Subject: Re: Rotary Hay Rakes



Little River, TX
Hopefully the dealer will know how to adjust the rake. With a rotary rake there are more adjustments than with a roll bar rake. The height of the of the gauge wheels is an obvious one. Then there is the pitch of the rotor itself. It wants to have a slight pitch toward the front. With mine I can adjust the top link as well as the tilt of the rotor on the machine.
Too fast a RPM is not all that great. I like to run the PTO at 300 to 350 RPM, and adjust the ground speed with gears or hydro drive.

Regardless of rake type I try to handle hay when the humidity is too high to bale.
