John Deere Wheel Rake FAQs
Which wheel rake fits a smaller hay operation?
The WR00 carted wheel rake needs 31 hp and one SCV, and its adjustable hitch matches a wide range of tractor drawbar heights. It rakes up to 21 ft and folds onto its cart for an 8.2 ft transport width.
What does a center kicker wheel do?
A center kicker wheel rakes the hay in the middle of the windrow that the main rake wheels do not turn. That helps drying time and gives the baler a cleaner windrow to pick up. It is an option on the WR12 and WR32.
Why do the WR32 and WR54 use 60 in. rake wheels?
Larger wheels turn slower at the same ground speed. That reduces leaf loss for cleaner windrows and better hay quality, and it gives the tines a longer wear life.
Are these Frontier rakes?
The WR12 Series is part of the Frontier line of implements. Koenig Equipment sells and supports Frontier attachments along with John Deere equipment.
