Description

Befco Ground Driven Finger Wheel Rakes are essential tools for efficient hay raking and field management. Available in models RS2-02 to RS2-06, these rakes offer a versatile working width ranging from 4'3" to 15'10", accommodating various field sizes. Designed for tractors with horsepower between 16-80 HP, they ensure smooth and effective operation.

Built for small to medium-sized farms, these rakes provide superior performance in gathering and windrowing hay. Their robust design and ground-driven mechanism allow for reliable and maintenance-free use. With a focus on durability and efficiency, Befco's rakes enhance productivity, making them a valuable addition to any farming equipment lineup.

Key Features

Raking (All Models)

  • Positioning: The rake wheels overlap front to back, moving the crop to the center. Proper raking is achieved by positioning the bends on both the support arm and the arms with hubs towards the back of the unit.

Turning (Models RS2-04, RS2-06)

  • Function: Hay rakes can be used to spread already raked hay, usually to help wet hay dry faster.

  • Positioning: When assembled in the spreading position, all rake wheels align to spread the hay across the machine's width. Proper spreading is obtained by positioning the bends on both the support arm and the arms with hubs towards the tractor.

Spreading (Models RS2-04, RS2-06)

  • Function: In the turning position, each pair of rake wheels overlaps front to back, turning the forage crop and allowing it to dry faster. The finger wheels are set to work in pairs, turning two windrows in each pass.

  • Positioning: Proper turning is obtained by positioning the bend on the support arm towards the tractor and bends on the arms with hubs towards the back of the unit.

Tapered Roller Bearings

  • Durability: All wheel rakes are equipped with tapered roller bearings mounted in cast steel, greasable hubs. These bearings are more durable than traditional bearings often used by competitors.

Upwards Bent Wheel Elbows

  • Efficiency: RS2 rakes are equipped with upwards bent wheel elbows that allow for increased flow of raked hay through the wheel rake.

Springs (Models RS2-04, RS2-05, RS2-06)

  • Function: Springs provide sufficient ground pressure to rake the hay correctly and prevent excessive pressure from lifting dirt onto the hay.

ASAE Cat. 1 Quick Hitch Compatible

  • Compatibility: Compatible with ASAE Cat. 1 quick hitches. Models RS2-02, RS2-03, RS2-04V, and RS2-06V are quick hitch compatible ready.
