Buckrake suitable for 130hp tractor.

[Martyn]

I bought an adaptor plate from A to Z fabrications earlier this year. They only list a 9' on their website but I'm sure they would make you a smaller one.

Also try Phillip Halse if you haven't already. They were dozens of buckrakes in when I was up there a few weeks ago.

Thanks

I learned on a grey gold 35 and trip buckrake. Still was better than the ford 4600 and push off I used for a neighbour

I think the thread seems to have turned into this sketch!

Anyone else remember using the Ferguson buckrake with tubular tines collecting straight out of the swath laid down with a wheel driven cutterbar mower .
It was a case of reversing into the swath against the direction of the laid swath and creating three or four wedges of mown grass which were then heaped upon each other to form a decent load - and then reversing from all corners of the farm to keep the front wheels down - at the clamp every forkful had to be teased out to help compaction…..

Remember a story about 2 brothers in law, they worked well together, pulled together at the silage and combining. One was drawing grass for many miles with a Ford 5000, (with the doors off to let the noise out), every time he tipped the load off at the pit, his brother in law delighted himself on the 35 to be able to push the whole load in at the one time before the 5000 was around the corner

I have recounted this before on other threads. The old Weeks trailers could not hold much so my great uncle climbed in to help compaction. Soon got out again when a stone flew past his head and straight through the corrugated tin at the back.

wylie moved a lot of grass here with 90hp tractor all uphill in sheds. Now use a moneycarrie one on manitou which is a lot more pleasant.

We have a fendt 313 which is capable of lifting 3.5t on the front and 6t on the back, what would be a suitable buckrake, everything iv rang about dealers are saying I need 200hp+ for. Only for our own silage.

Do you want one for the front or back? If you're not doing it all summer I'd suggest the back.

Remember it well, sometimes times I was put hanging on to the bonnet for that extra bit of ballast

Butchered an old grays 6’6” buckrake and made it approx 9’. 145hp 4cyl Handles it no problem but 3.5t linkage is a bit slow to react. Lobbed a 1.5t weight on the back and feels rock steady with it climbing the clamp. JF 900 picking up 10ft rows, 1st week in July. Usually have 1 if not 2 rolling the clamp as all I do is push up and it’s a fair push all the way to the back.

Someone restarted Gray's with their old designs. Might be worth a call. We have an old Gray's 14tine 9' buckrake. It is a good tool and not to heavy. Old gets about 4 days use a year.

Moulton engineering excellent buckrakes
