Massey Ferguson is introducing an impressive range of new forage equipment designed and built at Agco’s Feucht facility in Germany. This comprehensive line-up – which is part of the brand’s strategy to introduce an exclusive and full-line of equipment across Europe, Africa and the Middle East – includes the Massey Ferguson RK Series Rakes featuring: four single rotor, linkage mounted rakes, with working widths of 3.6m to 4.5m; four two-rotor, semi-mounted, trailed chassis rakes offer working widths up to 10m; and the flagship four-rotor rake (pictured above) providing adjustable working widths up to 12.5m.
This vast array of single, two- and four-rotor rakes in the new Massey Ferguson RK Series include a choice of mounted or trailed models so users can select exactly the right machine for their crops, area and tractor power.
Four single rotor, linkage mounted rakes, with working widths of 3.6m to 4.5m, are equipped with a floating headstock for superb ground following ability. The rotor delivers the swath to the right-hand side and the durable design provides excellent raking quality with easy, straightforward operation.
There is a choice of four different two-rotor, semi-mounted, trailed chassis rakes available in working widths up to 10m. These are equipped with the patented steerGUARD automatic steering system, which ensures the rake accurately follows the tractor’s wheels.
A novel suspension system, along with tandem axles, optimises ground following to provide perfect swath formation and minimum forage contamination. Heavy-duty versions of the 8m and 10m models are designed to cope with high yielding crops and demanding conditions.
The flagship four-rotor Rake, which provides adjustable working widths up to 12.5m, is built for contractors and large-scale farmers requiring accurate swath formation at high work-rates. The robust semi-mounted, trailed chassis machine is designed for transport speeds up to 50km/hr.
Adjustable working width allows operators to make the optimum swath size for the following harvester or baler. A novel headland management system automatically lifts and lowers the rear rotors on the headland, ensuring the swath ends are left neat and tidy.
