Spud Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 that day i was just turning it over in front of the baler because the wind blew the rows out of form but what happens is u mow the field with the mower conditioner then a couple days later we rake it what the rake dose is make 3 rows into 1 its a Custom made machine for this job mainly used on lucerne hay just makes bales titer also faster balling time rough diagram on how it works cheers Reece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spud Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 the 2 wings on the rake are PTO driven but the back rake is Hydraulic motor driven cheers Reece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Very interesting Reece. Does she pull that drill OK? It looks pretty substantial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(different i know but very simular) looks like it to me \ Quite similar Mike I agree.... I have seen some other cabs similar to this fitted to Canadian 200 series tractors as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurodeere Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Great pics Is that an aftermarket cab? I want to know more about that configuration of cab/tractor. I thought all 500 series came with the standard MF cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought all 500 series came with the standard MF cab. Nope it's an OEM cab... the Austrailian spec models had different cabs to ours.... not sure where they were made.... but I doubt it was the UK \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
