The enclosed rake head from Massey Ferguson protects all of the important components against dirt and dust. This design is a guarantee of a long service life.

The optimised shape of the cam track, which is made of spheroidal graphite cast iron, provides maximum smooth running and quick, precise lifting of the tines.

Due to the fully cardanic rotor suspension and weight distribution of the rotor, the rotor lifts first at the front and then at the back. When lowered, the rear wheels of the rotor first make contact with the ground followed by the front wheels.

Damage to the sward by the tines is safely avoided even in hilly terrain. With Massey Ferguson, tidy raking work is always achieved without forage loss – resulting in top quality forage.

The Fully Cardanic Rotor Suspension ensures perfect ground adaptation even under the most difficult of working conditions. The rotor can adapt itself perfectly to the ground and independently of the frame, whether inclined longitudinally or transversely.

In this way, the tines are prevented from penetrating into the ground. No penetration, no damage to the sward, no forage contamination – top quality forage.

MF offers a patented steering system for the rake which operates within the frame. The steering shaft is protected against damage by the frame and, unlike externally located steering rods, has only two pivot points.

The steering movement is transferred from the steering shaft to the wheels with the aid of the stub axle steering with adjustable track rods. The track rods are fitted with high-precision conical heads to ensure durability over many years of use.

The key benefit of this steering system design lies in the positive and direct transmission of the steering movement. The rake always runs exactly in the track of the tractor and is at the same time, still extremely agile.

Best raking quality is achieved with the tangential arrangement of the tine arms, creating an ideal swath. It makes significantly higher working speeds possible – the best pre-requisites if the harvesting weather is not in your favour.

The lowest transport height is always achieved regardless of the pre-selected working width. Because of the automatic height limitation in the headland position, it is no longer necessary to switch off the tractor PTO on headland turns.

The working width can be adjusted without tools and, combined with the externally adjustable control cam, enables the creation of an optimum swath for the machines following on behind.

Each rotor chassis on the MF RK 862 PRO and MF RK 1002 PRO is equipped with  a tandem axle and six,18-inch wheels and tyres for optimum performance.

The twin leading wheels have also been redesigned.. Larger and rigid-mounted, they ensure accurate ground following - even under difficult conditions in stubble fields. 

MF side delivery rakes provide the perfect flexible solution in all terrains. With these rakes it is possible to deposit two narrow swaths, one large swath or a double swath by making a return pass.

Large overlaps between rotors ensure a tidy forage transfer and swath formation even under difficult working conditions.

This drawbar mounted model has a transport width of less than 3m with the tines mounted for fast field-to-field movements. Whilst on the transport chassis models the lowest folded height is always ensured irrespective of the set working width.

With four rotors and working widths of 12.5 and 14m these high capacity rakes provide the optimum swath for large square balers and self-propelled forage harvesters.

The simple yet extremely robust construction of the MF Four-Rotor Rakes mean they are easy-to-operate for increased flexibility when used on more than one farm.

In order to be safe at all times when travelling, the machine is equipped with a high performing air brake system, which allows you to carry out difficult operations in hillside situations.

Equipped on MF RK 1254 TRC model. This system controls the delayed raising and lowering of the rear pair of rotors and enables you to deposit perfectly-formed swaths at the headland.

For customers whose application does not require a air braking system to be fitted, the MF RK 1254 TRC EC is also available without brakes and with the option of hydraulic brakes.

The MF RK 1254 TRC Gen2, MF RK 1254 TRC-PRO Gen2 and MF RK 1404 TRC-PRO Gen2 are designed for a transport speed of up to 50 km/h*, which ensures quick journeys from field to field. *Country specific

The MF RK 1254 TRC-PRO Gen2 and MF RK 1404 TRC-PRO Gen2 feature full ISOBUS operation of all rake functions for the ultimate in control and convenience.

The MF RK 1404 TRC-PRO gen2 can feature the Section Control option. This precision farming solution allows to manage various applications. The fully automatic Section Control raises the rotor arms to avoid overlapping.
