Make hay while the sun shines

Discounts on the Sitrex Pro 17 and 19 V-wheeled hay rakes are available at selected dealers. In stock now and ready for expedited delivery, the limited stock is expected to sell out quickly.

The Sitrex Pro 17 and 19 hay rakes have large raking wheels that angle back to about 70 degrees, giving a better lifting motion to windrow your crop.

The uneven number of wheels on each side is designed to prevent clumping and the need for a centre kicker wheel. The short side pulls the crop into the windrow and then the long side transfers the crop back to combine and complete the windrow.

With a maximum working width of 9.6 m, the Pro 17 is suitable for all types of crop and leaves a square, uniformed windrow.

The Sitrex Pro series hay rake is quiet and delivers a clean pick-up with very little dust. It has wheel covers to protect the crop from the wind and reduce crop friction to flow into the windrow better.

It is user-friendly with all adjustments done on the move using the electro-hydraulic control panel. The tines are fitted inside a flexible rubber mount and provide soft handling of the crop.

The raking wheels are supported by an overhead frame and rocker axles with large tyres for tight turning areas and smoother raking. This is

a real improvement on V rakes that only have outside support wheels.

The Pro 17 is fast and efficient with the ability to rake about 15ha/hour.

Sitrex says a rotary rake does not perform as well in broadacre paddocks of cereals or lucerne. However, the Pro series raking action operates smoothly across the seed-drilled plant lines for better raking and machine life.

The Pro 17 can also run behind a utility, which is not possible with a rotary rake.

Sitrex has an excellent reputation, firstclass engineering and a very competitive price-to-specification ratio.
