4 DESCRIPTION
4.1 Lely Hibiscus S
The Lely Hibiscus 425 S, 455 S and 485 S are mounted single-rotor rakes to
rake grass, hay and straw.
The rake has:
• A rotor
• Cam track
• Steering device
• Working height adjustment system
Rotor
The rotor has 11 (425 S, 455 S) or 13 tine arms (485 S), each with four
double tines per arm. The tines provide a clean sweep and move the grass
to the left side of the rake in a fluffy swath. The rotor wheel assembly
supports the rotor and makes sure the rotor follows the ground contour.
For transport the tine arms of the rotor can be removed and stored on
the frame.
Cam track
The adjustable cam track determines the pick and release moment of the
crop.
Steering device
The steering device makes the rake operate as a trailer in the field. The
rake can continue raking when it makes a turn. When the rake is lifted,
the steering device automatically centres the rake behind the tractor. For
road transport, the steering device must be locked.
Working height adjustment system
The rake has a winding handle to adjust the working height of the tines.
The tines should only just touch the ground. The working height can be
adjusted roughly by the position of the rotor wheels.
