1 INTRODUCTION
The LELY HIBISCUS 425, 455 and 485 (fig. 1) are hitch carried,
single rotor rakes for side delivery. The machine has 1 rotor with
either 11 or 13 tine arms, each equipped with 4 double tines.
The tines give a clean sweep and move the grass to left hand side in
an airy windrow.
As standard the HIBISCUS rake comes with a pivoting 3 point
linkage headstock giving the machine trailing characteristics. This
allows for the machine to continue raking operations even when
turns are made.
The tandem axle wheel assembly ensures an excellent raking
operation of this rake also when working in undulating fields.
2 LINKAGE TO THE TRACTOR

- Secure the tractor’s lower arms by means of stabilisation chains
or rods eliminating any sideways movements.
