Clean fodder in the right swath
A cam rake should allow fast operations as well as the possibility to lay down an effective swath with the correct shape and width. After all, a good swath is decisive for the output and cutting action of the baler, forage harvester or pick-up loader wagon. Ground assimilation, stability as well as adjustments ensure a clean raking job eliminating any fodder contamination due to soil or dried-up manure.
Efficient raking has an effect on your wallet!
Proper and efficient raking does not only mean that the mown crop ends up in the swath clean and tidy - it is also a preparation for the next harvesting process. So, raking has a great effect on the speed at which the harvesting machines can pick up the swath and that is something you notice in your wallet at the end of the day! All in all - a double effect!
The Ro-tine "carries" the grass towards the swath!
The delivery of a clean swath is a primary consideration in the design stage of each new Hibiscus rake. Lely's engineers are always focusing on optimising the crop movement. Or - to put it another way - on constructing the rake in such a way that the grass is not pressed onto the ground and that any contamination of the crop is reduced to the bare minimum.
It's all about the rotor
Obviously, the heart of any rake is the rotor and the rotors are therefore decisive for performance and machine life. Lely has merged the main functions of the rake's rotor - turning, steering and supporting - into three types of rotor, each with its own specific benefits.
Output due to good ground contour following
The increasing diameters of rake rotors impose ever greater demands upon ground contour following. The tines need to be guided across a large surface while in addition a larger rotor has to be able to adjust itself more effectively. After all, there may be substantial differences in the surface of the field. Two crucial factors are decisive for a good result: correct working height and stability of the rotor.
Lely Hibiscus - built to last
Hibiscus central delivery rakes are by far the strongest and heaviest machines in today's market place. Through these outstanding machines, Lely has set a new standard for rakes that combine an excellent operation with unrivalled durability. This solid construction does not only assure you of a high trade-in value but it also provides confidence during the most critical stage of harvesting, with adverse weather conditions and the contractor "hot on your trail"...
