Its hydraulic controls allow adjustment of both raking width and windrow width, helping operators adapt the machine to crop conditions, field requirements, and baling preferences. With six-bar baskets, 120 tines per basket, rubber-mounted rake teeth, and a drawbar hitch, the R2300 is built for dependable haymaking performance. The electric\/hydraulic designation identifies availability of an optional electric\/hydraulic valve kit in the manufacturer-family documentation, while the rake drive itself is hydraulic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEfficient Twin-Basket Hay Raking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R2300 combines two hydraulically driven baskets to gather and organize hay into consistent windrows.
