Choose from two cabs, depending upon model. A unique spring over shock assembly on the cab, along with a standard air ride seat suspension, combines to make smooth work of rough fields. An air spring chassis suspension system – an industry first – is available to smooth your ride at high field speeds. Standard hydraulic header flotation and hydraulic header tilt provide on-the-go adjustment needed in varying ground conditions. To ease daily maintenance chores all service points are at ground level, including fuel fill, all filters and lube points.

Macerator 6610 – AgLand Industries Inc.
The Macerator 6610 provides farmers with the equipment they need to produce higher quality hay in less time. Maceration decreases drying time significantly by gently nicking the stem, resulting in more palatable hay with better color and nutrition. Four attachments are available: swath spreader, windrower, moldboard merger, and tedder. The Macerator has been tested on a wide variety of hays and grasses and has proved to be even more positive than first anticipated.

Circle C Equipment
The Golden Eagle Wheel Rake was designed to help with the challenges in raking or merging hay & forage crops. The depth band feature really works to eliminate dirt and rocks when raking or merging. This feature also increases tine life to more than five times of conventional wheel rakes.

The large rakes have done a great deal to help the farmer cut down fuel costs by merging three swaths into one or two windrows. The Eagle Rake also helps the farmer get more done in a short amount of time.

Bootsma LLC
Our swather front-mounted hay rake features an easy hook-up to swather from header to rake and back to header. Get twice the use from your swather power unit. The electric control panel in-cab adjusts the rake hydraulically to field conditions, on the move, in full view of operator. Hay is windrowed in front of the swather and passes underneath, preventing driving over of crop. Hydrostatic steering allows you to turn back into the next windrows without stopping. When disconnected from power unit, the rake folds to 8’-6” wide. Five years of testing on a 1,200-acre hay farm has proven its durability and reliability.
