Besides the very popular finger wheel rakes, Sitrex also manufactures a rotary rake.  The SR420/11H uses cam activated rake tines to pick up the hay and move it into the wind row.  There are two benefits to using a rake with this type of raking action.  The first is that the hay is handled very gently, and leaf loss is kept to a minimum.  The second is that wet heavy hay can be handled with ease.  In some cases where a finger wheel rake may leave heavy hay behind, the rotary rake will make a clean sweep and have no trouble moving it.

The windrow that is created with a rotary rake is generally considered to be the fastest drying windrow because it is fluffy and has plenty of gaps for air to circulate through.   Raking with a rotary rake is usually slower than with a wheel rake, but for certain customers, a rotary rake is essential for a perfect raking job.

For large commercial operations SItrex offers the Twin Rotor TW7800.  Twin rotors use the cam activated raking system to bring hay into the middle windrow.  Raking widths as wide as 25' can be obtained with this dual rotary.  The windrow width can be adjusted from 3.5' wide to 6.5' wide.
