 Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot | There are fancier rakes, but the little Kuhn speedrakes have really impressed me. And a lot of the neighbors since almost everyone has at least one now. One of the larger hay farmers here sold all of his Twinstar hydraulic rakes and has half a dozen, some SR 112's, and some 312's.
I have one SR 112, and the only bad thing is a 14' header is as wide as it will rake. The 312's are better if your cutting 15' or more, and will also handle heavier crops. I usually use an Allen hydraulic basket rake, especially on heavier cuttings, but it will handle 3+ ton alfalfa fine. They look like they are built pretty light, and they are, but that is also an advantage. Keeps them from dragging dirt in. They will float over gopher mounds, yet follow the ground well. | |
