Northwest iowa | I like to change the pitch of the baskets. This is done by lengthening the threaded rods that hold up the back of the baskets. Mine have maybe 3/4 inch of thread left on top. This will make a big difference in how the rake operates in both wet and dry hay. Ground speed will depend somewhat on crop volume, but 6-8 mph is a good place to start. Just keep it out of the dirt and it will last forever. These rakes are the most trouble free equipment we have here. I run two R2800s, but have had R2300, R24a, and R23a. I think we fixed a bearing on the R23a once, otherwise just replace some teeth now and then | |
