Introduction

The RA108CR, RA110CR, RA210CR, RA212CR Hay Rakes are cart style hay rakes for making crop windrows. The hay rake uses a series of rake wheels to funnel material into a single windrow.

The hay rake has steel rake wheels which are suitable for most conditions. Optional wind screens can be installed on the rake wheels to reduce the effect of wind on the crop being raked.

The hay rake can be optionally equipped with single or dual kicker wheels. The kicker wheels move the crop from the center of the hay rake that would otherwise not be turned.

An optional lighting kit can be ordered on the hay rake, or added later.

Safety Information

■ Look for Safety Symbol

The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra safety precaution must be taken. When you see this symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that follows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.

■ Be Aware of Signal Words

Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard seriousness. The signal words are:

DANGER

DANGER Indicates an imminent hazard which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.

WARNING

WARNING Indicates a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

CAUTION

CAUTION Indicates a potential hazard which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

NOTICE

NOTICE Indicates that equipment or property damage could result if instructions are not followed.

2. Riders obstruct the operators view.
3. Riders can be struck by foreign objects or thrown from the machine
4. Never allow children to operate equipment.
5. Keep all bystanders away from machine during operation.

■ Transport Machinery Safely

NOTE

Maximum Transport speed for implement is 40 kph (25 mph). Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.

1. Comply with state and local laws.
2. Do not exceed 40 kph (25 mph). Never travel at a speed that does not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Some rough terrains require a slower speed.

3. Use caution when maneuvering with one or both wings folded up. Do not exceed 8 kph (5 mph) in turns. Steep inclines or sharp turns can cause the hay rake to turn over. Tipping can result in injury or equipment damage.

4. Carry reflectors or flags to mark machinery in case of breakdown on the road.

5. Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under see "Appendix - Reference Information" on page 36.
6. Do not tow an implement that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of towing vehicle.
7. Turning tractor too tight can cause implement to tip over.
8. When towing on a trailer, secure implement with tie downs and chains.
9. When towing on a trailer, sudden braking can cause a trailer to swerve and upset. Reduce speed if trailer is not equipped with brakes.

■ Shutdown and Storage

1. Park the tractor and implement on a solid, level surface where children normally do not play.
2. Raise the wings, put tractor in park or set park brake. Turn off engine and remove switch key to prevent unauthorized starting.
3. Wait for all components to come to a complete stop before leaving the operator's seat.
4. Put both lockout valves in the locked position to prevent the wings from lowering.
5. Unhitch the tractor. Secure the implement using blocks and supports.

■ Use Seat Belt and ROPS

1. KUBOTA recommends the use of a CAB or Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and seat belt in almost all applications. This combination will reduce the risk of serious injury or death, should the tractor be upset.
2. If the tractor is equipped with a foldable ROPS it may be temporarily folded down only when absolutely necessary for areas with height constraints. (There is no operator protection provided by the ROPS in the folded position. For operator safety the ROPS should be placed in the upright and locked position and the seat belt fastened for all other operations.)
3. Always use the seat belt if the tractor has a CAB or ROPS. Do not use the seat belt if a foldable ROPS is down or there is no ROPS. Check the seat belt regularly and replace if frayed or damaged.

■ Practice Safe Maintenance

1. Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools and equipment. Refer to this manual.
2. Work in a clean, dry area.
3. Lower the implement. Put tractor in Park, turn off engine. To prevent unauthorized starting, remove key before performing maintenance or service work.
4. If work must be performed with wings raised, put both lockout valves in the locked position.
5. Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system pressure is relieved.
6. Disconnect lighting harness from the tractor before servicing or adjusting electrical systems.
7. Welding: Disconnect lighting harness from the tractor. Protect hydraulic lines. Avoid fumes from heated paint.
8. Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition and installed properly. Replace parts on this machine with genuine Kubota parts only.
9. Do not alter this machine in a way which will adversely affect its performance.
10. Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
11. Remove all tools and unused parts from implement before operation.

NOTICE

Raise the wing(s) at the edge of a field to extend the life of the rake and the rake wheels.

Raising the wing(s) is necessary for good windrow formation. Raise the wings high enough to clear the crop on the ground. Make the turn and then lower the wings.

NOTICE

Raising and lowering the wings will bleed the hydraulic system.

Roading the Hay Rake

WARNING

Do not transport going too fast for the terrain. Slow down if obstacles are present that the hay rake can hit and jerk the tractor around. Slow down if terrain is rough causing tractor to bounce. Either situation can cause operator to lose control and result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

Do not transport hay rake above 40 kph (25 mph). Doing so can result in loss of control resulting in equipment damage and serious injury or death.

Roading Checklist

☐ Plan the route so that no reverse movements will be necessary. Avoid steep hills. Keep Clearances in mind.
☐ Never exceed 8 kph (5 mph) in turns. The hay rake is top heavy and can tip.
☐ Hitch the hay rake to the tractor. Make sure the electrical and hydraulic connections are complete. See “Hitching and Unhitching the Rake” on page 11.
☐ If the wings are unfolded, fold them. See “Raising and Lowering the Wings” on page 15
☐ Make sure the lockout valves for the wings are in the locked position. See "Lockout Valves" on page 15.
☐ If equipped with a kicker, make sure the kicker is raised and the kicker lockout valve is in the locked position. See “Lockout Valves” on page 15
☐ Make sure the SMV Safety sign is clean and visible. If needed, a SMV sign can be purchased from your nearest Kubota dealer.
☐ If equipped, always have lights on for highway operation.
□ Comply with all federal, state and local safety laws when traveling on public roads.
□ Travel with caution.

WARNING

When traveling on public roads, use accessory lights, SMV sign, clean reflectors, and other adequate devices to warn operators in other vehicles of your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and local laws.

WARNING

Reduce tractor ground speed to 8 kph (5 mph) when turning. Turning too fast can cause the hay rake to tip causing serious injury or death.

	Rake wing traveling too low	If operating a RA210CR or RA212CR rake, adjust the wing stop bolts to a higher position
	Rake wings adjusted too wide at front	Adjust the rake wing angle to reduce the width at the front
Rake wheels bouncing too much or not reaching the ground	Too much flotation on the rake wheel arms.	Adjust the eyebolt on the rake wheel arms to reduce the flotation spring length
	Rake wing stopping too high	If operating a RA210CR or RA212CR rake, adjust the wing stop bolts to a lower position
Crop bunching between rake wheels and tire	Not enough clearance between rake wheels and transport tires	If operating a RA210CR or RA212CR rake, extend the wing arms to create more clearance
	Raking too much material Reduce the raking width
Crop is dragging instead of moving to middle	Rake wings adjusted too wide at front	Adjust the rake wing angle to reduce the width at the front
Rake wings not raising evenly	Wing cylinders getting out of synchronization	Continue holding the tractor hydraulic remote valve for 1-2 seconds after cylinders are fully extended or retracted
	One cylinder lockout valve partially closed	Make sure that both cylinder lockout valves are completely opened
	Contamination plugging one cylinder orifice	Check orifice at base of slower fold cylinder for contamination
	Left-hand and right-hand wings not adjusted equally	It is acceptable to not have the wings adjusted equally, however, uneven folding will result
Rake wheel tines breaking prematurely	Not enough flotation on the rake wheel arms	Adjust the eyebolt on the rake wheel arms to extend the flotation spring
	Rake wings operating at too wide of an angle	Adjust the rake wing angle to reduce the width at the front
	Making sharp turns with wings lowered	Raise wings to lift rake wheel off ground before making sharp turns
Rake wheels not turning	Rake wheel hub not turning freely Check	the hub bearings and seal. Repair as necessary.
	Material wrapped around spindle and dragging against rake wheel	Remove wrapped material from rake
	Wing angle too wide	Some conditions require a narrower wing angle. Adjust wing angle as necessary.

Maintenance and Lubrication

Maintenance

Proper servicing and maintenance is the key to long implement life. With careful and systematic inspection, you can avoid costly maintenance, downtime, and repair.

Always turn off and remove the tractor key before making any adjustments or performing any maintenance.

WARNING

Crushing Hazard:

Always have transport locks in place and frame sufficiently blocked up when working on implement. You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed under the falling implement.

DANGER

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:

Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before applying pressure. Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, seek immediate medical assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury. Within a few hours gangrene can start to develop. DO NOT DELAY. Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics.

1. After using your hay rake for several hours, check all bolts to be sure they are tight.
2. Maintain proper air pressure in the tires.
3. Clean hay rake on a regular basis. Regular and thorough cleaning will lengthen equipment life and reduce maintenance and repair.
4. Lubricate areas listed under "Lubrication" on page 33.
5. Replace any worn, damaged, or illegible safety labels by obtaining new labels from your Kubota dealer.

Bleeding the Hydraulic System

DANGER

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:

Check all hydraulic lines and fittings before applying pressure. Relieve pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when working with hydraulic systems. Fluid escaping from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for leaks. Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If hydraulic fluid is injected into the skin or eyes, seek immediate medical assistance from a physician familiar with this type of injury. Within a few hours gangrene can start to develop. DO NOT DELAY. Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics.

WARNING

System Contamination Risk:

Always use liquid pipe sealant when adding or replacing NPT (National Pipe Thread, tapered thread) pipe-thread fittings. To avoid cracking hydraulic fittings from over tightening, and to keep tape fragments from clogging filters, do not use plastic sealant tape.

1. Put both wing lockout valves in the unlocked position. If equipped with a kicker wheel(s), put the kicker wheel lockout valve in the unlocked position.

2. Park the machine on a solid, level surface. Make sure there is room to safely raise and lower the wings.

3. Raise and lower the wings several times.

If equipped with a kicker wheel(s), the kicker wheel(s) will raise and lower with the wings.

1. When the movements are smooth and even, the air has been removed from the hydraulic system.

Hydraulic Connectors and Torque

Refer to Figure 24 (a hypothetical fitting)

Leave any protective caps in place until immediately prior to making a connection.

① NPT - National Pipe Thread Note tapered threads, no cone/flare, and no O-ring. Apply liquid pipe sealant for hydraulic applications. Do not use tape sealant, which can clog a filter and/or plug an orifice.
② JIC - Joint Industry Conference (SAE J514) Note straight threads (4) and the 37° cone (5) on "M" fittings (or 37° flare on "F" fittings). Use no sealants (tape or liquid) on JIC fittings.
ORB - O-Ring Boss (SAE J514) ③ Note straight threads (6) and elastomer O-Ring (7). Prior to installation, to prevent abrasion during tightening, lubricate O-Ring with clean hydraulic fluid. Use no sealants (tape or liquid) on ORB fittings. ORB fittings that need orientation, such as the ell depicted also have a washer (8) and jam nut (9) ("adjustable thread port stud"). Back jam nut away from washer. Thread fitting into receptacle until O-Ring contacts seat. Unscrew fitting to desired orientation. Tighten jam nut to torque specification.
