McHale has added a range-topping model to its centre delivery rake offering, the R80-90, which has a working width of 8.0m to 9.0m.
It offers rotor height adjustment, tine arm cam adjustment, hydraulic width control and individual rotor lift as standard for clean gathering of crop to the swath. The pivoting headstock couples into the tractor linkage arms and controls the steering system, while drive is through a wide-angle gearbox to the individual rotors.
The rotors are suspended centrally using heavy duty springs and both operate at equal ground pressures across the working width, which is adjusted hydraulically by the telescoping arms from the tractor seat. Tine arms are detachable to allow for storage in low building or reduce the transport height.
For added protection, all tine arms are fitted with tine end savers to ensure that if a tine breaks it will not fall into the crop. The R80-90 will be on the McHale stand at LAMMA in January.
