Video: Lely Hibiscus 1515 rake


Check out this video demonstration of the Lely Hibiscus 1515 CD Profi rake.

This is a very clever rake where designers have thought outside conventional methods to achieve something which is very stable on rolling terrain. This coupled with a very simple and easy to operate fully automatic touch screen monitor which together with the 3D rotor heads and adjustable cam track should tick all the right boxes for most operators, given there are only two currently in the country you had better get in quick.

Pros

  • Unique frame design makes it exceptionally stable on hills.
  • Transport wheels are placed slightly towards the rear of the machine to increase the weight on the tractor to improve road travel.
  • Adjustable cam track.
  • Simple and intuitive monitor combining both menus and touch screen functions.
  • No need to remove tine arms for transport and sucks in less than 3m wide for road travel.
  • Folding and unfolding is all done automatically as well as regulation of oil pressure to ensure smooth rotor movements.
  • Can be run with or without load sensing (power beyond).
  • 3D contour heads follow rough ground very well.

Cons

  • Folding and unfolding does takes around 15m - 25m to complete, which is speed dependent.
