Quality and EconomyThe International side delivery rake rakes hay into light, fluffy windrows where it has th

best opportunity to cure in such a way that its full nutritive value will be conserved. "Whenraked in windrows with the International, the air circulates freely through the hay and it is aircured, not sun-dried, as is the case when it is left to dry in the swath. Air-cured hay is bright,tender, and nutritious, whereas sun-dried hay is of poor color and low feeding value.Any boy who is old enough to drive a team can rake hay with the International side-deliverrake as there is nothing to do except throw the machine in gear and drive around the field. Thereare no dumping devices which require considerable strength to operate. When the crop is lightseveral windrows can be thrown together and the time and work required for loading greatlyreduced.

Construction of the Main FrameThe main frame of the International side-delivery rake is substantially constructed of steel

and is mounted on steel wheels. It is well braced to withstand the twists and strains to which iwill be subjected in rough fields and in raking the heaviest hay.

The Raking Forks Handle the Hay Without ThreshingInstead of a cylinder, a series of steel forks is used for raking. These forks are four in num-

ber, have six tines each, and are operated by a crank shaft driven from the axle by chains. Thepower on this crank shaft is applied in the center and consequently the load is evenly distributed.This reduces the draft on the team, and the strain on the operating mechanism.The revolutions of the crank produce the rotary motion of the raking forks, which pushes thehay to one side into light, fluffy windrows. The forks move just fast enough to do thorough workwithout threshing the blossoms and leaves off the hay and without roping the hay even though itis wet.

The forks are of high grade steel and of the coil type. They are each controlled by a coiledsteel relief spring which allows them to spring back in passing over an obstruction so that theyare not damaged.

The operating mechanism is all placed high from the ground so there is no danger of its becom-ing wrapped with hay. It is also provided with shields, which makes it impossible for hay to becaught in the gears or chains.

WindbreaksTwo steel windbreaks are hinged to the main frame and swing in front of the raking forks.

These windbreaks prevent the hay from being blown hack against the forks, in case it is beingraked against a strong wind.

Castor WheelsA castor wheel at the rear assists in carrying the weight of the rake and keeps it running

level. This castor wheel has up and down adjustments which permit the height of the forks to beregulated to all conditions of ground and hay. A special advantage of this rake is that it has anadjusting device next to the left hand front wheel, by means of which the forks can at all times bekept parallel to the ground.
