5130 Wheel Rake - up to 30.3' Raking Width

Heavy-duty. Commercial grade. See the pattern?


Model 5130 Series Heavy-Duty Wheel Rake
One look at the rugged frame and sturdy rake wheels and you’ll know this machine was designed for the commercial operator.
Features:
5130 Hesston Series Heavy-Duty Wheel Rake
  • Walking beam rear axles and tandem wheels provide more stability over rough ground and limited oscillation.
  • The large 60-inch (1,524 mm) diameter rake wheels are each equipped with 36 rubber-mounted rake teeth for a cleaner job of raking.
  • Wheel hubs are cast iron, for longer life than steel plate with anti-wrap guard.
  • Each rake wheel has its own torsional dampening spring, so it floats independently. Plus, the amount of ground pressure on the rake wheels is adjustable.

Or maybe you operation needs...

RK Series Rotary Rakes


The RK Series rotary rakes' high-capacity design sweeps hay or forage into a tidy windrow without gathering dirt, debris or unwanted material. The seeping action maximizes leaf retention for higher quality hay.
It used to be that if you needed high-capacity and wide raking widths, your only option was a wheel rake. Yet, rotary rakes have deservedly earned their reputation for well-formed, less-roped windrows that allow maximum air circulation and fast crop drying.
However, with the introduction of the Massey Ferguson RK Series rotary rakes, you can "have your cake and eat it too". Available in three models with crop gathering widths up to 27.5 feet, RK Series rakes feature gentle crop handling and the capacity that operators of big balers and self-propelled forage harvesters demand for harvester efficiency.
By gently sweeping the crop, rather than rolling it to the center as a wheel rake does, RK Series rotary rakes maximize leaf retention and crop quality while building fluffier, faster-drying windrows. The sweeping action also reduces the potential for rocks, dirt and debris in the windrow for a cleaner raking job.
Twelve cam-action tine arms per rotor and a heavy-duty vinyl curtain provide easy adjustment of raking action and windrow width so you can build the perfect windrow in every situation. The model RK3855 even offers the choice of center and right side delivery (two swaths) or right side only (single swath).
Features:
3740 Hesston Series Rotary Rake
  • An adjustable control cam provides optimum formation of swaths for follow-up balers or harvesters — without the use of tools.
  • Strong single-stage bevel gears and divided pinion shafts with three bearings each ensure a long service life.
  • The hydraulic lift system means rotors don't need to be switched off at the end of the field.
  • The heavy-duty frame and steering rear axle coupled with the flexing rotor heads, which are part of the RotorFlex™ suspension system, provide unmatched strength and flexibility.
  • The RotorFlex™ suspension features "jet effect" lifting and lowering, which means the front lifts first and lowers last, to keep tines from diving into the ground.
  • Long tines feature smooth front surfaces for long life and smooth crop release, creating a clean, uniform windrow.
  • A fully enclosed gearbox on each rotor prevents contamination from dust, dirt and debris for maximum reliability. The helical-cut gears and sealed cam track are also permanently lubricated with grease, rather than oil, to prevent leakage and increase service life.

The list continues... 

3900 Series Wheel Rakes 17.1' - 35' Raking Width

40 strong teeth per wheel for cleaner fields and a longer life.


3900 Series Bi-Fold and High-Capacity Wheel Rakes
For big acreage, MF3900 Series bi-fold wheel rakes can cover a lot of ground quickly.
 
  • Spring-loaded wheels/independent pivoting arm means you pick up hay like never before.
  • Get exact windrow widths with hydraulic fold wings.
  • Single hydraulic cylinder lifts each side so you're on the move faster than ever.
Features:
3900 Hesston Series Wheel Rakes
3900 Series Bi-Fold
  • Both manual and hydraulic-fold designs are available in 8-, 12- and 16-wheel configurations to match any operation. 
  • 55" diameter rake wheels sweep fields clean, thanks to the 3900's ground-hugging flotation design.
  • Each model features a center cart that supports two rake wings with the option of a kicker wheel mounted in the center. 
  • A hydraulic cylinder on each side of the rake lifts the rake wheels, while windrow width settings are modified with a ratchet-type adjustable jack.
  • One side of the rake can even be pinned up for raking single windrows or windrow turning.
3900 Series High-Capacity Wheel Rakes
  • Available in a choice of 12-, 14- and 18-wheel configurations for true, big-acreage performance. 
  • Rugged reliability starts with a sturdy mainframe for extra strength, full-size gauge wheels, and 55-inch rake wheels that are mounted on the inboard side of the frame to eliminate any restrictions that could impede the continuous flow of high volume hay.
  • A high, overhead frame at the rear further contributes to clean, unhindered crop flow.
  • Select from up to 22 raking positions on each model, as well as a wide selection of windrow widths to match harvesting capacity and baler or harvester pickup width.  
  • Each rake wheel has its own flotation spring, so it floats independently to follow the terrain, yet all wheels on the wing raise simultaneously for quick transport.

And on....

SV Series Super V+Y Rakes


A Massey Ferguson SV410 or SV440 (heavy-duty) Super V + Y rake can be nearly anything you need it to be. Equipped with the standard 10 or 14 rake wheels respectively, the SV410 and SV440 function as a rugged overhead-frame conventional wheel rake. Add another rake wheel to the front of each wing to cover an even wider raking width.
Or, add the three-wheel rear extension kit to transform your V-rake into a Y-rake for turning the crop across the full rake width. All models easily fold from the tractor cab for narrow transport — as little as 10 feet, 4 inches on the SV410.
The high-tongue, overhead frame and outboard wheels ensure that the area in front of the rake wheels is always free of restrictions that can affect crop movement. Because the rake beams are suspended from the frame, there's no need for gauge wheels that can drop into a ditch or bounce off the ground, lifting the rake wheels in the process.
From front to rear, you'll witness consistent suspension, positive ground contact and smooth crop flow.
Features:
5000 Hesston Series Y + V Rakes
  • Large-diameter rake wheels handle the heaviest of forage crops, while the 40 steel tines per wheel keep the crop moving without "windmilling", putting more crop in the windrow.
  • Single or dual cylinders (depending on the model) adjust raking width to match your harvest equipment.
  • Heavy-duty rake wheel hubs feature sealed ball bearings for maximum durability and lifespan.
  • Each rake wheel has its own spring, so it floats independently for cleaner raking.
  • Adjustable down-pressure springs allow the operator to fine-tune the rake to crop and field conditions — extending the life of rake tines and decreasing the chance of dirt and debris being deposited in the windrow.
  • Tandem-axle walking beams equipped with large flotation tires allow the rake to closely follow ground contours so you get every stem without adding compaction.
  • Rake frame width and beam angle adjustment are infinitely adjustable within limits, allowing the operator to effectively match raking width to crop volume and raking conditions, all without leaving the tractor seat.

And finally for getting the hay off the ground you have the...

TD Series Tedders


Four models provide tedding widths from 8 feet 2 inches to a full 25 feet. Each model offers easily adjusted spreading angles of 15, 18 and 20.5 degrees for adaptability to all forage and crop conditions. The TD Series even offers a choice of two 25-foot models, including the TD1648, which incorporates its own transport chassis that allows the rotors to fold forward and rest on rubber dampers for high-speed transport between fields.
All models are simple to set-up and adjust for quick and efficient ground coverage. Four- and six-rotor models also feature synchronized lifting of exterior rotors via a centralized hydraulic lift system and pressure cylinders to ensure optimum performance and eliminate one-sided loads — even on slopes.
Massey Ferguson TD Series tedders feature commercial-grade construction that starts with induction-hardened, break-resistant rotor heads for increased durability. The heavy-duty, fully-sealed transmission cases also use grease, rather than oil, to ensure quiet operation and longer service intervals. You'll find the same industry leading philosophy in a myriad of other features that come as standard equipment.
Features
1600 Hesston Series Tedders
  • Cutout clutches that protect the U-joints and provide automatic power disconnection when lifting the tedder at headlands, saving you time at every turn.
  • A rugged, square-tube frame that features modular construction for long service life.
  • Galvanized tine supports with super "C" spring tines and built-in tine savers ensure durability and reliable performance.
  • Close coupling between the rotor support wheels and the tines provides quick response to contours and optimal height adjustment.
  • A 1:2 transmission ratio for maximum performance at minimum PTO speeds.
