Helicopter Rake (Rotor Rake) – High Efficiency in Grass Collection and Aeration A helicopter rake is a modern agricultural equipment that collects the cut crop (alfalfa, grass, barley, oats, etc.) after mowing and forms it into a barrel (row), as well as ensures the aeration and even drying of the grass. The main advantage of this type of rake is that it speeds up the collection process without damaging the grass fibers and preserving the quality of the product. General Introduction Helicopter-type rakes (also called rotor rakes or drum rakes) receive the power of the tractor through the PTO (tail shaft) and, thanks to the rotating drums, direct the grass mass and neatly form it into rows. This is considered the most important preparatory stage before the baling or grass collection process. Technical Advantages 🔹 Clean and neat collection – Rotating rotors collect every part of the grass evenly, preventing it from mixing with the soil. 🔹 Grass aeration and quick drying – The rake lifts the grass mass and removes moisture underneath, which reduces the drying time. 🔹 Low energy consumption – Lightweight construction and balanced system minimize the load on the tractor. 🔹 Fast work process – Large areas can be mowed in a short time thanks to the wide working width (models between 2.8 and 4.5 meters). 🔹 Harmless collection – Allows collection without breaking grass fibers or damaging leaves. 🔹 Adjustable angles – The angle and height of the rotors can be changed according to the density of the grass. 🔹 Easy transportation – Thanks to the folding system, it takes a safe and compact position when leaving the field and when being transported on the road.
