The 35 rake was available with either ground drive or hydraulic drive. I have had both. The hyd. was a real deal, the agent being stuck with it out of season. A Farmall 350 did not do a good job as it had no oil cooler; Hydro 656 or 86 no better. The 706 did a fine job except in my line of hay equioment the 706 was needed elsewhere. Surprisingly, my 454 did a good job. This rake went down the road as trade for a Kuhn double rotor 3 PH rake. This was a very goog rake whem the transmission and cam assemblies worked.

In all fairness the NH rake could be run 1 to 2 miles an hour faster. I bought an L hitch and another 35 rake, permitting lots of raking capacity in variuos combinations from heavy first cut to soybean straw(36 feet per windrow). yes, the 35 is a good unit, make sure you have lots of hyd flow and a good cooler for the HY-TRAN.
