Always a Good Video. I understand and i am glad you show the viewers. Some just do not understand anything. Good Job.

Wes bought a new rake last year it's a new Holland or sitrex it's raked over 500 acres without any problems at all. I am here in mountains of north Carolina it's rough and steep but holding together looks new nothing bent or broken if you choose that rake I thinking you will be pleased.. keep up good work really enjoy your channel

I have the 10 wheel new holland and the only thing you will not like is they have flow restrictors in the lines somewhere that makes them lift and lower slowly. I plan on getting rid of them when I have a chance. keep the vids coming!

Yeah experience changes opinions... I used to have the same thing about tractor brands but I've gotten to accept other brands. I used to be all about John Deere and fends but nowadays I drive new holland,case,international,steyr, and even Massey Ferguson,amongst some other brands, so it opened my eyes to the competition and I realized they too have cunning inventions and different approaches to certain issues. I remember the auto power on some John Deere tractors didn't know what gear to drive in so in the field it would auto change the gears all of the time. Then I got to drive a new holland with a gearbox that is comparable to the power quad gearbox with the main difference being the layout of the gears as the gear lever only went forward and backward. I think you know wich one I mean. I found that at the time that NH was doing a better job,so nowadays I can see the pros and cons for each brand individually. Thanks for the video Wes, it was good as ever 👍🏻

We have a new Holland. Love it!! My only complaint is the wings go up and down very slow. It can be fixed with larger hoses. For some reason they used 1/4" hose.

i really enjoy ur videos where you go look at new machines, do more if u can!

I have a NH Procart rake. We have had it a little over a season and like it very much. The independent rake springs seem to work quite well.

We bought a 1225 procart this year. The individual springs are a must on rough terrain.

Thanks for the informative rake video Wes.

we looked at the new Holland and a vermeer. the vermeer was a little cheaper and I liked the quality. I went with the vermeer. it has been six years now and I still havnt even replaced a tine. vermeer vr1224 you will not be disappointed.

I like the look of the new Holland. That lighter steel may be due to that extension sliding into the wing tube so they have a snug fit. I really like that you can unbolt and replace the ends of the wings if need be. Narrow transport is nice especially for the amount of time you're on the road with a lot of traffic. If I were picking between the two you showed us, the new Holland would be my choice. Not everything new holland makes is junk.

Never had any luck with a sitrix rake the steel was always very feeble would brake and crack easy and we bale at least 1000 acres or more a year and about 350 acres of rough ground we have had good luck with Kuhn rakes may be look at them also not saying they are the best just been very good to us in Oklahoma I like the peque rake in the video like the adjustable shocks for sure

Check out the hr12 ogden! We have had one for a couple years and love it! Very well built!

Leaving us hanging at the end haha, would be an incredible machine

Hey Wes since you like carted rakes check out the Vermeer VR 1224. We run two of them and work great. Built fairly heavy.

You can't go wrong with either especially Pequea. They have greatly improved over the years. I have a 4 star TT and love it. You won't need kicker wheel for your business...and I know you are not getting a BigM.

I like this video, every New Holland product is not a BB340 Crop cutter pick-up

I have 8 wheel New Holland with Kicker just like that, we bought it last year. That is and extension to add the 5th wheel. The independent wheels really help in the Indiana hills and uneven ground. :) Bought a Pequea tedder this year, and it is built like a brick shit house...

Rowse rakes made here in Nebraska are really nice too but pricey. Some are able to pull 3 windrows together if you want.

Very nice rake video Wes ,right Tim 😂😛😂😛

kuln makes a nice wheel rake too It's extra high clearance for extra heavy windrows. However, it looks very similar to the Mid-cap

they look like nice rakes thanks for the video wes

Might wanna look into a Kuhn wheel rake, very heavy duty. But heard nothing but high praise of the NH rakes

The New Holland Pro-cart rakes come with just 8 wheels to the dealer so that way if the buyer want ten wheels they put just the 2 wheel kit on just like that one or a 4 wheel kit.

Great video Wes

We're looking at getting a new rake too.

we got sitrex rakes in Australia bloke I worked for has got one never let him down, simple and strong rake

Would the Pequea WindrowPro rake do the job? I would take one tine wheel off each side so it would be a 15 tine wheel rake to reduce the raking width. The four tires would be better on those rough bumpy fields and you can still move the rake if you get a flat tire. The manufacturer is 'just down the road' so you can work on strengthening the design of the wheel arms, if they do custom builds i.e have them build you a custom mulch hay rake. (Putting on a proper truck trailer tow eye etc)

the farm were I work has a new Holland twelve wheel rake and it is the best rake we have ever had it is not easy to break

wes god I'm envious here in UK it seems to be always a struggle to make hay .cut it turn it many times just when its nearly dry its going to rain so bale and wrap been like this all season . I use a class 2700 rotery rake do you think a wheel rake could cope with the damp grass that i bale . if you visit a stealers yard when in UK bet you won't see one new or old good luck .....dave

get a header that puts 2 rows into one for jd windrower & rakes will be history !

I would like to suggest that if there is a Vermeer dealer around maybe you should look at one of them.

You should check out the ogdon hay runner. what i saw of it, it was very heavy duty for a wheel rake.

We have a10 wheel Kuhn, never had any trouble at all with it.

Should have checked out the direction of the drive shaft on the new Krone bailer.

Cool Vid Wes!

you use good parts from your old rake and build a good rake. the frame look pretty simple

The Pequea looks to be better or heavier built. And it is locally built for you in Pennsylvania.

I run the nh procart 1022, I paid 6500 for it,the sitrex you can get for 5500,I bought the new Holland for resale value

M & W makes an excellent rake too

Wes have you looked at a Kuhn?? I have an SRgII 12 wheel rake and love it. Much more adjustability than this new Holland rake. Look at the Kuhn!

you should look at a darf hay rake they are built f2f or the custom rakeing here in Calif

They had a good article in Wall Street journal last weekend about how much used equipment is on the market it's absolutely flooded. Companies leasing equipment like Volvo Deere and cat are taking a huge hit because nobody's buying new and if they are buying it's on the secondary market. Needless to say I'm in the market for a backhoe unreal the choices that are out there and the prices

I kinda like the peaque? rake. looks like its built good.

we have a Pequea rake and the only problem we have is it likes blowing out hydraulic cylinders. But these things will rake anything

question, what is the single wheel on the back of the rake used for? haven't seen that before on these types.

Hey, would you mind doing a review on those Kubota disc mowers in the background of this video one of these days? I know they are not what you need for your operation, but that is about the size I need for mine and I truly value your opinion!

I could spend all day looking around all that equipmen.

i had a sitrex exactly what the newholland looks like, try a an odgen hayrunner, great rake

have you looked at Rowse rakes built in Nebraska

I lived in the Midwest for a few years. Combine envy is a big thing there. You will lose social status if you don't have the latest machine. Of course it has to be green. SOME people buy red or yellow machines. They are shunned.

U can get a new NH twelve twentyfive twelve wheel rake four fiftyeight hundred here in Wisconsin!!

Well time to get a rotary rake to handle the heavy hay

nice video

We had the 8 wheel version of that rake and it was a great rake for us. Any updates on the 4320 & 4010? Btw great vids keep it up

I really like my 1225 new holland rake

One of each!

fastrac89 doesn't know his ass from his elbow...

Teasing us with the Big M... how rude^^

I work for a JD dealer in North East PA not far from you at all would you ever consider a 12 wheel Kuhn SR112?

You know you want those triple mowers just get em and cure the itch!

I will not give Wes any greif over what he wants.... do not neccesarily like the shade of green he likes so much but his older tractors are nice to see being worked on still cant figure out 3500 acres of hay though. Didnt think New Jersey had that much farmland in it

The first one looked like a giant vicon acrobat

im still here wes... i watch daily... i dont say much cause the key board warriors piss me off i think you would be crazy not to jump on a good deal like that... we all know how rake arms flex going down the road or working... a break is inevitable... 100% with your thoughts... good morning to all

Did you see your old baler? I usually see it in the ad in Lancaster Farming.

What about a v rake or just not a fan f those just wondering cause we have a v rake and we love it it's a Massey and we've had very good luck with it only a few problems like the hose for hydrolics blew but I believe that was on us

I think a big m would be a good investment if you have the acreage

A heavier rake that may last longer might be better in long run than a decent cheap rake. Your business model is one that needs a much heavier and beefier rake that will last with your use

Honestly I think you do alot of acres for some of your equipment. Not to mention road travel is a pain on some equipment especially if you farm far from home.

New developments and technology do more work better and faster. You're not talking about a tooth rake behind an F-20 Farmall, here!

You should get a Krone pto driven rake

Ha Ha Ha, yes, Wes, try the big-m for a demo..... mower and windrower in one..... plus it should have better steering than even your jd mower, as it's chassis is more like a combine.... Get those swaths done, then compare.... Come on Wes, you can try it.... 2 jobs at once, 3 times the mow width, it ads up.... should be better handling to...

Krone Big M are pretty good in my experience, but everyone has there own opinion.

2017 sitrex 6500.u assemble 6200 ive seen em also 6800.7200.

Some people don't realize there may not be a local dealer for some of these brands they're recommending...if the nearest Kuhn or Vermeer dealer is 200 miles away, what good is that? I'm sure Wes can be trusted to make a competent decision lol.

Why don't you trade your combine in towards something since your don't doing grain crops?

Krone North America is developing a wheel rake. I can get you in contact with R and D if you want to try one out.

Imagine going to the trouble of writing nobody cares on an internet thread. About as ironic as ironic can be.

Can you do a video with messick's walking around looking at the stuff they have in there yard

kid in a candy store

The only bad thing about those rakes and folding them on hills they roll easy.

need a new rake too I been using a nh rolabar for 20 years about wore out never used a wheel rake like to try one.

Just because one manufacturers tubing is larger means nothing it all falls to the tensile strength of the metal.

thank God the wheels are all independent

hey wes have you looked into an enorossi?

vermeer r2800. last you 4 times as long as any wheel rake you can buy plus your windows will be a lot better. I put buying one for years finely got sick of these junk wheel rakes breaking down halfway through hay season.

I dont think I would trade my tr 96 on a 9060.... some say they are slower in some crops than the tr combines. Id go with a 9070 or 9080

That seems like a common h&s trend being built nice but not heavy duty.

Is your one of your H&S rakes for sale. If so how much?

I hope no sky divers accidently land in that lot .

Those New Holland rakes are made by Enorossi, aren´t they?

I'd go with a Kuhn myself...

Maybe talk to them saying your compliment, complaints and recommendations and offer to test them for them and you never know they might be interested, as you have a audience; they get free advising and you get a free rake to use.

Please support the local made Pequea over the Italian made New Holland. Of corse that is is price permits. Pequea manufacturing is a great company.

Buy a Pequea. Keep me in a job. 👍

if you are doing such heavy hay and you are tearing the h and s up, why go bigger? just curious. I am sure the tough stuff you do with them will tear the holland up too. mebbe not. not being a troll, just curious

I priced a new holland 8 wheel Vrake here in Ontario and they wanted 9000 so I bought a Kuhn

Did not know that Kubota made a MoCo

I think it's pair not pare. Cheers Wes

its like being in a sweet shop but for farmers.....
