6 7THE EASY-TO-MAINTAINTS3 AND TS4 RAKE HEADTHE LOW-MAINTENANCE TS6 RAKE HEADBOLTED CONNECTION OF THE RAKE HEADThe rake head is bolted together using a conical ring to form a sturdy unit. This has the advantage thatthe bolts are not subjected to shearing effect, but rather only to compressive and tensile forces.As a result, perfect centring and rigidity is also achieved for a long service life. If required, the tine armscan be replaced individually without having to completely dismantle the rake socket.BEARING MOUNTING OF THE ROTOR ARMSA typical feature of this head is the solid, large-dimensioned bearing tubes of the rotor arms.With a distance between bearings of 43 cm, this key component is designed for extremely highloads and the harshest of working conditions. The precision ball roller bearings are also completelymaintenance-free.Bolted connection with conical ringsMaintenance-free precision ball roller bearingsEasy tomaintain!Lowmaintenance!

8 9TYPICAL FEATURES OF THE FELLA RAKESSTEERGUARD FOR A POSITIVE AND DIRECT STEERING MOVEMENTFELLA is the only manufacturer on the market to offer a steering system for the rake which operateswithin the frame. This patented steering system provides very high and long-lasting steering precision.The steering shaft is protected against damage by the frame and, unlike externally located steeringrods, has only two points of deflection. As a result accurate steering and safety is guranteed, even afteryears of use.The steering movement is transferred from the steering shaft to the wheels with the aid of the stubaxle steering with adjustable track rod. The track rods with high-precision conical heads originate fromtheir use in commercial vehicles where they have proved their efficiency over millions of kilometres.The greatest benefit of this steering system lies in the very positive and direct transmission of thesteering movement. The rake always runs exactly in the track of the tractor and is also still extremelyagile. Furthermore, this type of steering guarantees very smooth running even at high speeds.As a result, safe and quick travel from field to field is possible at a speed of up to 50 km/h.Track rods as already used in commercial vehiclesAdjustable track rod headAt a glance:• Patented steering system• Very positive and direct transmission of the steering movement• Very high and long-lasting steering precision• Track rods as already used in commercial vehicles• Rake runs exactly in the track of the tractor• Safe and quick travel even at 50 km/h!SteerGuard –only fromFELLA!SteerGuard

10 11TYPICAL FEATURES OF THE FELLA RAKESPERFECT GROUND ADAPTATION IN EVERY SITUATIONThe patented, fully cardanic rotor suspension from FELLA ensures perfect ground adaptation evenunder the most difficult of working conditions. The rotor can adapt itself perfectly to the ground andindependently of the frame, whether inclined longitudinally or transversely. As a result, forage lying inrecesses and depressions can be recovered without loss.JET EFFECTDue to the fully cardanic rotor suspension and weight distribution of the rotor, the rotor lifts first atthe front and then at the back. When lowered, the rear wheels of the rotor first make contact withthe ground and then the front wheels. In this way, the tines are prevented from penetrating into theground. No penetration, no damage to the sward, no forage contamination – top-quality forage.Damage to the sward by the tines is safely avoided even in hilly terrain. With FELLA, tidy raking workis always achieved without forage loss – and it's top-quality forage.Patented, fully cardanic rotor suspensionJet effectAt a glance:• Fully cardanic rotor suspension• Perfect ground adaptation when rotors are inclined both longitudinallyand transversely• Tidy raking work without forage lossAt a glance:• No penetration by the tines when the rotor is lifted in and out• No damage to the sward• No forage contamination – top-quality forage

12 13TYPICAL FEATURES OF THE FELLA RAKESRAKE DEPOSIT TO THE RIGHTAll FELLA rakes (except central rakes) deposit the swath to the right. In this way, you always haveyour perfect swath in view, because the operating controls in the tractors nowadays are on the right.Depositing on the right – makes ergonomic sense!TINE FIXTUREThe tines are not pushed over the tine tube; instead each tine is bolted in from the bottom. This hasthe advantage that the side of the arm facing the forage is absolutely smooth and therefore no forageremains stuck to it. In the event that a tine becomes worn, all tines do not have to be removed in orderto change one of the inner tines. The tines also have greater freedom of movement because their movementis not limited by the tube.Swath deposit onthe right – makesergonomic sense!Each tine is bolted in place individuallybeneath the tine armTine fixturePOWER TRAINSAll power trains on FELLA rakes are equipped with overload protection and freewheeling clutches.The power trains are thereby protected against overload, which avoids expensive repairs. Long downtimesare also prevented during the forage harvesting season.Absolutely smooth front side of the tine armTINE ARMSAll FELLA tine arms consist of tough tube material and are manufactured in one piece. The connectionpoint to the tine arm is machined for a perfect fit which makes it possible to insert the tine arms easilyand reduces wear on this heavily stressed point to a minimum.Central rake power trainPerfectly fitting connection point to the tine armsCentral rake power train

20 21TWO-ROTOR SIDE RAKEWITH TRANSPORT CHASSISTS 1402TS 1452TS 1603• Medium-sized side rake• Tidy forage handoverand swath formationFIRST-RATE TECHNOLOGY FOR QUALITY FORAGEWith the TS 1402, TS 1452 and TS 1603 models, FELLA offer three medium-sized two-rotor side rakes.Using these rakes, it is possible to deposit two small swaths, one large swath or a double swath bymaking a return pass. The switchover can be performed easily and within seconds. All FELLA side rakeshave a large overlap between the first and the second rotor ensuring a tidy forage handover and swathformation even under difficult working conditions.PERFECT GROUND ADAPTATIONIn addition to the fully cardanic rotor suspension, the side rake is distinguished by its contact-sensingchassis. It enables optimal ground adaptation at all times. The longitudinal and transverse inclinationcan also be variably set on all rotors. This ensures that contamination of your high-quality forage isprevented.CONVENIENCE OF OPERATION, PURE AND SIMPLEThe machine is equipped with an automatic hydraulic sequential control system which can be individuallyadapted to your requirements. This system controls the delayed raising and lowering of the rear andfront rotor and, as a result, enables you to deposit perfectly formed swaths at the headland. Becauseof the automatic height limitation in the headland position, it is no longer necessary to switch off therotors. The lowest transport height is also ensured in the transport position, no matter which workingwidth you have set.
