Hibiscus Rakes

Smarter, Faster, Stronger!

Three powerful words that say exactly why Lely's equipment stands out from our competitors.

Smarter!
	Ro-tine - Rake tines have to meet various demands: flexibility to ensure good ground following, sufficient rigidity for a precise working depth as well as the potential to move large volumes of grass. The special shape of the Hibiscus Ro-tines makes sure that all of these demands are met.
	1525 Vario - A perfect example of practically focussed thinking on the part of our engineers. A hydraulic ram gives the steered rake wheels an extra angle allowing the machine to be used to produce two swaths, or reducing the rake's working width.
	Head-Lock - Lifting a single rotor rake on headlands has now become far easier due to the Head-Lock system. A pivot point that moves in two directions restricts the machine's free range of movement when making turns, so that the machine can be lifted on headlands quicker.
Faster!
	Ground contour following - Ground contour following becomes ever more critical as rotors become larger. The Octosense carriage of the 1015 Profi model is a fine example of ideal stability without any compromise to the rotor's freedom of movement. Tandem and pendulum axles ensure that the rotors run smoothly.
	Hibiscus 485 - The three point Hibiscus model 485 and the trailed type model 485 P are the largest single rotor rakes in today's market place. Thirteen tine arms ensure ample capability for the 3.80 m wide rotor. High output at a low investment!
	Transport - The 1525 and 1315 models are excellent examples of machines featuring effective and compact transport. The transport position is very narrow and - notwithstanding the large rotor diameter - easily remains within four metres. This makes it easy to operate and manoeuvre on small fields at a high speed.
Stronger!
	Hibiscus 1015 Profi - When combining exceptional output with a long machine life for the largest double rotor rake, no compromises have been made. This starts with the 15 arm rotor.
	Solid fixation of double tines Tine fixation - This unique tine fixation eliminates the problem of tines being clamped so tightly that any strain will cause fatigue and hence reduced tine operation.
	Chrome steel - All tine arm shafts are made of chrome steel. This high quality material is outstandingly flexible and contributes towards a surprisingly strong rotor.
