The Twinstar Generation 3 Basket Rake is the premier hay rake designed for commercial farming operations. This rugged built hay rakes is designed to rake two windrows together and for turning hay to speedup drying time prior to baling for high production hay farming, custom operators, dairies raking green chop and raking bio feed stocks. Twinstar Basket Rakes produce consistent uniform windrows and the cleanest hay on the market. Cleaner hay brings higher returns and provides the highest quality feed to ensure animals receive proper nutrients. Research has documented that basket raked hay contains significantly less contaminants (dirt, rocks, and debris) and has less leaf loss compared to traditional finger wheel and rotary rakes. Twinstar Generation 3 Hay Rakes are designed for functionality and longevity in today’s demanding markets. Twinstar 7-Bar Rakes are available in 27′ & 30′ approximate raking widths for windrowers equipped with 12′ to 18′ headers.

Features May Include

• Research proves that Basket Rakes produce cleaner hay compared to Finger Wheel and Rotary Rakes. Cleaner hay brings higher returns and provides more nutrients in hay and silage.
• Twinstar Baskets are designed with Stripper Bars that help carry the hay which helps produce cleaner hay, instead of dragging hay along the ground common with Finger Wheel Rakes.
• Twinstar Basket Rakes are hydraulically driven which allows the operator to control basket RPM speed for specific field or crop conditions. Controlling basket speed allows the operator to have less leaf loss in alfalfa hay. Rotary Rakes operate at higher rotor speed which can cause significant leaf loss raking alfalfa slowing basket RPM speed is gentler on hay and allows the operator to rake longer in the day.
• Twinstar Basket heights are easily adjustable which helps produce cleaner hay compared to ground driven Finger Wheel Rakes.
• Twinstar Baskets are designed with a forward and backward tilt features. Tilting the basket forward helps make a tighter windrow to assist in windy field conditions. Tilting the Basket backwards helps to form a fluffier windrow to assist in speeding up drying time.
• Twinstar Rake Baskets equipped with optional Gauge Wheels front and back allows the rake to pick up more crop than Finger Wheel Rakes.
• Commercial operators tell us Twinstar Basket Rakes produce cleaner hay & forage which means significantly less maintenance on their balers.
