• High Capacity 3-in-1 Rake

Fair Manufacturing’ s High Capacity 3-in-1 rake is the all-inone hay tool for your operation. The superior suspension system provides unmatched ease of transport and flotation, with the ability to go from the highway to field-ready in seconds, without leaving the seat.

Sixty-inch spring steel rake wheels with wind guards and teeth reinforcement bands are standard on every machine, providing the durability needed to tackle corn stalks while simultaneously allowing flexibility for gentler crops. Requiring only a single hydraulic remote, this rake is controlled with an easy-to-use weatherproof control box, allowing you to safely use it with an open or closed hydraulic system.

As always, every piece of equipment is backed by the company’ s team.

The WR12 12-wheel hay rake is built for efficiency, clean raking and easy operation. Its mid-capacity design gathers maximum crop while minimizing dirt and ash with a contour-following tandem wheel action.

The rake features suspension, allowing consistent wheel flotation with adjustable ground pressure for cleaner hay and straw.

A synchronized arm lift, powered by a hydraulic flow divider, raises both arms simultaneously for fast end-of-row turns. The headland lock feature saves time by partially lifting arms for quick repositioning. Single-side raking is easy with a lockout bypass valve, letting you control which side to lower. Toolless adjustability lets you fine-tune width, rake arm angle and pressure on the go. A transport lock secures arms during travel, and an optional kicker wheel helps incorporate all material into the windrow for even moisture and quality.

The WR12 measures 23 feet long, weighs 1,900 pounds and adjusts pickup width from 18 feet, 11 inches to 24 feet, 5 inches.

• Accumul8 Bale Accumulator

The Tubeline Accumul8 gives producers time-savings for one of farming’ s biggest jobs. The Accumul8 is your solution for handling bales efficiently – saving you time and manpower. This accumulator handles eight, 10 or 12 bales at one time, allowing one person to quickly gather and load wagons or highway trailers. The Accumul8’ s mechanical design requires no external hydraulics, power takeoff or electrical connections. Each bale triggers a series of switches, guiding the net bale into proper location and then releasing the entire pack when full. The 10- bale model is designed to stack bales ready for road travel.

Each pack of 10 bales includes two bales positioned in the opposite direction. This cross-over pattern strengthens the tack as it builds by tying the bales together. Maximizing the width of your highway trailer, the 10-bale pack is 8 feet wide, making your load efficient and legal width for roadway travel in most areas.

Keep your farm operating efficiently with the addition of the Tubeline Accumul8.
