INTRODUKTION

The Fransgård rotary turner is one of the fastest and most efficient
hay-turners on the world market today.
By adjusting to right wheel height and switching of the rake teeth to
turning, the material will be spread loosely and regularly over the field
to be dried quickly and efficiently.
For raking together, the Fransgård rotary turner is ideal. After moun­ting of swath collectors and switching of rake teeth, a light and airy
swath is laid, well suited for collection with pick-up press.
The Fransgård rotary turner is built on a sturdy sectional steel frame,
which will withstand even strong stresses when passing over uneven
ground.
The rotary turner can be switched over quickly from transport position
to working position.
It has a closed rotor with 10 powerful pick-up springs, which are
thrown into working position by centrifugal force as soon as the engine
is started.
Its gearbox has hardened bevel gears, with standing heavy loads.
And it has a power transmission shaft with slipping clutch.
