Combi Rake - TI
|
Fransgård’s combi rake with multiple options, easy to service and low operating costs. All models have a spreading function, but it is important to note that this function cannot compete with a spreading/turning rake and is more of an option that you can use if spreading is not your main aim. The raking function is excellent; when raking to the centre, the swath width can be adjusted so that the pick up can collect material. The greater the working width, the greater the swath width. Raking at the side (not TI- 4000S) means that you can position several swaths together, and TI-6000 can also make two swaths in one workflow. The perfect rake if you want complete control during raking.

The TI rakes have two rotors with six arms each, nylon wheels and closed ball bearings in the cam track that do not require lubrication. The arms are easily removed via the spring-loaded handle when they need to be moved between the different work functions. When switching between raking in the centre and at the side, the direction of rotation is changed for the left rotor; here it is important that wheels in the cam track are rotated 180°. All models rotate between the suspension system and boom, which lock automatically when the machine is lifted. When switching to the transport configuration, the machine is folded in behind the tractor manually.
|
When changing from raking to tedding the rake arms are easily removed by pressing the spring loaded lever. The arm is simply inserted and clicked into place in the tedding position. The machine is tilted forward for spreading.
|
On the TI-5000 and TI-6000 models, by simply using the gearbox selector, the direction of rotation of the left hand rotor can be reversed to allow side raking. The cam position and cam following rollers are easily changed by hand.
|
The camtrack can be set by hand to three different positions to suit crop conditions and working format.

On the TI-5000 and TI-6000 the direction of the left hand rotor can be reversed to allow side raking. This is a real advantage in light crops and in straw - with the TI-6000 two individual 3 metre swaths can be formed in one run.
|
In working position the pivoting headstock allows the machine to trail behind the tractor. The machine automatically returns to the central position when lifted. The lower link arms can move up and down resulting in better floatation, cleaner working and less wear.
|
A multi - hole matrix on the ground wheels allows the working height of each rotor to be finetuned to the conditions. An on-board top link spindle allows central setting of the rotors. Hydraulic ram as option on the TI-6000 & TI-6000S.

|
The working width on the TI-6000/ TI-6000S is set by a hydraulic ram allowing the swath width to altered to suit the pick-up width of the following machine. TI-4000S and TI-5000 are set mechanically.
|
For road transport the rake is swung backwards. The rotors, safety guards, and rake arms can be moved to their narrowest position to reduce transport width.
|
Special hardened crown wheels and pinions offer high reliability with minimal maintenance.
