Streamline your hay harvesting — fluff, gather, and windrow with ease using one rugged, pull-type wheel rake.
The BEFCO HRC Wheel Rake is a heavy-duty, ground-driven "V"-wheel hay rake designed to make hay and straw collection faster and more efficient. Built for tractors from approx. 30–80 HP, this pull-type rake is ideal for farms, ranches, or any operation handling hay, straw, or forage — whether you’re prepping crop for baling or turning existing windrows for faster drying.
Thanks to floating rake wheels with spring-steel tines that follow ground contours, the HRC gently lifts hay without dragging dirt, keeping material cleaner and preserving forage quality.
Its hydraulic folding frame reduces transport width to 8 ft, making it easier to move between fields or store — but once deployed the rake can cover large swaths (over 21 to 25 feet depending on model), reducing the number of passes needed and saving you time.
For hay producers looking for a reliable, low-maintenance rake that balances power, coverage, and ease of transport — the HRC series gets the job done with minimal fuss.
Ground-Driven, Pull-Type Design
No PTO required — the rake self-propels as the tractor pulls, simplifying hookup and reducing mechanical complexity.
Floating Wheel Rakes with Spring Tines
Wheels adapt to uneven terrain while spring-steel tines gently lift hay, minimizing dirt pickup and preserving forage quality.
Hydraulic Folding Frame
Folds hydraulically to an 8′ transport width — easy to move between fields or store — yet unfolds to wide working widths for efficient field coverage.
Wide Working Widths (21′4″ – 25′7″)
Large coverage reduces passes needed, cutting fuel use and operator time — ideal for mid-sized to large hay operations.
Adjustable Raking & Windrow Settings
Customize raking width, windrow width, and rake angle to match crop conditions and achieve uniform, well-formed windrows for baling.
Durable Tapered Roller-Bearing Hubs
Heavy-duty greasable hubs with tapered roller bearings deliver rugged long-term performance — even under challenging field conditions.
