John Deere has introduced a new line of Root Rakes, which include models RR72, RR78 and RR84. Optimized to work with John Deere G- and E-Series skid steers and compact track loaders and K-Series compact wheel loaders, the attachments are designed for land clearing, ground leveling and moving materials away from buildings and obstructions. The rakes gather rocks and debris while allowing soil to sift through, for minimal site and landscape disturbance. Built with alloy-steel construction, the units have replaceable pin-on teeth and zinc-plated pivot pins with protected zerks. A weld-on “D” ring expands the attachment’s capabilities, including pulling brush in forestry applications or move scrap on a jobsite. Available in 72-inch, 78-inch and 84-inch widths, the rakes help shield the front of the host machine, protecting it against damage from large piles of brush or jagged scrap.
The Bobcat 70-inch forestry cutter gives users the ability to easily rip through hard and soft woods; it fits on the Bobcat T750, T770 and T870 compact track loaders and S850 skid steer. With the addition of a 400-pound counterweight, the cutter can be used with Bobcat’s T750 and T770 compact track loaders. Requiring high-flow hydraulics, the attachment can be tilted forward, throwing the material against the counter combs that reduce the wood to a fine mulch. An optional front gate can be lowered if the operator needs finer mulch. The tube-style drum and spiral tooth pattern allow one tooth to engage at a time for a smoother operation that requires less horsepower. The cutter comes standard with two-speed travel for increased drum torque and improved productivity. An adjustable three-position push bar accommodates an operator’s preferred setting.
