V-Rake Built On Old Haybine Frame
Tennessee farmer Rich Wilson says the V-rake he built on the frame of an old busted-up haybine works just as well as a new rake. “Best of all, I don’t have a lot of cash invested,” Wilson adds.
Wilson first removed the feeding platform, reel and drum from the old haybine. He cut the swing hitch apart and used the pieces to build a stationary hitch mounted at the center of the frame. He says the rectangular tube steel made a real sturdy hitch so he could mount one wheel rake assembly on each side, supported by the tongue and the axle of the old haybine dolly.
“I used an old 3-pt. model rake that I had in the weeds and bought another one really cheap. The only parts I had to buy were 10 bolts with nuts and 10 ft. of flat bar to weld the lift arms and end links that mount the rakes to the dolly.”
