toodeep 1,758 Posted September 28, 2023 Our new rake tried to give itself a new folding option earlier this year. I didn't catch the bolts coming loose (wasn't really looking for problems on a new peice of equipment) so I got a surprise. I'm just glad it happened later in the day and not 5 in the morning. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_Wilson_™ 6,585 Posted September 29, 2023 Sweet! ^^^^^ Old school ! Like those bar rakes a lot better then those finger tine wheel rakes... but what fun it is to replace those wheel rake tines when just one needs replacing the worst model... we ever had was a 10 wheel (5 on one side) m and w (I think that's it ?) maybe w and m ? .... what a junk pile those things are.... or used to be... new idea..disk mower. is another failure... hex shaft drive bar << (new idea) verses strait cut gear drive... they are ear piecing loud but bad to the bone....

I screwed up when I bought the Deere 2640 without a front end loader, thinking I could add one later. The tractor was $5K back about 15 years ago. The same tractor with a FEL was about $7500 at the time. The FEL by itself is about $3-4K for a worn out one, or $7-8K for a new one. Live and learn. Get the implements WITH THE TRACTOR. Much cheaper to do it that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
