PEQUEA Tractor Hay Rake

Pequea offers multiple hay-handling solutions, including rotary hay rakes, V rakes, and tedders. The rotary rake is designed for gathering hay into windrows, while the HRMCR8, HRMCR10, and HRMCR12 V Rakes provide wider raking configurations for larger areas. Pequea Tedders are designed for spreading and turning cut hay to help prepare the crop during the haymaking process. Selecting the right machine depends on whether your operation requires raking, tedding, or both.

The Pequea Rotary Hay Rake has a working width range of 10'8" to 13' and is designed for a 40 HP tractor. The HRMCR8, HRMCR10, and HRMCR12 V Rakes provide substantially wider working widths from 17' to 23'. These different widths allow operators to select equipment according to field size, tractor capability, and the amount of hay that needs to be gathered during each pass.

The Pequea HRMCR8, HRMCR10, and HRMCR12 are V-type hay rakes designed for gathering cut hay into organized windrows for subsequent handling and baling operations. Their 17'–23' working-width range provides broad field coverage, making these models suitable when higher raking coverage is desired. The appropriate configuration should be selected according to the tractor and the working width required for your hay operation.

Pequea Tedders are used to spread and turn cut hay, helping distribute the crop across the field during the drying process. The Pequea Tedder Series is available in working widths from 9' to 35', providing options for different field sizes and haymaking requirements. Wider configurations can cover more ground per pass, while smaller models may be more appropriate for operations with limited working space or equipment capacity.

A hay rake and tedder perform different stages of the haymaking process. A tedder spreads and turns freshly cut hay to improve its distribution during drying, whereas a hay rake gathers the dried or partially dried hay into windrows for baling or subsequent collection. Pequea provides both equipment types, allowing hay producers to select the implement according to the specific stage of their forage operation.

First determine whether you need a rake for windrowing hay or a tedder for spreading and turning it. Then compare the required working width with your tractor's available capacity. The Pequea Rotary Hay Rake covers 10'8"–13' and requires 40 HP, while the V Rake models cover 17'–23'. Pequea Tedders range from 9' to 35'. Consider field size, desired coverage per pass, maneuverability, and tractor compatibility, and verify the specifications of the exact model before purchase.
