The innovative engineering on all McHale centre delivery rakes is based on a high-quality, heavy-duty design.

Following testing in some of the world’s most difficult conditions, a robust and durable chassis design ensures efficient and reliable operation in all types of terrain.

The McHale R 62-72 twin-rotor centre delivery rake offers a number of different working widths from 6.2 to 7.2 metres (20’ 4” – 23’ 7”). The variable working width is adjusted hydraulically using a spool in the tractor cab.

All McHale rakes come with Rotor Height Adjustment as standard, ensuring a clean delivery of crop to the swath. By adjusting the height of the rotors, the operator can reduce soil contamination in the swath.

The rotors on all McHale rakes are controlled by a smooth-running cam track. The grease filled cam track is a sealed unit providing a longer life and uses two high quality bearings on each tine arm. These
bearings are specially designed and sealed in order to reduce wear. If required, the rotor arms can be easily replaced by removing just three bolts.

All McHale rakes are equipped with Individual Rotor Lift as standard which is controlled using a single acting spool and in cab control box.

In order to prevent damage to your baler or harvester, all McHale rakes are equipped with Tine Savers.

For operator convenience, all McHale rakes are fitted with easily removable tine arms. The profile of the tine arm is designed with a
simple and positive holder which prevents twisting and bending.

Connected to the headstock of the machine, this steering system follows perfectly behind the tractor when in transport and during field operation to leave na neat swath on corners or bends. It also allows for
even the tightest of gateways to be easily navigated upon entry or exit of the field.

McHale rakes are equipped as standard with wide tyres to give excellent stability on the road and minimise compaction in the field.

All McHale rakes are equipped with a pivoting headstock for an enhanced movement range of up to 80°, allowing easy navigation of difficult turns. The headstock also has a transverse range of movement for working on uneven terrain. The headstock is fitted with Cat II linkage mounts for easy attachment by the operator to various size tractors

The McHale rake range is fitted with a wide-angle Y-Shaped drive line which is positioned on top of the chassis. Power is transmitted through heavy-duty tubing using Walterscheid drive shafts.

The drive shaft covers allow for easy and simple access to all greasing points without the need for any untidy anti-rotation chains on the shaft guards. The use of these guards’ results in improved operator safety by delivering guards with a longer service life

Both rotors are fitted with Tine Arm Cam Adjustment to allow the speed at which the crop is distributed to the row to be adjusted. The cam angle for the tine arms can be simply adjusted to cater for all working widths and crops. Operators can choose from 1-8 positions to determine when the crop is released to the swath.

The R 62-72 is designed to deliver a tight turning movement and high output. The low-maintenance steering system is effective in even the tightest turns.

The cranked tines on each tine arm guarantee the cleanest sweep,
delivering uncontaminated fodder into the aerated swath. All tines have a diameter of 10mm and also feature three coils, ensuring an easy flow of crop is delivered to the swath while remaining gentle on the ground.

For safe transportation on the road, the rotors fold up and move down into the locking position delivering a transport height under 4m.
