Kubota Rakes

Kubota RA Series

RA1000-4500

Correctly adjusting and customising the rake to the exact conditions you are facing today is what adds the extra quality to your forage, ensuring that dirt stays out of the swath, yet leaving no crop behind. Setting the rotor height, adjusting the swath width and fine tuning the cam track (ProLine) is done easily and intuitively on all Kubota rakes, taking the hassle out of the daily work optimisation.

RA1000 series

For smaller raking operations, Kubota offers several CompactLine models designed for use on lower horsepower tractors. With the pivoting three point linkage machines and also two trailed versions, there is a model to suit any need.

RA1500 series

Single ProLine rotor rakes with excellent working result. The machines are based on ProLine gearbox technology. The rakes offers working width of 4.2m to 4.6m.

RA2000 series

Cost-effective CompactLine two rotor rakes with strong design. The rakes produce a nice even centre swath from raking width between 6.2m and 7.8m.

RA2500 series

The tough and sturdy ProLine rakes with adjustable working width ranging from 7.0m to 9.0m.

RA4000 series

The CompactLine version is an easy-to-use machine with the substantial working width of 10-12.5m.

RA4500 series

Designed for high output and heavy use. Four rotors, ProLine gearbox and up to 15m working width.

Maintenance-free operation

• Steplessly adjustable cam track for easy adaptation to different amounts and types of crop.
• Injection moulded aluminium tine arm support housings provide strength and reduced weight.
• All tine arms, including housing, can be removed individually by just removing 3 bolts.
• Oil-immersed crown wheel and pinion reduce wear to a minimum.
• Pinion gear with two bearings separate from the main driveline keeps pinion and crown wheel securely in place.
• 400mm cast iron cam track with optimised shape, for smooth tine arm control and reduced running speed.
• Unique 4-point ball bearing on crown wheel ensures efficient power transfer to the tine arms.
• Guide rollers with hardened surface minimise wear on cam track and cam follower.
• Heavy duty ball bearings with large distance for excellent support of tine arm shafts.

CompactLine

The Kubota CompactLine rakes feature oil-immersed cam track guide rollers. Also, the tine arm bearings are fully lubricated, and hence absolutely maintenance-free.

High-tensile tine arm holders and two bearings on either side of the driveshaft, provide the compact unit with strength and dependability.

Kubota-developed cam tracks are specifically tailored to individual rotor diameters, for optimal raking at any working width and on any model.

All CompactLine rakes are fitted with curved tine arms, to ensure a regular and even swath formation. Additionally the curved shape prevents material from being pushed in the direction of the rotor and allows a higher lifting out of the swath.

ProLine

The Kubota ProLine rakes feature a unique drive system, which comprises an oil-immersed pinion and crown wheel. The fully enclosed design ensures full and permanent lubrication, and makes the entire system absolutely maintenance-free.

Our extensive experience guarantees well-proven technology of the highest standard. The hardened cam track is adjustable and with an extremely large 400mm diameter, giving positive guidance to the steel rotors and quiet machine running.

The optimised shape of the cam track allows the tine arms to lift higher, leaving a more uniform swath formation which ensures a faster drying process. Aluminium bearing housings, with two widely spaced ball bearings, provide solid and maintenance-free tine arm mounting. Additionally all tine arms including the housing can be removed by simply removing 3 bolts. Fast and easy!

TerraLink Quattro

Excellent ground following

Kubota rotary rakes are designed to produce well-shaped and clean swaths, achieved by precision in every part of the raking. The ground contour following ability is important to avoid dirt in the swath – especially in uneven field conditions.

TerraLink Quattro

The TerraLink system consists of two parts. First the lifting arm and second the undercarrier. The arm is slotted on the lower side. This, together with special steel quality, makes it possible for the frame to flex without breaking.

The undercarrier, with a minimum of 4 (Quattro) wheels, guides the rotor perfectly over the ground. TerraLink is a simple system without a complicated and maintenance-intensive cardanic system.

Thanks to the pre-pressure on the front tires during work, the running characteristics is very smooth, also in very uneven conditions.

TerraLink offers 4-fold advantages:

The TerraLink system offers clear advantages over pivoting linkage systems:

• Maintenance-free system – no pivots or joints to wear out.
• Automatic rotor suspension, ensuring smooth operation. Built-in pressure bias on front wheels prevents lifting and tine bounce.
• Optimal ground following for clean raking at high forward speeds.
• All wheels are positioned close to the tines.

Adaptation in 3 dimensions

These high performance rakes are fitted with the TerraLink Quattro wheel system for superb ground contour following. The TerraLink Quattro system controls the rotor in 3 dimensions, with a unique combination of an undercarriage with 4 wheels and a specially designed rotor suspension system. This ensures superb raking performance, even at higher forward speeds.
