right hand side delivery rake.

[B Reimer]

Does anyone know where I could get a right hand rake. I have the common one and would like to run 2 to rake 2 10' rows together.
Thanks

I have never seen opposing side delivery rakes. However, I have seen them set up in series where the first rake discharges to the second rake which puts the windrow all the way to the outside of the second rake, combining two rows.

Vermeer makes a twin rake, where you get both, permanently attached. (I think at least 1 other company makes one like this too.) I've never seen a Ford r.h. rake, but New Holland's 260 is a right hand. Case/IH and IH's are/were available in r.h., but I don't know the models. I'd bet J.D. makes one, also. There are several hitch types to allow pulling 2 rakes. I have a 3-point mounted version that I've never used because I don't have 2 pull-type rakes. (I have a NH 56 and a couple Ford 503's)

IIRC, the NewHolland 56/256 were the 9' left handers while the 58/258 would be the right handers.
Dunno anywhere specific to find them other than watch the yards of local dealers/jockies or auctions. Just get out and hunt...

56/256 and 58/258 are all left hand. Can't remember size... either 8' or 9' for 56/256 and 9' or 10' for 58/258... the 58/258 is wider anyway. The 260 is the right hand.
