Landscaping Blade Equipped With Pivoting Rake Tines
"There's never been another landscaping tool like this," says Leo Petry about the claw-like truck attachment his friend Woody Harding designed and built. The "Plow Rake" has a steel blade at the bottom and curved rake tines on top that pivot up and down.
"What makes it so innovative and ingenious is that the rotating claw reaches down and grabs soil, gravel, tree branches and more," Petry says, adding that it can do the work of many people quickly to put in lawns.
Basically, Plow Rake works by pushing sand, soil or snow forward with the bottom plow blade. When you've pushed it as far as you want, you hydraulically lower the "clamshell" rake over the material.
Then, you back up to spread the material out gradually or lift up to transport it elsewhere.
The plow blade and claw can get within an inch of a fence, foundation or garage door.
It mounts onto a truck like any other plow. The Plow-Rake also fits on tractors and skid steers.
Harding is looking to license the patent-pending Plow-Rake to a large company that will manufacture and market it.
