That 60 run's good works very well on your wheel rake dam good tractor for that job use mine on a v-rake when she was running!👍

[@michiganhay7844]

Shane Holst Yeah I saw you had your 60 in the shop interested to see it go on again that’s great to have a shop like that to pull big tractors in and work on them just put an electronica ignition on the 60 starts a lot better now

Will u customise wheel hay rake...? need 2+2.

[@farmerjustin9081]

Do you know how to adjust the speed of the lowering arms? My arms lower down extremely slow

[@michiganhay7844]

There is a restrictor valve right behind the hydraulic plug-in nipple. I took that off the only thing with that is you have to further how low you drop it I mean how fast you drop it with your tractor, so it doesn’t slam onto the ground.

Sorry if your rake doesn’t rake all the hay well your going to test high moisture. Where is live I would need 2 more days for it to dry. Love the Old R tractor.
