1 INTRODUCTION
The LELY HIBISCUS 485 P (fig. 1) is a pull type, single cam rake
for side delivery. The machine has 1 rotor with 13 tine arms, each
equipped with 4 double tines.
The tines give a clean sweep and move the grass to left hand side in
an airy windrow.
The HIBISCUS 485 P rake is fitted with a trailer carriage so that the
machine need not be carried by the tractor. This facility makes it
possible to operate the machine in combination with a light tractor.
This allows for the machine to continue raking operations even
when turns are made.
The tandem axle wheel assembly ensures an excellent raking
operation of this rake also when working in undulating fields. The
lift system, which is integrated into the wheel assembly, provides
much clearance in the headland position as well as in the transport
position.
