Front-Mount Hay Rake RAKES Rakes (31l) 34-2-31 A new rake from Danish farm equipment manufacturer Fransgard saves time and fuel by letting you rake up front and pull a baler behind.
Raking speed on the new front rake can be easily adjusted to match ground speed, thanks to the hydraulic motors on each rotor. The drive motors require only 12-gpm flow.
Opposing rotors are mounted over sets of ground wheels with caster-type action. Each set independently rotates a full 360?. The wheel pairs also can be individually adjusted to match field conditions.
Cam-operated rake arms ensure gentle fluffing and raking. The swath width can be hydraulically-adjusted on-the-go to match the trailing baler. Raking widths can vary from 14 2/3 ft. to 18 1/3 ft.
The rake travels down the road easily, folding forward and up for a transport width of less than 8 ft. The Cat. II front-mount 3-pt. hitch is built to carry the full 1,410 lbs. of weight.
Base price is $15,500. An optional front wheel is available for cleaner raking and less wear on rough ground.
