2021 Northstar Attachments Twinstar G2 Hay Rake 2030G3-7

Twinstar Generation 2 Basket Rakes are the premier hay rake for commercial farming operations. These rugged built hay rakes are designed to rake two windrows together and for turning hay to speedup drying time prior to baling for high production hay farming, custom operators, and dairies raking green chop. Twinstar Basket Rakes produce consistent uniform windrows and the cleanest hay on the market. Cleaner hay brings higher returns and provides the highest quality feed to ensure animals receive proper nutrients. Research has documented that basket raked hay contains significantly less contaminants (dirt, rocks, and debris) and has less leaf loss compared to traditional finger wheel and rotary rakes. Twinstar Generation 2 Hay Rakes are designed for functionality and longevity in today’s demanding markets. Twinstar 7-Bar Rakes are available in 27' & 30' approximate raking widths for windrowers equipped with 12' to 18' headers.

• 7 Tine Bar design allows for higher ground speeds up to 10 MPH

• 7 Bar Baskets are designed to handle heavier crops
