OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
OPTIONAL KICKER WHEEL
There are two optional center kicker wheel assemblies available for the 1460-1660 Hi-Capacity Rakes. If the
hay is laying out flat, these extra wheels allow you to raise the hay laying in the center of the rake out of the
stubble for faster drying, and easier pick-up. A separate cylinder controls the kicker wheel assembly. It
raises and lowers with the rake wheels.
