Does anyone have any experience with Sitrex brand hay rakes. I recently found a pretty good deal on one, but would appreciate any comments about them. Are they very reliable. Thanks in advance.

I have never been so disappointed in a piece of machinery as an 8 wheel mounted Sitrex rake. In heavy legume hay, it would just rip the top off the windrow and ride over top. If it did move all the hay, it left an uneven windrow that gave the baler fits. It would not rake all the hay if it was laid out flat and as the windrow built towards the centre, the wheels near the centre would ride over top. The transport system was a cruel joke. I sold it at a loss, and went and got the old Ford PTO rake from behind the barn, stuck a kid on the 8N and that raked the hay properly. The neighbour has an old Lely 4 wheel trail rake and it does an okay job, but if you've got heavy hay and need uniform windrows, don't mess with a wheel rake. Good Luck.

I been using a Sitrex for 8-10 yrs now with no probs.

All I've done was to punch a hole in the sides of the sealed bearings and use a grease needle to grease the wheel bearings ever year.

When I 1st got it being able to do the raking so much quicker than the old NH was kinda skeery.
