Abstract
A pine straw rake apparatus and system, and a square drive for the pine straw rake. Typically, the square drive includes three sprockets, one larger than the other two in a triangular and planar arrangement, and a roller chain wrapped around the partial circumferences of the sprockets. A motor is typically connected to the large sprocket. An embodiment of the pine straw rake includes two square drives in an offset and parallel arrangement with a plurality of rake bars connected to corresponding points on the roller chain of each square drive. The rake bars include rake teeth. In the pine straw rake system, a pine straw rake is connected to a carrier that can be self-propelled or can be adapted to be pulled by a tractor or other vehicle. An elevation adjustment can be used to adjust the elevation of the raking action to compensate for uneven ground or other terrain.
