New Single Rotor Rake

[PROFarms]

For the past few years since abandoning the old haybob I’ve been raking with a belt rake as shown in the picture. This year I’ve had a lot of trouble with it as it seems you can only have the PTO running at about 330epm before the tines and belt decide to turn themselves inside out and it seems to be happening more and more this year! Cut a long story short I’m after a new/used rake and am currently looking at single rotor rakes in the hope it will rake faster then the belt rake. I only use it with an International 444 or Massey 135 so can’t be too heavy. Just wondered what people’s opinions on various brands are and what sort of size I should be looking for to rake on that sized tractor. Other option I had looked at is the enorossi batrake but again I’ve heard mixed opinions on them!

PZ haybob looks like it would be just the job for your equipment

Father hated baling behind the haybob especially in thin crops. Only thing the haybob gets used for now is fluffing you a row in front the baler if it’s been rained on with the gates nearly full open

Ours is 9yr old now, done a lot of work and is still immaculate. 2.64m rotor diameter, all the arms come off and packs away very small.

If we bought it again though we would have the bogie wheels.

135 would handle it no sweat.

Looks just the job for a 135

Thanks! Funny enough I’ve just come across that one and messaged! Long way from home though!

I can't quite tell from pics if it will come apart at all to go on a double pallet.

Got in touch with the seller and they didn’t seem interested sending on pallet or me having someone collect

All the arms are at the same angle - it will just stir the grass up.

I looked at it a few times yesterday. The only ones at a sensible angle are the 2 that should be lifted, all the others are digging in. Something not right with tine arms/cam/tine mounting.
