Hay rake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A hay rake is an agricultural rake used to collect cut hay into windrows for later collection (e.g. by a baler). It is also designed to fluff up the hay and turn it over so that it may dry.

A hay rake may be mechanized, drawn by a tractor or draft animals, or it may be a hand tool.

[edit] Rotary tedder

A rotary tedder is a mechanical hay rake attached to a tractor's three point hitch. It is also connected to the tractor's power take-off. There are large wheels on the tedder with tines on them to flick over the hay, driven by the tractor's power take-off. When there has been rain and the windrow is wet wet, the tedder can be used to turn the row over so that it can dry out.
