2018 Hesston RK Series RK451TR

A Clean Sweep

Designed to fit both custom and commercial operations, RK Series single, dual and quad rotary rakes gently sweep the crop into even, fluffier windrows for faster drying and better baling.

Features may include:

Innovation

From its innovative suspension to its clean gathering action (without all that dirt and debris), the RK Series delivers a well-formed windrow that leads to higher quality hay.

Cam-action tine arms per rotor and a heavy-duty vinyl curtain let you easily adjust raking action and windrow width

Our unique RotorFlex suspension lets rotors float from front to back & side to side to cleanly gather the crop into a more manageable windrow

"Jet effect" lifting & lowering means the front lifts first and lowers last, so tines don't dive into the ground - and there's less dirt in your crop

The RK series rakes are all equipped with a headland position feature meaning rotors do not need to be switched off at the end of the field.

Capability

Using tines instead of wheels, these rotary rakes form even windrows without roping or plugging. Plus a heavy-duty frame, strong single-stage bevel gears and other commercial features each ensure a long service life.

Dual and Quad rotor models have a transport chassis with steerable rear wheels for better maneuverability on tight turns and during transport.

With 8 models with gathering widths from 11-41 feet, RK rakes feature gentle crop handling plus the capacity that large scale operations demand.

An adjustable control cam provides optimum formation of swaths for follow-up balers or harvesters without the use of tools

Rotor tines last 2 to 3 times longer than traditional wheel rakes and can be easily be replaced one at a time, instead of replacing an entire wheel
