How to work with Wheel Rake

For leafy plants such as alfalfa and clover, combing should be stopped before the moisture content of the plant drops below 40% because then the leaves will dry out and fall. Usually, in most parts of Iran, combing is done 24 hours after harvesting in the summer and 24 to 72 hours after harvesting on days when the temperature is low.
In order to determine the time of the fodder rowing operation, one can pay attention to the level of the harvested fodder. The row of fresh, harvested fodder, which has high humidity, is puffed up, but after it dries up, it falls asleep. In addition, if the humidity of the harvested fodder is high, it sticks to the fingers while working and rotates with the sun, which can also be used to determine the moisture content of the fodder.

In order to achieve the desired result from working with the Wheel Rake, in addition to the correct setting and observing the operation time, the following points must be observed:
A) In windy places, there is a possibility of collecting and wrapping fodder on the fingers. In this case, the fodder row is not formed completely. To solve this problem, use special wind deflector covers or Kiparche plate wheels.

b) The height of the fingers relative to the ground should be such that the tips of the fingers do not touch the ground while working. The lower finger causes stones and soil to enter the fodder, and there is a possibility of breaking or damaging the finger. On the other hand, the fingers being too high will leave some fodder on the ground. The height of the fingers in the traction shoulders is adjusted by the handle of the carrier wheel and in the riding shoulders by the hydraulic system of the tractor.
c) The number of rows of harvested fodder that should be keyed should be chosen according to the density of fodder and air temperature. Usually in Iran, 4 rows are united, but according to the conditions, 5 or 6 rows can be united.
d) All the fodder that are lined up together must be moved, and it is not considered that the rows are close to each other. In other words, the final rows should be formed on the part of the ground that has been combed and not the part that has not been combed yet. In this case, the rows of fodder, while they are completely air-dried and dried faster during transportation, they are twisted together like a rope so that they can be easily removed from the ground when harvesting with a baling machine, and fodder It did not remain on the ground.

e) It is better to move the broom in the same direction as we cut the fodder. When harvesting, the fodder usually falls on the ground with its head facing backwards. Therefore, when the broom moves in the same direction as the harvester, it first reaches the head of the stems and moves this head into the row. In this way, thick stems are placed around the row to be directly exposed to sunlight and air flow.
