SIMPLE, YET DURABLE DESIGN
Welded Main Frame
The rear frame is completely welded giving you an incredibly long service life compared to bolted-on components. The delta joint unifies and strengthens the main frame which allows crop to easily fall back into the windrow. The hydraulic hoses run through the tongue and main frame for added protection and aesthetic appeal.
High-Clearance Design
The high-clearance frame design provides increased capacity allowing for even more crop flow and excellent windrow formation. This allows excellent ground clearance for entering and exiting fields more easily.
Offset Rake Beam Lift
The patented rake wheel lift orientation raises the front wheels first when activating the hydraulic valve. When raking into a headland, it allows the windrow to form completely with the rear wheels raising after the front wheels to complete the windrow and not leave two short windrows at the end. Rake arms also lift faster and more smoothly for increased productivity.
55” Rake Wheels
The 55” diameter rake wheels can move large volumes of crop. The right- and left-side wheels are designed to gather the crop smoothly along the wheels while forming a uniform windrow. The curved, elkhorn-style rake arms provide additional clearance for high-volume crops and reduce bunching while raking.
VERSATILE TO MEET YOUR NEEDS
Independent Windrow Width Adjustment
The windrow width can be adjusted independently of the overall raking width. This gives you the ability to tailor to specific volumes of crop or to match differing pickup widths. You can also rake at a steeper angle in heavier crops and maintain a narrow width or rake at a flatter angle in thinner crops and form a wider windrow.
Working Width Adjustment
Choose one of four set positions, on the mainframe and turnbuckle, to easily set your working width to match your specific crop and field conditions. Turnbuckles provide precise adjustment of the raking angle. Rake angles are conveniently matched on each side of the machine by using angle gauges integrated into the rake beams.
Adjustable Spring Suspension
The large flotation coil springs are positioned horizontally on the back of the frame and are protected during work. The coil springs provide uniform flotation over field contours and reduce rake wheel wear by decreasing ground pressure. The built-in mechanical rake arm float slot eliminates the requirement for the hydraulic float to be engaged on the tractor.
Raking Side Adjustment
A simple selector valve saves you time when going back and forth from distant fields. Easily choose from one of three adjustment positions:
- Standard “V” raking (left- and right-side raking)
- Right-side only raking
- Transport
SAFE AND STABLE TRANSPORT
Stable Transport
When raised for transport, the rake beams fold flat and over center to provide excellent stability. The link rods rotate the beams and provide additional support for the rake when in transport position. By having the arms positioned over the center of the machine, it provides the narrowest width possible and keeps the rake’s center of gravity between the tires.
