It provides reliable raking performance for hay producers, livestock operations, and land managers who need consistent field results without complex hydraulic or PTO systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"724\" data-start=\"477\"\u003eThe ground-driven design operates directly from wheel contact with the ground, eliminating the need for hydraulics or PTO connections. This simplifies setup, reduces maintenance requirements, and allows quick attachment and operation in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1031\" data-start=\"726\"\u003eThe RS2 series is available in multiple configurations, including In-Line and V-formation models, allowing operators to choose the best setup for their field size and windrow requirements. Depending on configuration, the rake can be used for raking, turning, or spreading hay by adjusting wheel positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1301\" data-start=\"1033\"\u003eHeavy-duty cast steel hubs with greaseable tapered roller bearings provide long service life and smooth operation under demanding field conditions.
