Rake: GET READY FOR NEXT SEASON
Helpful tips and tricks to get your Rake prepared to operate at it’s maximum capacity through the season.
Vicon rakes are known for being low maintenance. However being prepared for the coming season by giving your machine a preseason health check will ensure top performance whilst keeping downtime to a minimum.
Ensure all safety guarding is fitted and functions correctly.
Check the condition and pressures of all tyres. Replace or adjust if necessary.
Check all steering and pivots points. Greasing if necessary.
Check the condition and functionality of all Road lights. Repair/replace if necessary.
Check all Tines, safety fixings and Tine arms for wear or damage. Ensure all fixings are tight. Replace if necessary
Make sure all PTO drive lines and joints are clean and lubricated.
Check all hydraulic hoses and connections. Replace if necessary.
The flexible Vicon Rake Tines do not touch the ground during work,
significantly reducing the risk of dirt being collected into the windrow. The durable tines leave a fluffy and well-shaped windrow.
