldozer blade, while others are spike-toothed, frame-like blades. Smaller versions are made to be towed by small tractors.
- Root rakes are used in a variety of industries from logging to landscaping. Dozer root rakes with large tines are used for cleaning up loose tree trimmings or digging into the ground to remove tree roots. The construction industry uses them to remove turf and large rocks from construction sites.
- Attachment of root rakes to equipment is made easier and more versatile by quick attachment points designed to mate with many different manufacturers' equipment.
- Root rakes are made specifically for dealing with cumbersome materials and make the job go easier, faster and much more efficient than traditional blades. The ability to attach a root rake means equipment designed for one use can accomplish multiple tasks.
- Root rakes are designed with replaceable teeth to extend the useful life of the equipment.
