Fransgård's mechanical Combi Rake TI-5000 model is easy to service and has low operating costs. The rake function is efficient and the machine has a strongly built construction. The 3 working positions amply cover the need for an efficient combi rake.
By raking to the centre, the width of the swath can be precisely adjusted to the pickup that will collect the crops. The larger the working width, the larger the swath width. Furthermore, it can be set to rake to the side, thereby collecting 2 swaths in the same operation. When you want to have full control over the raking process, this is the perfect machine.
The model has a spreading function that can be used if spreading is not the most important thing. The spreading function is not quite on a par with a specifically developed spreading/turning rake.
The TI-5000 rake has 2 rotors with 6 arms on each - all of which are fitted with nylon wheels. The closed ball bearings in the curve control require no lubrication. The arms are easy to remove via the spring-loaded handle when they need to be repositioned for the various work functions.
When switching from centre to side raking, the direction of rotation of the left rotor changes. It is important that the nylon wheel in the curve control is turned 180°. The model pivots between the suspension and the boom, which locks automatically when the machine is lifted.
During transport on roads, the machine is manually turned in behind the tractor.

The sturdy 3-point suspension is fitted with movable lift brackets and top bar brackets, as well as clear labels.
The protection bar is made of U-iron profile and suspended in rubber bushes to absorb the many vibrations, ensuring long service life.
Mechanical spindle for fine adjustment of the raking height and switching to spreading function.
The hydraulic cylinder adjusts the left rotor out and in to the desired rake width or swath width. To avoid blurring of the profiles, they are fitted with 2 adjustment bolts.
Mounting brackets and adjustment brackets are galvanised and can be adjusted without using tools.
A large wheel is fitted under each rotor as standard.
The wheel height is adjusted via a hollow bracket at the wheel suspension, and the wheels are turned to the desired position in the slots in the bracket.
The moulded curve disc under each rotor can be adjusted in 3 positions via a spring-loaded handle. The wheels in the curve disc are nylon wheels fitted with ball bearings. The open curve disc makes it easy to service.
PTO axle with overload clutch is standard.
The movable lift bracket helps the rake to follow the terrain in the best possible way.
The powerful linkage to the PTO axle ensures an optimal angle of the PTO in the different settings and the best possible angle of the PTO to the tractor.
Compact V-shaped boom in special steel ensures good stability in the machine and allows the 3-point hitch to rotate.
Large and clear label with drawings on the boom shows the many settings for the 4 working functions.
Changing the rake to the various working positions is done without using tools. It is important to familiarise yourself thoroughly with the various settings before using the rake. It is useful to mechanically turn the rotors before start-up to ensure that the machine is correctly adjusted. During transport, the rake is turned fully behind the tractor.
The raking arm with 3 double springs is easily dismounted via the spring-loaded handle and moved to another position. All springs are fitted with a unique 3-piece bracket.
When switching from side to centre raking, the wheels in the curve disc under the left rotor must be turned 180º so that the wheel always runs in the direction of rotation.
When all 6 splitters are removed, pull out the raking arm bracket and turn 180º and push into place, then reinstall the splitters.
The powerful compression moulded rotor ensures both great stability and balance in the machine. Under the moulded gear housing on top of the rotor is a hardened crown wheel/gear-pinion – with the possibility of lubrication.
The swath cloth is controlled by 4 plastic braces that can be adjusted in and out, as well as up and down, to form the perfect swath regardless of the crop when raking sideways. The swath cloth can be easily removed or turned upwards in the other functions.
The support leg is pushed up while working with the machine and are so it is always available on the machine when it needs to be parked.
The top bar can be mounted so that the ball in the bracket tilts down and the machine runs as semi-towed and the 3-point suspension rotates with it, to relieve the machine as much as possible during work. The ball in the bracket will automatically lock when the machine is raised for transport and the machine is fixed behind the tractor.
When switching from centre to side raking, the direction of rotation of the left-hand rotor is changed via the turn gear on the right-hand side.
Twin wheels under each rotor
