4-19-2002  NEW HOLLAND WHEEL RAKE INTRODUCTION

 

High-volume raking...
day-after-day durability


Offered in seven working widths from 17'5" (8 wheel) to 36' (20 wheel), New Holland trailing wheel rakes offer important design advantages that help you move more hay and make bigger, fluffier windrows. And, these folding "V" rakes are built to handle the rigors of tough conditions and high-speed operation.


Select the model that’s right for your operation. HT152 standard rakes are designed for low- to mid-volume producers with smaller acreage, while HT154 deluxe rakes are designed for high-volume hay producers and large-acreage operations.

Reinforced, articulating main frame provides the needed durability to carry the extra load of wide raking settings.

Ample 4'8" vertical clearance allows large, fluffy windrows to pass through without plugging.

4" by 4" high-strength steel tubing is used for the construction of the main frame and each rake wheel frame for long life and dependable service.

Components are bolted, not welded, for a stronger frame.

Each 55-inch-diameter raking wheel provides a large surface area, using 40 equally spaced tines to gently pick up and move all of the crop to build fluffy, fast-drying windrows.

Robust 9/32" spring steel finger tines are designed for hard use day after day, and can be individually replaced if necessary.

Adjustable flotation spring for each raking wheel provides just the right amount of pressure to float over terrain without damaging fields or the finger tines. All flotation springs on each rake wheel frame are connected to a centralized adjustment crank screw that allows operators to quickly change flotation pressure for the entire assembly.

Standard mechanical ratchet windrow width adjustment allows you to change windrow width from 3' to 5' on the HT152 and from 3' to 6' on the HT154. An optional hydraulic kit on the HT154 lets you make changes on-the-go without leaving the tractor seat.

Hefty 3-3/4" hydraulic swing cylinders allow you to change between field position and transport from the comfort of your tractor seat. A lockout valve is standard.

Compact 8'3" transport width for all models allows for easy maneuvering on narrow roads and through gates.

Adjustable friction disc brakes on the caster wheels steady the wheels in the field and eliminate high-speed shimmy during road transport.

Regreasable rake wheel bearings as well as heavy-duty, regreasable nylon bushings in each rake wheel arm pivot provide long life and quiet, smooth operation.

Handy jack stand supports the hitch and tongue when not in use, and pivots into storage during field operation.

Adjustable clevis hitch can be easily changed to match tractor drawbar height.

Two hydraulic remote outlets are required—one for raising and lowering the raking wheel arm assemblies and one for swinging between transport and operating position. A third remote circuit is needed for the optional hydraulic windrow width adjustment.

Optional center wheel kit turns and moves the unraked center portion of the swath into the windrow, offsetting the hay from damp ground and exposing the underside of the swath for faster drying.

Optional two wheel conversion kit extends the raking width of any New Holland trailing wheel rake by installing an additional raking wheel to each rake frame.

Optional single side opening kit allows the operator to hydraulically extend only one side of the rake, for use when turning rain dampened windrows.

Optional rear tandem wheel kit is available for deluxe HT154 rakes to provide improved flotation over rough or uneven fields.
