“The Silencer” Saves Rake Teeth
 ✖  |
“We bought a new rake and didn’t want to destroy it in corn stalks,” says Sueltz. “We came up with The Silencer as a way to reinforce the rake teeth and dampen the vibrations as the teeth come off ground contact.”
The Silencer consists of 1-piece plastic bands that slip over the teeth and bolt together on the ends.
“If the teeth are in good shape, installing The Silencer takes about 5 min. per wheel,” says Sueltz.
Sueltz says the bands reduce damage in rough conditions. They also enhance the aggressiveness of the rake teeth in hay fields.
“We’ve had customers who were breaking 100 teeth a year report they are down to virtually none,” says Sueltz. “We’ve found the teeth don’t skip over as much hay in the field, and they are much quieter as they flex over the ground.”
The Silencer is priced starting at $55 per wheel depending on model of the rake.
