OPERATION OF THE ROCKAWAY LANDSCAPING TOOL
After the Rockaway has been installed on the tractor, lower the bucket to the ground and tilt it forward about 15 degrees. No down pressure is needed. Use the float position if applicable.
With engine throttle at about half, engage the rotor and begin reversing slowly so that rocks and dirt can be processed completely. At this point, dirt and rocks are processed together through the rotor. The bucket should be about half full for the Rockaway to operate correctly. If you dump the bucket too often, the unit will not be able to process the soil well enough, and you will dump too much dirt.
When the bucket is kept at about half full, the dirt clumps are broken up, leaving only the rocks in the bucket. Dirt, fine enough for seeding, passes through the rotor and out through the Rockaway screen. You may have to make a rough pass in some conditions, depending on how rocky the soil is, and then a final pass to level the soil and finish for seeding.
When the time comes to empty the bucket, raise it, along with the Rockaway, and move to the dumping area. When the loader arms are raised and the bucket with Rockaway is rolled forward, rocks are dumped out between the cutting edge and the rotor. Reversing the rotor may be helpful when dumping larger rocks. Remember, never dump the bucket higher than the safety instruction provided by tractor manufacturer.
Although the Rockaway performs its rock-picking functions in reverse, it is also designed to push small amounts of dirt when moving forward. Operators find this a convenient way to level the ground being worked on.
