Add-On Rake Wheels Widen Baler Pickup

Add-On Rake Wheels Widen Baler Pickup BALERS Rick Simmonds doesn’t like to leave any Bermudagrass on the ground when he pulls his baler out of the field so he mounted salvaged rake wheels on either side of the baler pickup     “I use a big V-rake to make my windrows and sometimes the baler leaves a little at the edges ” says Simmonds “Adding the rake wheels to either side of the pickup helps clean up the fields ”         Simmonds made simple brackets to mount the wheels The inside wheel mounts to the jack mount and the outside wheel mounts to the pickup     “There is a pipe on the bottom of the pickup and I put a shaft into it and mounted the outside bracket to it ” says Simmonds “I used old angle iron and other scrap for the brackets ”     He likes the fact that the modification cost him nothing almost as much as he likes the fact that there is no waste hay     Even though he bales around 24 000 bales each year he appreciates every blade he can get “I hate to leave any hay in the field ” he says     Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Rick Simmonds 281 Richards Rd Macon Miss 39341 ph 662 361-8266
