Rotary Rake

The rotary hay rake is a forage harvesting machine that integrates the pasture rake.
The unique design of rotary hay rake allows for efficient and thorough hay collection, reducing field losses and improving overall productivity. Unlike traditional rakes, this kind of rotary hay rake uses spinning tine arms to gently lift and move hay, minimizing leaf loss and maintaining forage quality. This innovative approach enables faster operation speeds and wider working widths, allowing farmers to cover more ground in less time.

1.Tine arm configuration
Rotary hay rake features a unique design with multiple tine arms arranged in a circular pattern. These arms rotate around a vertical axis, creating a sweeping motion that gently lifts and moves hay or crop material. This innovative configuration allows for efficient gathering of hay while minimizing soil contamination, resulting in cleaner, higher-quality feed for livestock.

2.Adjustable working width and height
One of the key advantages of rotary hay rake is their adjustable working width and height. Operators can easily modify these settings to accommodate different crop densities, field conditions, and desired windrow sizes. This flexibility enables farmers to optimize their raking process for various situations, maximizing efficiency and productivity.

3.Hydraulic controls for operation
Rotary hay rake often feature hydraulic controls that allow for adjustments and operation from the tractor cab. These controls enable operators to raise or lower the rake, adjust working width, and manage other functions with ease. The hydraulic system also facilitates quick and efficient folding for transport, enhancing the rake's maneuverability and reducing setup time between fields. This level of control and convenience contributes to improved overall efficiency and operator comfort.

1.Enhanced hay quality preservation
Rotary hay rake excel in preserving hay quality during the raking process. The gentle lifting action of the tine arms minimizes leaf loss, which is crucial for maintaining the nutritional value of the forage.
2.Improved windrow formation
The rotary motion of this rotary hay rake creates well-formed, fluffy windrows that promote faster and more even drying. The airy structure of these windrows allows for better air circulation, reducing the risk of moisture-related issues such as mold or spoilage.
3.Increased operating speed and efficiency
Rotary hay rake is designed to operate at higher speeds compared to many other rake types, allowing farmers to cover more acreage in less time. The efficient design and rotating action enable smooth operation even at increased speeds without compromising raking quality. This speed advantage translates to significant time savings during critical harvesting windows, allowing farmers to capitalize on optimal weather conditions and maximize their productivity.

As farming practices continue to evolve, this rotary hay rake stand out as a superior choice for efficient and effective hay harvesting. If you want to get more information about this hay rake, you can contact us at catherine@harvestermachinery.com.
