Hydraulic Folding Finger Wheel Hay Rake

Product Advantages：

FThe ASTMA® Finger Wheel Hay Rake offers several operational advantages:

1. 1. Hydraulically folding chassis facilitates transport between sites and minimizes the footprint on the road;

2. Ten sets of synchronized finger-wheel units ensure clean raking and minimal forage damage, thereby preserving forage quality.

3. Operational efficiency reaches 8.5–11.5 acres per hour, making it suitable for large- and medium-scale operations on ranches

Features

This finger-wheel hay rake features a robust and reliable structural design:

1. High-strength rake tines offer wear and fatigue resistance, ensuring they do not easily deform or break during prolonged field operations;

2. The frame is constructed from welded, heavy-gauge steel; the machine weighs 1,650 kg, ensuring stable operation without wobbling.

3.Highly adaptable; compatible with mainstream 100–180 hp agricultural tractors.

Applicable Scenarios

1.Forage harvesting operations：.Suitable for raking various types of hay—such as alfalfa, Chinese ryegrass, and perennial ryegrass—after drying; it gathers forage scattered across the field into neat windrows, facilitating subsequent baling and pickup.

2.Crop residue recovery scenario：After harvesting, corn and wheat stalks can be spread out to dry and then raked into windrows for use as livestock feed or in biomass recovery.

3.Large and medium-sized grasslands / farmlands：Suitable for large-scale ranches and extensive farmlands; designed to be towed by tractors with 50 horsepower or more. Features a hydraulic folding mechanism that ensures high operational efficiency in the field, while allowing the unit to be folded for reduced width during road transport.

4.Adaptable to various plot types：It can operate on both flat land and gently sloping cultivated fields; it is suitable for dry or semi-dry forage and plots with moderate surface stubble.

Maintenance and Servicing

After operation, clean forage, mud, and debris from the machine body; inspect the spring tines, hydraulic lines, and fasteners; and apply grease to the pivot points and bearings.Every 50 hours, re-examine the lubrication, folding mechanism, and bolts, and adjust the ground clearance of the finger wheels. During the off-season, thoroughly clean the entire machine, replace damaged parts, apply anti-rust treatment to metal components, store the unit in a dry warehouse, and release hydraulic pressure.
