Old Double Dump Rake
 ✖  |
I bought this old double dump rake at an auction sale and am wondering if anyone knows who made it, and when? I've never seen one like it. The rake was originally made to be pulled by horses, but someone added a hitch to pull it behind a tractor. When it was new it probably had a seat and caster wheels on front.
The rake is equipped with two sets of teeth. When the rake fills with hay the operator trips a lever, which causes one set of teeth to come up and dump the hay. At the same time the other set of teeth drops down to catch any unraked hay, eliminating skips.
Judging by the color of the paint on this rake, I think it was made by either New Idea or Farmhand. (Henry Rohrich, 1655 77th St. S.E., Linton, N. Dak. 58552 ph 701 782-4367; rohrichs@bek tel.com)
