Kubota wheel rakes use a row of ground-driven rake wheels with spring tines around the rim. As you pull the rake forward, the wheels turn and sweep hay into a windrow. There’s no gearbox driving the wheels — forward motion does the work — which keeps the rake simple, fast, and easy to maintain.

This design is ideal when you want to cover acres quickly and you’re primarily raking dry grass hay or mixed forages in open fields.

• Ground-driven rake wheels – typically no PTO required.
• Wide working widths for high-acreage productivity.
• Simple mechanical frames with fewer drive components.
• Adjustable raking width and windrow width on most models.
• Fold-up transport position for moving between fields.

• High productivity: Great for big, open fields where acres/hour matters.
• Lower operating cost: Minimal horsepower and simple maintenance.
• Budget-friendly: Generally lower purchase price than rotary rakes.
• Ideal for dry grass hay, prairie hay, and many mixed forages.
• Good choice if you run multiple tractors and need an easy-to-use rake for different operators.

Kubota rotary rakes use one or more PTO-driven rotors with tine arms that lift and carry the crop, then set it down into a fluffy, well-shaped windrow. The tine height and rotor angle are adjustable so you can keep the tines just above the soil surface.

This controlled raking action is designed to protect leaves, reduce dirt, and build a cleaner windrow, which is especially important for alfalfa and high-value forage going into dairy or commercial hay markets.

• PTO-driven rotor(s) with multiple tine arms.
• Excellent ground contour following for uneven fields.
• Adjustable tine height and rotor pitch to match crop and conditions.
• Single-, twin-, and center-delivery configurations available.
• Designed to build smooth, even windrows that feed balers and choppers efficiently.

• Gentle on leaves: Helps keep alfalfa and legumes in the windrow, not on the ground.
• Cleaner hay: Less dirt and ash, which supports better feed value.
• Consistent windrows: Uniform size and shape for improved baler performance.
• Better drying: Fluffy windrows promote air flow and faster curing.
• Great fit for dairy, commercial hay, or anyone targeting top-end forage quality.
