Swather rake attachment assembly and hay handling system

Abstract

The swather rake attachment assembly hay handling system provides an easily operated front-mounted hay raking function. In the swather hay handling system, a self-propelled swather driving mechanism has a rake assembly attachment that quick-connects to front of a swather. The hay rake assembly may have a parabolic curve for the displacement of pressure. The front-mounted rake assembly offers the ability of raking hay without driving over hay, better visibility to operator without twisting strain from looking rearward, and can be raised completely off the ground for better maneuverability and transport. The configuration of these attachments connected to modern swathers provides a wide range of hay handling options and benefits.
