The supplied Durabilt range covers a wide selection of working widths. The Pull-Type Rotary Rake has a 14-foot working width, while the Hydraulic Fold Batrake and High Clearance V-Rake cover 16–24 feet. The 10- and 12-Wheel BI-Fold Rake is available at 21'6" and 24'4", and the In-Line Hay Rake has a 17-foot working width. Larger options include the 14-20 Wheel BI-Fold Rake at 27'4"–37'8", Qrake X at 24'11"–28 feet, and Rotor Pull-Type Tedders from 17 to 30 feet, depending on configuration.

The required tractor horsepower varies by model. The High Clearance V-Rake is listed for 30–50 HP, while the In-Line Hay Rake requires 30–60 HP. The Pull-Type Rotary Rake requires 40–45 HP, the Hydraulic Fold Batrake requires 40–80 HP, and the 10- and 12-Wheel BI-Fold Rake requires 45–85 HP. The Rotor Pull-Type Tedders are listed for 50–60 HP, while the Qrake X V-Type Wheel Rake is specified at 60 HP. Always match the exact model to your tractor's horsepower.

Durabilt rotary rakes include hydraulic and pull-type configurations, with the supplied models featuring 2 x 11 arms or an 11-arm oil-bath gearbox. Wheel rakes include the High Clearance V-Rake, Hydraulic Fold Batrake, BI-Fold Rakes, In-Line Hay Rake, and Qrake X V-Type Wheel Rake, with wheel counts and working widths varying by model. Rotor Pull-Type Tedders are offered in 17-, 19-, 24-, and 30-foot configurations with hydraulic fold and tilt features. The right type depends on your intended hay operation, working width, tractor capacity, and preferred equipment configuration.

Important specifications vary throughout the Durabilt range. The Hydraulic Pull-Type Rotary Rake has 2 x 11 arms with oil-bath heavy-duty cutters, while the Pull-Type Rotary Rake has an 11-arm oil-bath gearbox. The Hydraulic Fold Batrake is available in 8-, 10-, and 12-wheel configurations with 16–24 feet of working width. The High Clearance V-Rake also comes in 8-, 10-, and 12-wheel versions, while the In-Line Hay Rake uses 55-inch diameter wheels with 6.9 mm tines. The Qrake X provides 55- and 60-inch wheel options, and the Rake Caddy Hitch Adapter, Model RC-932, is designed for 8- and 10-wheel rakes with a hydraulic single remote and 40–60 HP tractor range.

Begin by identifying the type of hay work you need to perform and the working width that best fits your operation. Then match the selected equipment to your tractor's horsepower—for example, the High Clearance V-Rake is listed at 30–50 HP, while the 14-20 Wheel BI-Fold Rake has a much larger 27'4"–37'8" working width and should be evaluated against the specifications of the tractor being used. Also consider wheel count, rotary versus wheel-rake design, hydraulic folding or tilt functions, oil-bath configurations, and the specific hitch or hydraulic requirements. Reviewing these factors together will help you select the appropriate Durabilt hay rake or tedder rather than choosing solely by working width.
