Features

GROUND-DRIVEN MODEL 256
For fast raking in a compact size, the Model 256 is a great, ground-driven choice. With an 8-foot, 6-inch raking width, it’s easy to maneuver in small fields, yet provides excellent durability. Since both wheels drive, you get uniform windrows on both right and left turns.

PROVEN RAKING FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND COUNTING

Rolabar® rakes have evolved to help today’s livestock, dairy and commercial hay operations stay ahead of schedule. Making quality hay is a New Holland tradition, and a part of Rolabar rake DNA, then and now.

TRUSTED DEPENDABILITY

Rolabar® rakes are built for tough conditions, reliable operation and long life, making them a solid investment for seasons to come.

SETTING THE STANDARD FOR CLEAN RAKING

Rolabar® rake tines closely follow ground contours to put more clean hay in the windrow. Offset wheels are set close to the rake basket on the Model 258, while the Model 230 offers a full range of basket flotation settings as well as standard front and rear gauge wheels which improve raking performance.

CREATE THE PERFECT WINDROW

A full range of basket angle adjustment allows you to create fluffy windrows for better air flow and improved drydown, or create tight windrows that better resist scattering in windy conditions.
