Tractor rakes

Proper preparation of the soil for the sowing period is very important for optimal grass growth and harvest. The preparatory steps for sowing are:

• Carry out shallow ploughing or digging to prepare the soil and bring stones to the surface.
• After working the soil, lightly roll it to settle and compress the area concerned;
• Final levelling of the surface, to be carried out with a rake;
• Finally, for optimal sowing, spread the seeds evenly. Cover the seeds by raking the soil.

Tractor rakes offer numerous advantages over other manual or semi-automatic solutions for collecting plant material and maintaining the soil. Thanks to their sturdy design and the possibility of direct connection to the tractor, they are an efficient choice for those who need to cover large surfaces in a short time. The main advantages of these tools are described below:

• Operational efficiency: compared to manual methods of collection or levelling the ground, tractor-mounted rakes drastically reduce working time. Thanks to their adjustable working width and the power of the tractor, these tools can cover larger surfaces in a single pass.
• Versatility of use: tractor rakes can be used for a wide range of activities, including collecting hay, grass, leaves or cut branches. They are also suitable for levelling the ground in preparation for new crops, offering a level of flexibility that manual tools cannot guarantee.
• Adaptability to the terrain: thanks to adjustable wheels and the ability to set the height of the tines, tractor-mounted rakes can be used on terrain of varying conditions, from flat fields to rough terrain. This allows you to work on surfaces with unevenness or obstacles without compromising the collection of material.
• Reduced physical effort: using a tractor rake eliminates much of the manual physical labour required for harvesting operations. The tractor does all the heavy work, while the operator simply monitors and adjusts the implement, improving ergonomics and reducing fatigue.
• Durability and robustness: tractor-mounted rakes are constructed from durable materials, such as steel, designed to withstand harsh working conditions and last over time. This makes them a long-lasting solution compared to manual tools or lighter equipment, which tend to wear out more quickly.

Tractor-mounted rakes are designed with technical specifications that make them suitable for a variety of operational needs. The main technical features include the required tractor power, working width and other structural aspects that affect the performance of the implement. These features allow you to choose the most suitable model based on the type of activity to be carried out and the size of the area to be treated. Here is a list of the main technical features and a brief description of each:

• Tractor power: tractor rakes require tractors with varying power ratings, generally between 20 and 60 HP.
• Working width: this parameter varies from 150 to 210 cm, determining the amount of ground that the rake can cover in a single pass.

Let's now take a closer look at each of these features.

The tractor power required to use a rake depends on the model chosen and the robustness of the structure. Medium Series tractor-mounted rakes require a tractor power of between 20 and 60 Hp (Hp), making them suitable for small and medium-sized tractors. The power of the tractor directly affects the rake's ability to work on more or less difficult surfaces and with more or less heavy materials. Heavy Series models, designed for more demanding work, require a tractor-mounted with higher power to ensure maximum efficiency and operational life.

The working width of tractor-mounted rakes generally varies from 150 cm to 210 cm depending on the model and intended use. A larger working width allows you to cover a larger area in less time, making the process of collecting and levelling the ground faster and more efficient. Models with smaller widths, such as 150 cm, are suitable for smaller spaces or for terrain with obstacles, where manoeuvrability is essential. Conversely, rakes with working widths of 210 cm are ideal for large plots and large-scale operations, where the goal is to maximise productivity in a short time.

The power of the tractor, the working width and the type of activity to be carried out are key factors in choosing a rake. Below are some of the technical and practical features to consider carefully before purchasing:

• Tractor power: ensure that the tractor has sufficient power to pull the rake, which varies from 20 to 60 HP for medium or higher series models.
• Working width: select a width that is appropriate for the size of the terrain. For large plots, a width of 210 cm ensures efficiency, while for smaller spaces, a width of 150 cm may be more suitable.
• Adjustable wheels: the ability to adjust the height of the wheels allows the rake to be adapted to various types of terrain, ensuring precise collection even on uneven surfaces.

There are several customer profiles that can benefit from purchasing a tractor rake. Here are some examples with their relative needs and activities they might perform:

• Professional farmers: those who own large farms and need to cover large surfaces in a short time. For them, a Heavy Series rake with a working width of 210 cm is the best choice as it allows them to optimise hay or straw collection times.
• Medium-scale farmers: those who manage medium-sized farms can opt for Medium Series models. These models offer a good compromise between robustness and ease of use, allowing you to work efficiently on moderate-sized fields with a tractor power between 20 and 60 HP.
• Hobbyists and small farmers: for those who use low-power tractors and work on smaller plots of land, a Medium Series rake with smaller working widths (150-180 cm) may be suitable, still guaranteeing good performance without requiring a particularly powerful tractor.
