Basket rake

A basket rake comprising:

• a main frame configured to be coupled to a tractor;
• a left basket including a drive motor, the left basket coupled to the main frame via a left extension frame;
• a right basket including a drive motor, the right basket coupled to the main frame via a right extension frame;
• a plurality of hydraulic actuators, the plurality of hydraulic actuators including a first hydraulic actuator configured to extend or retract the left extension frame, a second hydraulic actuator configured to extend or retract the right extension frame, a third hydraulic actuator configured to rotate the left basket, a fourth hydraulic actuator configured to rotate the right basket, a fifth hydraulic actuator configured to raise or lower the left basket, a six hydraulic actuator configured to raise or lower the right basket, and a seventh hydraulic actuator configured to operate the drive motors of both the left and right baskets;
• a plurality of control lines, wherein each of the plurality of control lines is hydraulically coupled to a single one of the plurality of actuators, the plurality of control lines including a first control line corresponding with the first hydraulic actuator, a second control line corresponding with the second hydraulic actuator, a third control line corresponding with the third hydraulic actuator, a fourth control line corresponding with the fourth hydraulic actuator, a fifth control line corresponding with the fifth hydraulic actuator, a sixth control line corresponding with the sixth hydraulic actuator, and a seventh control line corresponding with the seventh hydraulic actuator;
• and
• a multi-function valve hydraulically coupled to each of the plurality of control lines, wherein the multi-function valve is configured to receive hydraulic fluid from the tractor and further configured to direct hydraulic fluid and control the flow of the hydraulic fluid to one or more of the plurality of hydraulic actuators via the corresponding one or more control lines such that each of the plurality of hydraulic actuators is capable of operating by itself to extend or retract the left extension frame, extend or retract the right extension frame, rotate the left basket, rotate the right basket, raise or lower the left basket, raise or lower the right basket, and operate the drive motors of both the left and right baskets.
