Abstract
A hay rake having a frame assembly, having a front, a back and two sides and supported by wheels for being moved by a vehicle. A first and second set of a plurality of fingerwheel rakes are provided with each set rotatably carried adjacent opposite sides of the frame about a separate axis. Each of the axis are at an angle to vertical and horizontal. A power actuator on the frame rotates the rakes about the axis for rotating the rakes downwardly, outwardly and backwardly for moving the rakes to a rake position and rotates the rakes upwardly, inwardly and forwardly to raise the rakes to a transport position.
Claims9
A hay rake movable between a rake position and a transport position comprising,
- a frame assembly having a front and a back supported by wheels for being moved by a vehicle,
- a plurality of fingerwheel rakes rotatably carried by the frame about an axis, said plurality of rakes supported by at least one support arm, said support arm being at an angle to the axis,
- power means on the frame for rotating the rakes about the axis for rotating the rakes downwardly, outwardly and backwardly for moving the rakes to a rake position, and rotating the rakes upwardly, inwardly and forwardly to raise the rakes to a transport position, and
- an upside down T-shaped rake support rotatably connected to the axis, said support being in a plane which is at an angle to the axis.
A hay rake movable between a rake position and a transport position comprising,
- a frame assembly having a front, a back and two sides and supported wheels for being moved by a vehicle,
- a first and second set of a plurality of fingerwheel rakes, each set rotatably carried adjacent opposite sides of the frame about a separate axis, said separate axis being non-parallel to each other and both of said axis being at an angle to vertical and to horizontal, and
- power means on the frame for rotating the rakes about the axis for rotating the rakes downwardly, outwardly and backwardly for moving the rakes to a rake position and rotating the rakes upwardly, inwardly and forwardly to raise the rakes to a transport position.
