Individual rake wheels float across ground contours for cleaner raking compared to rake wheels mounted intandem. Suspended by springs, each wheel individually adjusts for optimum ground contact pressure (left). Once adjusted, a single pin adjusts the working height of all of the raking wheels on that side of the rake (right).
Windrow width can be easily adjusted to produce uniform rows of hay ranging from three to six feet wide. The standard ratchetstyle adjustment lever is located at the back of the rear frame on all models. An optional hydraulic windrow width adjustment kit can be installed to provide you with easy windrow width control from the comfort of the seat of your tractor.
Numerous support wheel options are available to tailor a DuraVee to meet your needs. A third castering wheel (shown) can be installed on DuraVee 1225 models to improve raking performance in rough fields. Rear walking tandem axles can also be equipped on 12-wheel and larger rakes to significantly improve flotation and trailing ability, especially when paired with the articulating frame that’s found on DuraVee 1833 and 2036 rakes.
