OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
OPTIONAL CENTER KICKER WHEEL
There are two optional center kicker wheel assemblies available for the 5114/5116 Hi-Capacity Rakes. If
the hay is laying out flat, these extra wheels allow you to raise the hay laying in the center of the rake out
of the stubble for faster drying, and easier pick-up. A separate cylinder controls the kicker wheel
assembly. It raises and lowers with the rake wheels.
