Do you have a question about the New Holland HT152 and is the answer not in the manual?

This document provides specifications for the New Holland HT152 and HT154 Trailing Wheel Rakes, agricultural implements designed for raking hay or other crops. These machines are available in various configurations, primarily distinguished by the number of raking wheels, which directly impacts their working width and overall capacity.

Function Description

The New Holland HT152 and HT154 Trailing Wheel Rakes are designed to gather cut crops into windrows, facilitating subsequent baling or collection. The "trailing wheel" design indicates that the raking wheels are independently suspended and follow the ground contours, allowing for clean raking and minimizing soil contamination. The number of raking wheels determines the effective working width, with more wheels allowing for wider swaths to be raked in a single pass. The rakes are towed by a tractor, which also provides the necessary hydraulic power for any adjustments.

Across all models and configurations, several specifications remain consistent:

Transport width: 8'3" (2.5 m) – This standardized width is crucial for road transport and maneuverability through gates or narrow passages.
Overall height: 6'3" (1.9 m) – This dimension is important for clearance under bridges or in storage facilities.
Tire size: 205-75 x 15" – Standardized tires simplify maintenance and parts replacement.
Raking wheel diameter: 55" (140 cm) – This consistent diameter ensures uniform raking action across all models.
Number of tines/wheels: 40 – Each raking wheel is equipped with 40 tines, designed for effective crop gathering.
Max. field operating speed: 14 mph (22.5 kph) – This maximum speed indicates the efficiency with which the rake can operate in the field.

The minimum required tractor horsepower (hp) or kilowatt (kW) varies depending on the number of raking wheels, as larger rakes require more power to operate efficiently. Similarly, the weight of the rake increases with the number of wheels, reflecting the additional material and components.

Usage Features

The New Holland Trailing Wheel Rakes are designed for efficient and effective hay raking. Key usage features include:

Versatility: Available in a wide range of working widths (from 17'5" to 36'), allowing farmers to choose a model that best suits their field size and operational needs.
Consistent Raking: The independent suspension of the raking wheels, combined with the consistent 55" diameter and 40 tines per wheel, ensures clean and uniform windrow formation, even on uneven terrain.
High Operating Speed: A maximum field operating speed of 14 mph (22.5 kph) allows for quick coverage of large areas, increasing productivity.
Ease of Transport: A consistent transport width of 8'3" (2.5 m) across all models simplifies moving the rake between fields or for storage.
Tractor Compatibility: The varying minimum horsepower requirements allow for compatibility with a range of tractors, from smaller 30 hp (22 kW) models for the HT152 standard configurations to larger 55 hp (41 kW) tractors for the widest HT154 Deluxe models.

Maintenance Features

While specific maintenance details are not provided in this document, the general design and information suggest several aspects:

Standardized Components: The use of a consistent tire size (205-75 x 15") and raking wheel diameter (55") across all models likely simplifies parts inventory and replacement for owners.
Operator's Manual Importance: The "THINK SAFETY" message explicitly states, "Always make sure you and your operators read the Operator's Manual before using the equipment. Pay close attention to all safety and operating decals and never operate machinery without all shields, protective devices and structures in place." This emphasizes the critical role of the manual for proper operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance procedures. It implies that detailed maintenance schedules, lubrication points, and adjustment instructions would be found within the Operator's Manual.
Design for Durability: As agricultural equipment, these rakes are expected to be robust. Regular inspection of tines, wheels, and structural components, as outlined in the manual, would be essential for longevity.
Availability of Information: The provision of a website (www.newholland.com/na) and a toll-free number (866-NEW-HLND / 866-639-4563) indicates support for owners for parts, service, and additional information, which is crucial for maintenance.

In summary, the New Holland HT152 and HT154 Trailing Wheel Rakes are robust and versatile agricultural implements designed for efficient hay raking. Their range of configurations allows for adaptation to various farm sizes and operational requirements, while standardized components and clear safety guidelines contribute to their usability and long-term performance. Proper operation and maintenance, as detailed in the Operator's Manual, are essential for maximizing the life and efficiency of these machines.
