The v-type hay ray rakes tow behind frame’s main role is harvesting hay. The hay should be harvested soonest possible and removed from direct sunlight. After the grass is cut it is exposed for a while to dry up. The V-type hay ray rake tow behind frame is among the type of machinery used in the harvesting of hay. The rake is designed in a suitable way that allows it to harvest the hay. It is comprised of wheels that are angular shaped. The wheels are propelled majorly across the ground which allows it to cut the desired forage; in this case hay. As the rake moves around the field where it is being used, its contact with the ground allows it to cut the grass in the direction which is desired. The rake in consideration has V- shaped rakes which carry at least two banks of wheels during its operations.…show more content… 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
