The rake is now ready for use. It is extremely easy to operate as it just has
to be hitched to the tractor which trails it in the required direction. The rake
wheels, which have been adjusted according to the type of ground, turn as
they are pulled along and the teeth
collect the cut forage.
The rake’s working configuration, as
illustrated, allows the cut forage to
be collected and conveyed into a
single
central swath. This
configuration, which can reach 10
metres
for some models,
considerably simplifies the process
thereby reducing end costs.
IMPORTANT
You must remember that the tractor
must drive in a more or less straight
line. To change direction a few
metres before the end of the field,
the driver needs to apply the
command to lift the rake wheels and
close the side arms.
Only after the rake wheels have
been lifted and the arms are closed
can
the operator change the
tractor’s direction, which requires
several maneuvers.
Once the operator has turned the tractor, he can apply the command to re-
open the side arms and then lower the rake wheels to continue the work.
To move the forage in the central swath, one or more additional rake
wheels need to be installed at the centre of the frame. A set of additional
rake wheels can be supplied with the Easy Rake series (the set, shown in
the illustration, is called Kicker wheel and is available on request).
Swath adjustment: the swath can be narrowed by moving the two rear
rake wheel arms, as indicated in the illustration by the arrow.
