New Holland Procart rake review

[@deanbrown4512]

I bought the 10 wheel , I like it real well. Especially like being able to raise the front wheels in heavy crop. Good purchase

I'm glad you like it. Ours has been a true blessing. We just grease it, pull it out of the shed and go. It's been over a bunch of land and NO problems at all. Enjoy!

I got a H&S X rake that come from up your way i bought it thru mead tractor i love that rake i have yet 2 find any thing it wont rake ...the best thing about it is all the adustments pins for the angel of sides and if i want a 3ft windro i just mash the hydraulic lever and i can go from a foot to 6ft i realy like that

OK thanks just wanted to see what you thought since you have one of these rakes I think I'm gonna try one without the kicker wheel they priced me one and hour and a half away for 6500 with kicker and 5750 without kicker local dealer wants 7400 I can always add it later if I need it . thats for a pc1022 . I appreciate your response and like watching your videos keep them coming !! Thanks

I like these rakes I hope to purchase a 10 wheel one soon do you think the optional kicker wheel would ever be necessary we mow with a 9ft haybine and normally kick our hay just wondering what you think about the kicker wheel or if you ever wished you had it?

[@roachfamilyagriculture2417]

We mainly rake behind the 13 1/2 ft. machines with this rake taking two windrows, however when we get behind or cut fields with roads so narrow we cannot get the big cutters in there we rake behind the 10 ft. machine taking 3 windrows. In those type cases normally the hay is completely dry and there is no need for the kicker wheel. Also in a situation where you use a tedder on a regular basis the kicker isn't needed. My last rake (Kuhn SR108) I bought the kicker wheel and rarely used it....so I really see it as money wasted 90% of the time.

You know that the New Holland rakes are Made by Sitrex......Only you can get them in Green

[@roachfamilyagriculture2417]

Im not sure who makes them but it isn't New Holland. I have seen a third "brand" that appears to be the same rake as well. The rake continues to do a good job in the field but the hydraulic cylinders will start to leak down in the raised position after some age. This is a common and on going problem that New Holland will not address at all after the short warranty period. NOT happy about that at all. I have made a "safety" chain to assure the wings don"t come down during road transport.

Our first 10 wheel rake was a Hew Holland...... We used it 3 years sold it and bought 4 Sitrex Rajes in crates from the J.D. dealer..... 2 red and silver 2 green and silver..... Exactlly alike and same as Hew Holland.......You have to extend the cylinders so the wings break over center....... Cylinders are linked together so oil will transfer from one side to the other, depending on which side has the most leverage caused by weight.... Breaking the wings over center to the middle neutralizes that leverage.........I doubt very seriously that you torcher you rakes like we do,,,,,,

Where's the kicker wheel

[@roachfamilyagriculture2417]

We rake two windrows of a 13.5' cutter together so it turns both windrows fully, therefore the kicker wheel is not needed. Kicker wheels are available from New Holland on these models if you like.
