Components (cont'd)
Profile Blades
The profile blades can operate at a depth of up to 4" and are
adjustable at ½" increments. This attachment cuts parallel
to the arena grade, while riding along just above the base, to
remove dangerous compaction layers and aerify the footing.
This creates a sheet of loose material. The finish rake can
then break up the loose material as it flows through the tool.
The Profile Blade attachment ensures that what the horse
and rider see on the top surface, is also what the horse feels
when his hooves penetrate into the footing material. It is
important to remember that the profile blades are used for
grooming, not the renovation of the arena.
Scarifying Teeth (Ripping Teeth)
The scarifying teeth loosen the ground to eliminate hard
spots and easily penetrate compacted arena footing and
gravel driveway material or soil. They are primarily used
to break up compaction and can be used in conjunction
with the finish rake. During daily arena maintenance, the
scarifiers can be pinned up and out of play. Excess wear
will be created by using them during daily grooming.
The scarifying teeth have replaceable bolt on tips. This
feature not only ensures affordable and easy maintenance
of this wear part, but also ensures peak ground penetration
no matter the ground condition. If the tips wear to the
point that performance is diminished, simply replace them,
restoring optimal performance.
Wheels
The large tires serve four important functions. First, they
allow for quick and easy transport. Second, they stabilize
the Arena Rascal Pro from pitching side-to-side ensuring
consistency of grooming depth, the width of the unit,
especially when maneuvering tight turns. Third, they
enable the Arena Rascal Pro to "float" on loosened or wet
material to minimize "sinking" into these soft material
situations, which otherwise would alter grooming
depth. This is a common problem for most competitive
groomers. Forth, they gauge or control how deep the
ground contact components go into the ground and hold
a consistent grooming depth.
NOTE: The operating positions of the right wheel can be
pinned higher for crowning driveways or creating drainage
swales to remove water (Fig 31).
