This is a model Krone SW710T 
It's a twin rudder hay rake. 
A few of the benefits 
and features of this rake
are that you can rake 
two rows together
or you can rake two individual rows.
The way this is accomplished is 
there are a set of hoses 
on the front of this rake. 
One set of hoses raises 
it up and down, 
the other set will move 
the rake side-to-side. 
What that does is if you're raking
two rows into one,
you take the curtain off 
of the side over here 
and that curtain will be added 
to the back of the rake for storage.
The curtain has a lever 
that can be loosened up, 
pulled out and stored behind it.
Your first row will be raked 
into the second rotor 
and then that hay wall will be raked 
up against the rear curtain.
The rear curtain can be moved 
in or out hydraulically depending on
how large the wind rotors are. 
If you want to rake 
two individual rows, 
say you have some heavier hay, 
you leave this curtain where it is
and that curtain is stationary 
so you're always doing 
two individual rows.
Some of the special features 
of this rake, 
you'll notice that the tines are 
very heavy duty 
as well as the tine arms much heavier
than some of the competition. 
Also, the way this tine arms
fit into the center gearbox
just have two bolts to hold 
each tine arm in. 
If ever in the future 
you need to replace the bearing, 
you only need to do 
is to pull those two bolts out, 
pull the whole assembly out, 
replace the bearing 
and put it right back in again. 
Those bearings run 
around the cam track 
and that's what changes 
the pitch of your teeth. 
Picks a hay up, 
throws up against the curtain.
Each one of these gearboxes 
and each rotor is maintenance free.
They're filled from the factory,
there's no need to check 
or refill any oil or fluids. 
Also on these rakes, we have 
a gauge wheel at the front
of each one of the rotors.  
This helps for contours 
as well as keeping the rotor steady
on the ground 
so it doesn't dig into the ground.
These rotors each have 13 tine arms,
a total of 26 tine arms. 
Many of the competition 
has less than that 
so this does a much better job 
of sweeping the ground clean. 
This particular model is 
just a standard draw-bar hitch. 
Some of the larger models 
actually have a two-point hitch 
such as the SW810 
which has a two-point with a swivel
on the back
and those rotors 
fold up vertically in the air.
This particular one transports
laterally. 
One rotor behind the other going 
on the highway 
and the transport width at 9' 10".
There each one of these rotors has
the diameter able to throw the hay 
up against the curtain at 11' 5" 
so if you're doing two rows, 
you get over 20' of working width. 
If you walk around to the back,
you'll notice that Krone has lights
as well as slow-moving vehicle signs
so you can plug in the light switch
to your tractor
for safety going down the road. 
Has nice heavy duty flotation tires
and when you lower your hydraulics
down to the height that you want 
the teeth off the ground, 
it can be adjusted 
with this multi-hole adjusting rod
right here. 
That's how you control the height 
of your teeth off the ground. 
Also if you want to change the tilt 
how far you want it 
to tilt up or down,
each rotor, the front and the rear
each has adjustment 
on the right wheel.
That will change your tilt, 
forward and backward.
