Quick and undamaged delivery, comes crated and unassembled, but assembly is easy and instructions are concise. In operation, works excellent. I prefer a heastock (3 point) rake versus a trailing rake because it's much easier to obtain straight windrows and the headstock rake is much easier to raise at the end of the windrow (no hydraulic cylinders and complex hook up needed). Couple things to keep on mind however. One, you cannot back the rake in the lowered position, not even a foot, or you'll bend the wheel stops, not that you should ever back and rake in the operating position anyway and secondly, the rake (like any rotary rake) is designed for alfalfa or shorter stemmed grasses, not for raking wheat straw or long stemmed grasses. Compared to say a Kuhn rotary,it's quite a bargain. The mechanical's are quite robust and should last a very long time with proper greasing and maintenance. The 'oil filled turning head ships dry so be sure to fill it with gear oil (90 weight) and grease the turning head as well as the all the arms before using. — ARD Farms from MI
