What to do if the Blue Diamond POWER RAKE Farm Equipment rotor is not turning?

  Jennifer BrownAug 19, 2025
  If the rotor on your Blue Diamond Farm Equipment is not turning, several issues could be the cause. It might be due to a broken chain (replace the chain), a sheared key in the sprocket or rotor (replace the key), a bad hydraulic hose connection (check the hydraulic hose connections), or an obstruction between the rotor and frame (remove any debris). Also, hydraulics may not be engaged, so engage them. If none of these actions solve the issue, it may be due to a damaged motor shaft or seized motor, faulty hydraulic coupler (replace hydraulic coupler). In this case it is recommended to contact your dealer or Blue Diamond Attachments Service Department.

  If you're experiencing low pressure at startup or a slow-turning rotor with your Blue Diamond Farm Equipment, there are a few potential causes. The hydraulic couplers might be reversed; try reversing the male and female couplers and check for correct pressure. Another cause can be debris build up between rotor and frame, so remove the debris. It could also be a faulty relief valve on the power rake or machine, in this case contact your dealer or Blue Diamond Attachments Service Department.
