The v- shaped rakes help in raking the forage into a windrow as well as a swath since they allow raking using the outer edges of the implement towards the inside. The rakes are usually adjustable to allow it to be easily employed regardless of the circumstances encountered. The rakes are controlled using an automatic pin. It is however good to adjust the rakes position and their distance of their separation according to the individual user’s preference. The rakes are subjected to several forces and stresses due to working in uneven ground. Other forces acting on the hay rake are as a result of uneven distribution of the forage or vegetation material being worked on. Therefore, the hay rake is assembled in a manner that allows the arms as well as its other individual parts to bear or tolerate the stresses experienced. The most preferred hay ray rakes are ones that are welded. The welding assemblies allow them to tolerate any stresses and work efficiently due to their strength and robustness. This is the mechanism that allows the V-type ray rake tow behind frame to …show more content…
It is therefore possible to repair broken or faulty parts and replace with other spare parts. The v- type ray hay rake tow behind frame is manufactured through welding. It is made of steel and other hard metals for durability and to make it robust. The parts are fastened using screws and nuts that are tightly fastened. Preferably they should be made of diamond which is the hardest metal. They should be well welded and fastened
