Shaktiman SRHR 3.5/9 PTO Hay Rake Price October 2026

The Shaktiman SRHR 3.5/9 is a powered rotary rake for gathering cut material into windrows before collection or baling. Its job is arranging an existing crop swath, not mowing the crop or producing a bale. This review follows the SRHR 3.5/9 table in the brochure linked from the Indian “PTO Hay Rake – 9 tyne” page.

Nine arms does not mean nine individual teeth

The brochure specifies 9 arms with 3 double tines per arm, a 2900 mm rotor diameter and a 3500 mm working width. It lists 40 HP tractor power, 540 rpm PTO input and 75 rpm rotor speed. Keeping those speeds separate is essential when checking the tractor setting. The rated width describes the machine configuration; the useful windrow must also suit the next machine’s pickup.

In a demonstration, examine the finished row for continuity, missed material and soil pickup rather than judging only how fast the rotor turns. Ask the operator to show working-height adjustment for your ground and crop. A rake cannot compensate for choosing an unsuitable time or moisture condition for baling; agree that decision separately with the forage adviser or contractor.

Confirm the brochure build before pricing it

The specification table gives 450 kg weight, 1500 mm transport width, 2500 mm transport height and 4 tyres. The product-page description mentions 2 wheels, so obtain written confirmation that the supplied machine is the documented four-wheel SRHR 3.5/9. Do not borrow the smaller SRHR 3.3 mass or width. Check folded access and transport locks as well as the tractor’s loaded hitch match.

For a complete harvesting plan, compare the windrow with the Shaktiman SRB 60 baler and obtain a matched demonstration; sharing a brand does not prove pickup compatibility. Ask about replacement tines and local gearbox service before the season.

On 16 October 2026, TractorJunction’s PTO-rake page shows an indicative ex-showroom price but combines SRHR 3.3 and 3.5 specifications. It does not establish a price for the exact 3.5/9 build reviewed here. Request a district-specific quote naming that code and wheel configuration, with freight and commissioning separated; a family price is not a confirmed on-road cost.
