The simple and very robust construction has made the Combi Rake RV attractive all over the world and the model is by far the most powerful on the market. Fransgård has been manufacturing this type of rake for more than 30 years, which has contributed to extensive know-how in this type of machines.
The rake is used for many purposes such as spreading grass and hay, aerating a straw swath and raking up the materials. When aerating, the swath is moved 60-70 cm to the side, leaving it at the same time in a high airy even swath.
Efficient rake for spreading, aerating and collecting
The RV rake is available in 2 sizes with a working width of 3.0 m or 3.9 m and with 2 or 4 wheels as standard. The rake is fitted with a gimbal between the rotors to avoid stoppages.
The rake is built in a robust construction with specially hardened crown/gear-pinions above each rotor and strong U-iron at the bottom, where the spring-loaded rake springs are mounted. The disc springs are moved from the raking to the spreading position without using tools.
The centrifugal force pushes the springs down into the working position. If they hit a stone or a hole in the field, they are raised up instead of going into the ground. During transport, the rake is manually turned behind the tractor.
Gear house
The durable crown wheel and gear-pinion are well protected in the gear housing above each rotor and lubricated via the lubricating nipple mounted on top of the housing.
Main frame
In the main frame between the rotors is the strong connecting axle, which ensures stable operation and high efficiency (no slipping v-belt).
