Batrake/V rake

[j6891]

Not getting on well with my single rotor rake and like the look of these low tech and low power machines. See they've been importing them for a while now and still seem to be selling. Anyone with first hand experience good and bad points. Seem good value but in my head I'm thinking why have I not seen more?

They look a good option but i think most folks a wary of making the windrows into a rope of grass and stones .Just my opinion fer wat its woth as we say here

I don’t think they sell in any sort of numbers compared to rotary rakes for a good reason...

They are new to the market ,we rake in front of the wagons with a Ford 3000 at 8 miles per hour ,they don't rope the grass but can lump it if ur trying to make a narrow row and the headland can be messy where the sward in the sets meet the last run of the headland ,we had to leave a couple of really heavy fields of damp grass as it was leaving bìts behind ,what type of grass are you doing and what are you picking it up with

How about a lely rotonde got on well with mine until I bought a twin rotor rake

Not tempted at all by the UK prices, But the same wheel rakes advertised in the USA are cheap & reasonable?

We bought a single rotor rake this year a kv, it does a nice job. You need to allow some time to do the job as I don't think you can go like a bat out of hell raking up [emoji848]

My friend has a batrake and loves it. No roping and no stones.
@DrDunc was looking into them

They are very simple and fast
