Hay Rakes For Sale in Iowa

All About Hay Rakes

People have been making hay for thousands of years. That’s why, despite the fact that hay rakes have been around for more than a century, you could say that they are relatively new tools. In any case, hay rakes are useful for collecting hay in windrows for easier collection and baling. If you’d like to know a bit more about hay rakes and how you can use them around your farm, check out this guide from Agrivision Equipment. 

Hay Rake Designs

Earlier hay rake designs like parallel-bar rakes have been replaced by more modern and efficient designs like rotary rakes, wheel rakes, and belt rakes. Each hay rake type has its pros and cons. Some are simpler and thus easier to maintain, while others are better at working with wet hay. If you plan to purchase a hay rake, do a little research into the different types to find one that works for you. 

Size and Capacity

Hay rakes come in many sizes. Bigger rakes can do work in the same amount of time, but they also take more room. Smaller farms are usually better served by smaller hay rakes that are easier to store. When shopping for hay rakes, think about the size of your farm and how much hay you plan to make.
