Wheel Rakes in Forage Harvesting

A wheel rake is haymaking equipment featuring large circular rake wheels arranged along a sturdy frame. The front perspective highlights the circular rake wheel design with spoked teeth configured for gathering cut grass into windrows. This agricultural machine plays a vital role in drying and preparing harvested forage.

Ground-Driven Raking Technology

Unlike mechanical implements powered by tractor drives, wheel rakes operate entirely from ground friction. As the machine travels forward across fields, contact with the ground spins the angled rake wheels automatically. This simple mechanical action gently lifts cut hay into neat rows without shattering delicate plant leaves.

Common Colors of a Farm Wheel Rake

  • Main supporting frame: bright yellow, blue, or red powder coat
  • Circular rake wheels: silver zinc or gray painted steel
  • Wire rake teeth: metallic silver or shiny steel
  • Hub centers: dark gray, black, or matching frame color
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Wheel Rakes

What is the main job of a wheel rake on a farm?
A wheel rake gathers cut grass or alfalfa into long, fluffy rows called windrows so balers can pick up the hay easily.
Why are windrows important for drying hay?
Rolling hay into loose rows allows air to circulate under and through the grass, which dries out moisture before baling prevents mold growth.
Why do wheel rakes have flexible wire teeth?
Flexible spring teeth glide over uneven ground smoothly without picking up rocks or dirt that could contaminate animal feed.
