The McHale R 62-72 & R 68-78 can be used to combine multiple
mower rows or to row up grass, which is left on the flat. McHale
centre delivery rakes are powerful but gentle on the crop, delivering
the perfect swath preparation.
The rotors on the McHale centre delivery rakes are suspended
centrally and both rotors operate at equal ground pressure across
the adjustable working width, to deliver the perfect swath.
The R 62-72 & R 68-78 are designed to deliver a tight turning
movement and high output. The low-maintenance steering
system is effective in even the tightest turns.
Once at the field the crop deflector moves automatically into the
working position as the rake is being folded down. McHale rakes
are specifically designed to deliver a high headland or swath
clearance.
The tines on each tine arm guarantee
the cleanest sweep, delivering
uncontaminated fodder into the
aerated swath. The tine arm cam
adjustment, allows the operator to
adjust when the tines release the
crop.
For transport, when the rotors are folded up,
they move down into a locking position, which
delivers a transport height under 4 meters. As
a result, tine arms do not need to be removed
for transport. The McHale R 62-72 & R 68-78 are
equipped as standard with 380/55 -17 wide tyres,
which give excellent stability on the road, while
minimising compaction in the field.
The McHale R 62-72 & R 68-78 twinrotor centre delivery rakes offer a
number of different working widths
as illustrated in the table above. The
variable working width is adjusted
hydraulically from the tractor seat.
