Aiming to be a one-stop shop for baling contractors, McHale unveiled a twin-rotor rake three years ago. We take a look at the smaller of the two, the R62-72, which logically indicates this is a 6.2m to 7.2m working width machine. Read on to discover if the rest of the rake makes as much sense

There are two models in the McHale rake range, the R62-72 and the larger R68-78. Beyond their working width there are other subtle differences between the two, with the smaller machine having 11 tine arms compared to the 13 on the 6.8m to 7.8m model; the latter also has six wheels under each rotor with central greasing versus four 170/60-8 tyres and individual lubrication. The options list is also minimalistic — there’s a spare wheel … and that’s your lot.
