The crop-driven 12- and 14-wheel WRX wheel rakes, from Vermeer, Pella, IA, boast raking widths extending up to 24' 8" and 28', respectively.
The rakes also feature Duraball Wheels, with a double-tooth rake wheel configuration that reduces the sharp bends required and designed into single-tooth setups. That reduces wear, tear and replacement costs.

MacDon introduces a conditioner roll opener for its 2003 Model 722 hay conditioners that mount to its auger headers. The opener engages with a flip of a switch, permitting the operator to unplug the conditioner without leaving the cab. A hydraulic cylinder opens the rolls, allowing the plug to feed through. Rolls then automatically resume their original position.
