Frequently Asked Questions — Power Rake Rental
What is a power rake / soil conditioner?
A power rake — also called a soil conditioner or landscape rake — is a track loader attachment with a rotating toothed drum. As you drive, the drum breaks up clods, pulls out small rocks, roots and debris, and leaves loose, level topsoil ready for seed or sod. Ours runs on a 74.3 HP Kubota SVL-75 track loader.
What jobs is the power rake best for?
Final grading, lawn renovation, seedbed and sod prep, leveling topsoil after excavation or construction, clearing rocks and debris from a yard, and touching up gravel driveways. If you need to dig or move large amounts of material first, pair it with our SVL-75 track loader or U35 excavator.
How much does it cost to rent the power rake?
The Kubota SVL-75 with power rake is $750/day or $3,000 for a 5-day week — machine and attachment included. Delivery is a flat $120 (up to 25 miles round trip), plus $4/mile beyond that from our Howell, NJ shop. A $10 deposit books it online; the balance is due on delivery, and a refundable fuel deposit is collected at delivery.
Do I need a license to operate it?
No license is required to operate the Kubota SVL-75 in New Jersey for private use. We deliver to your site and can give a brief orientation on the machine and power rake at delivery.
How far in advance should I book?
Call (732) 508-7096 to confirm availability for your dates, or book online. Spring and fall seeding seasons are the busiest, so we recommend reserving 48–72 hours ahead.
