So found an allis 4 bar pto rake. 10 ft long and has 2 wheels. What model would this be? Did they work ok? May go check it out soon. Anything that I should look at in particular? They are asking $400. How's that sound for a price? Thanks Jared |

There are a couple different models and different versions of each. The earliest ones were called Allis Chalmers PTO Rake/Tedder. These have the front castor wheel ahead of the basket and the gearbox has a High/Low/Tedding feature. There is a serial number break for which parts they use. Then the update version is a #7 PTO Rake/Tedder. This one has the front castor wheel behind the basket and the gearbox has two input shafts, to change from raking to tedding you put the PTO shaft on the other gearbox shaft. This rake also had a serial number break for parts. Both rakes will do a very good job on properly prepared ground, they do not like rough ground. There was a optional kit for both rakes that had extra wheels on both ends and this helped quite a bit. The biggest problem with them is, people with rough ground over-tighten the slip clutch instead of learning how to properly prepare a seedbed, which will break the gearbox. I have one of the early model PTO Rake/Tedders that I will sell. It doesn't look like much with no paint, however it is in great mechanical condition with all good teeth and the extra wheels front and rear.  The best thing about these is; one single implement will do the work of two modern pieces of equipment. Properly setting the angle of the teeth for the task desired, is probably the most important setting after not setting the teeth too low. I also have lots of NOS and used parts for these rakes that would be first offered to the buyer of my rake.
------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

| Jared, I wore out one of those growing up. They work well on relitavily flat ground. They usually being less than $150.00 here. They do need the ball and socket hitch to use them. I think I still have some rake teeth hanging on a wall in the shop. |

Ball and socket like on a trailer that would be pulled by a pickup or car? I believe the rake is the early version like in the pic above. Jared |
