Large-diameter rake wheels

Maximize your productivity with optimal clearing action and crop flow with the standard 60-inch (152-cm) rake wheels.

Toolless ground pressure adjustment

Make quick ground pressure adjustments for consistent raking in varying ground conditions by adjusting a pin location on each toolbar.

Optional tandem wheels

Help provide a smooth, level ride to contour the ground in varying conditions with tandem wheels.

Toolless width adjustment

Rake can be changed hydraulically to help maximize productivity and to fit your baler pickup. Windrow width can be toollessly adjusted with a ratchet lever or optional hydraulic windrow width adjustment circuit.

Optional center splitter
