V-Wheel Hay Rake RS2 — BEFCO

The RS2 “V”-type wheel rake delivers efficient, gentle hay and straw raking — forming well-structured windrows that speed up baling or collection. Designed for tractors with 16-30 HP and Cat. 1 linkage, it’s an ideal match for small to mid-sized farm operations seeking reliable forage handling without heavy equipment.

Whether you’re baling hay, collecting straw, or preparing forage for drying, this rake ensures consistent flow and gentle handling even over uneven terrain — reducing leaf loss and minimizing crop damage.
