Massey Ferguson introduced the new RK Series rotary rake in three models:

• Model RK3824 — Single Basket, 13.5 ft right delivery;
• Model RK3855 – Twin Basket, 27.5 ft with either right side delivery or two single windrows, and
• Model RK3879 – Twin Basket, 26.6 ft center-delivery

The RK Series rotary rakes feature a heavy-duty frame and are equipped with the exclusive ROTORFLEX™ Rotor Suspension system, which lets the rakes closely follow the contour of your field through dips and over hills for a cleaner job of raking, without getting debris into the crop. Heavy-duty, large-diameter tine arms and extra tough tines will handle the wear and tear of long hours in the field. In addition, the drive system features helical cut gears to provide more torque than straight-cut gears as well as to deliver longer driveline and rotor life.

Standard tandem wheels support the rotors as they travel across the field, allowing better ground contour, stability and flotation. The Massey Ferguson RK3855 and RK3879 feature a sturdy running gear with narrow transport and steerable rear transportation wheels which carry the chassis and also provide greater maneuverability in the field and during road transportation.

Sealed-grease gearboxes deliver smooth movement and minimize opportunity for damage. The main drive gearboxes automatically swivel when the machine is folding to prevent damage to the driveline. A simple hydraulic system and overrunning clutches help prevent operator errors that could damage the machine. Visit your local Massey Ferguson dealer or www.masseyferguson.com for more information.
