Once you have safely arrived at your work site, lower
your rake with the 3-Point hitch control lever so that the
rake is just barely off of the ground. Lock the tractor brake
to prevent rolling, shut off the tractor, and remove the
ignition key before dismounting. Make the necessary
angle, pitch, and gauge wheel adjustments to the rake to
achieve desired results.
• Changing the rake angle to left or right will distribute
extraneous and oversized material in furrows to the left
or right.
• Changing the pitch angle of the rake by adjusting the
top link in or out to tilt the bottom in toward the tractor
will result in more aggressive action and vice-versa.
• Setting the proper height on the adjustable gauge
wheels will enable a consistent raking that is less
affected by uneven ground conditions encountered by
the tractor wheels.
After you have made your initial adjustments and
settings, get back on the tractor and make a gear and
engine rpm selection that will enable a ground speed
safe and suitable for your ground and operating
conditions. Lower the rake into operating position and
begin working. Achieving the desired affect may require
additional adjustments.
With a little practice you should begin to consistently
achieve the desired results. Always keep safety
uppermost in your mind and remember that before
dismounting the tractor you must always set the park
brake, lower your 3-Point attachment to the ground, turn
off the tractor and remove the ignition key. If you must
park on a hillside you should always chock the tractor
wheels for an extra measure of safety.
