solutions for making larger and larger machines even more efficient. Durability and
ease of operation are always key to these efforts. Therefore, we at Lely say quite rightly:
“We are the innovators in agriculture.“

LELY HIBISCUS
Smarter
Ro-tine – Rake tines have to meet various demands: flexibility
fl to ensure good
ground following, sufficient
fi rigidity for a precise working depth as well as the
potential to move large volumes of grass. The special shape of the Hibiscus Ro-tines
makes sure that all of these demands are met. Page 8.
765 SD Vario – A perfect example of practically focussed thinking on the part of our
engineers. A hydraulic ram gives the steered rake wheels an extra angle allowing
the machine to be used to produce two swaths, or reducing the rake’s working
width. Page 30.
Head-Lock – Lifting a single rotor rake on headlands has now become far easier
due to the Head-Lock system. A pivot point that moves in two directions restricts
the machine’s free range of movement when making turns, so that the machine
can be lifted on headlands quicker. Page 20.
Faster
Ground contour following – Ground contour following becomes ever more
critical as rotors become larger. The Octosense carriage of the 1015 CD Profi
model is a fine example of ideal stability without any compromise to the
rotor’s freedom of movement. Tandem and pendulum axles ensure that the
rotors run smoothly. Pag 12.
Hibiscus 485 – The three point Hibiscus model 485 S and the trailed type model
485 P are the largest single rotor rakes in today’s market place. Thirteen tine
arms ensure ample capability for the 3.80 m wide rotor. High output at a low
investment! Pag 20.
Transport – The 765 SD models are excellent examples of machines featuring
effective and compact transport. The transport position is very narrow and
– notwithstanding the large rotor diameter – easily remains within four
metres. This makes it easy to operate and manoeuvre on small fields
fi at a
high speed. Pag 28.
Stronger
Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi – When combining exceptional output with a long
machine life for the largest double rotor rake, no compromises have been made.
This starts with the 15 arm rotor. Page 32.
Tine fixation
fi – This unique tine fixation
fi eliminates the problem of tines being
clamped so tightly that any strain will cause fatigue and hence reduced tine
operation. Page 14.
Chrome steel – All tine arm shafts are made of chrome steel. This high quality
material is outstandingly flexible
fl and contributes towards a surprisingly strong
rotor. Page 10.

Quality fodder for higher profits
The quality and quantity of fodder determines to a great extent how healthily and
efficiently milk and meat can be produced. By producing nourishing and appetising
feed from one’s own fodder you avoid having to purchase expensive additives and
concentrates. This is beneficial for the animals, for manure management and – perhaps
the most importantly – the farm’s profits.

Lely – together with you in search of the perfect fodder
LELY SPLENDIMO
Mowing is decisive for further processing of fodder
The choices that you make for mowing – time of mowing, with or without conditioner, regular or wide
swath – have a direct impact on the further processing of fodder. Proper adjustments as well as the
correct mowing pattern are crucial to the condition of the turf as well as limiting any delay
in re-growth and favouring the quality of the first cut of grass.
LELY LOTUS
Tedding for fast and even drying
Especially when having to deal with heavier cuts of grass, timely tedding is important to ensure fast
and even drying. Sufficient
fi output combined with a proper turning action limits the wilting period and,
hence, the field period as well as any delay in re-growth. Properly tedded fodder is free from the turf and
is raked together more easily. Proper ground contours as well as correct machine adjustments avoid crop
contamination.
LELY HIBISCUS
Clean fodder in the right swath
A cam rake should allow fast operations as well as the possibility to lay down an effective swath with the
correct shape and width. After all, a good swath is decisive for the output and cutting action of the baler,
forage harvester or pick-up loader wagon. Ground assimilation, stability as well as adjustments ensure a
clean raking job eliminating any fodder contamination due to soil or dried-up manure.
LELY WELGER
Proper density provides many benefits
fi
Big packs and round bales ensure a substantial improvement of fodder quality because the compaction
process starts right away. Transport of the heavy packs is more flexible.
fl Heavy tractors for processing the
fodder are not required. Since the crop is cut by means of the advanced cutting mechanisms of the balers,
there is more effective compaction while the fermentation process starts sooner and the crop can be
processed more easily later on.
LELY ATTIS
Quick preservation ensures optimum fodder
Wrapping finishes the process that you have started with baling. Immediate packing of the bale in a film
fi
– be it in a combined or individual working pass – ensures immediate airtight sealing of the bale so that
the fermentation process sets in as soon as possible. The bale is not opened until the time when you
actually need the fodder. Heating and decay are eliminated and tasty fodder is ensured.
LELY TIGO
Ensile large quantities quickly
Working with a loader wagon is the quickest way to harvest your crops. Loader wagons can finely
fi chop
grass and they have a large loading capacity. The optimum loading of the wagon makes haulage as
efficient
fi as possible. For those reasons, the loader wagon is ideal for making large quantities of silage in
a short time.
5
Efficient raking has an effect on your wallet!
Proper and efficient raking does not only mean that the mown crop ends up in the swath
clean and tidy – it is also a preparation for the next harvesting process. So, raking has a
great effect on the speed at which the harvesting machines can pick up the swath and
that is something you notice in your wallet at the end of the day! All in all – a double
effect!

The Ro-tine “carries” the grass towards the swath!
The delivery of a clean swath is a primary consideration in the design stage of each new
Hibiscus rake. Lely’s engineers are always focusing on optimising the crop movement.
Or – to put it another way – on constructing the rake in such a way that the grass is not
pressed onto the ground and that any contamination of the crop is reduced to the bare
minimum.

It’s all about the rotor
Obviously, the heart of any rake is the rotor and the rotors are therefore decisive
for performance and machine life. Lely has merged the main functions of the rake’s
rotor – turning, steering and supporting – into three types of rotor, each with its own
specific benefits.

11Output due to good ground contour following
The increasing diameters of rake rotors impose ever greater demands upon ground
contour following. The tines need to be guided across a large surface while in addition
a larger rotor has to be able to adjust itself more effectively. After all, there may be
substantial differences in the surface of the field. Two crucial factors are decisive for a
good result: correct working height and stability of the rotor.

The carriages under the rotors are designed
so that the wheels are as near as possible

as near as possible to the tines and follow the ground contours as closely
as possible. The stability of the rotor is the most important factor for the
machine’s output. No matter how many tine arms a rotor may have, an
unstable rotor will never achieve the required output. For that reason, most
Hibiscus rakes are fitted with tandem or pendulum type axles.

19Lely Hibiscus S
In spite of the ever growing availability of twin rotor rakes, single rotor cam rakes
still occupy a prominent place within the range of Hibiscus rakes. Therefore, two new
models have now been added to Lely’s range of single rotor cam rakes: Hibiscus 425 S
and Hibiscus 455 S. For smaller and medium-sized dairy farms the single rotor rake is an
efficient as well as affordable investment to achieve ideal swaths. Due to the unrivalled
ease of operation and flexibility of operation – not confined by a fixed swath width –
single rotor rakes are the ideal choice for many dairy farmers.
20LELY HIBISCUS
A suitable rake for every farmer
The four models of Hibiscus single rotor rakes are available in three different
working widths. The Hibiscus models 425 S and 455 S are fitted with 11 tine
arms and their respective working width is 4.25 and 4.55 m. The Hibiscus 485 S
model has a working width of 4.85 m and comes in two versions. As standard
this Hibiscus model is supplied as a machine for three point linkage. The
Hibiscus model 485 P, however, comes as a trailed rake and features its own
hydraulic lift system. All of these single rotor Hibiscus rakes are fitted with the
modular Master rotor including a low-maintenance cam track.
Reliable and simple
Hibiscus single rotor rakes have an outstandingly rugged construction.
The simplicity of construction is reflected
fl in an attractive purchase price
as well as a long machine life. To be able to lift the large rotors, the main
frame is made out of one piece ensuring its enormous strength.
Into the transport position – a quick job
The protection guards can be folded out very easily, and they are unlocked in
less than no time. The bracket onto which the heavy swath curtain is fitted has
an assist spring to eliminate backbreaking lifting when folding up the guards.
For transport the tine arms can be easily removed and stored alongside the
frame.
Abundant clearance in the headland position
The simple construction of the Hibiscus single rotor rakes conceals their clever
engineering. Integrated into the newly developed headstock is the locking
system Head-Lock. This system has been designed specifi
fically for Hibiscus single
rotor rakes and it ensures trouble-free horizontal lifting of the rake. The top The clever ‘Head-Lock’ system fixes

Due to the Head-Lock system the rake does not hang down backwards and the
rake is immediately fixed in the central position. The freedom that the rake
has during its operation can be used to the maximum for making sharp bends.
Due to the maximum angle of 25° of the headstock and frame, the machine
has a particularly short turning circle.
Rugged Master rotors
The heart of all these machines is the Master rotors. The 480 mm wide, chrome
steel tine-arm shafts with bearings are – just like those of all other Hibiscus
rakes – manufactured from one piece. The absence of unnecessary welding
or components increases the strength of the arm and thus contributes to the
durability of the rake. The tine-arm shafts have an internal profile,
fi to which the

23Lely Hibiscus CD
Without any doubt, the central delivery rake is the most important rake in today’s market
place. It is not only because of the perfect swath, that many dairy farmers and contractors
opt for this type of rake; ease of operation also plays an important role. Lely’s range of
central delivery rakes has been renowned and thoroughly tested and developed for many
years. These Hibiscus models – with working widths ranging from 6.95 to 8.55 m – are
all traditionally known for the following essential features: outstandingly rugged build,
stable rotor behaviour as well as an unrivalled raking output.
24LELY HIBISCUS
Three working widths – four models
The range of Hibiscus double rotor central delivery rakes consists of
four different models and three working widths. The Classic model
is of a simpler design and is fitted
fi with a Classic type rotor. Working
widths of the Hibiscus models 805 CD and 855 CD are between 7.55 and
8.15 m / 8.10 and 8.55 m respectively. The Hibiscus models 725 CD, 805 CD
and 855 CD are fi
fitted as standard with the rugged, modular Master rotor.
Rugged A-frames – double effect
It was through this range of Hibiscus rakes that Lely introduced the
so-called A-frame technology. A construction in the shape of a triangle
connects the rotor with the frame in two places, ensuring an outstandingly
stable construction. In addition to enhanced lifetime, the A-frame offers

hence output – can be substantially increased.
Adjustable working width and swath width
Working widths of Hibiscus central delivery rakes can be adjusted in
two positions. The narrowest working width guarantees a narrow
swath as well as optimum pick-up potential for balers or pick-up loader
wagons. If a larger working width is selected, a wider swath is laid down.
Depending upon working width and cam track adjustment, swath width
can be adjusted between approx. 1.20 and 1.60 m.
Two positions for working height adjustment
Working height is easily adjusted by means of a wind handle.
The standard wheel assembly underneath the rotors features an
additional adjustment; ideal when having to rake on fields with
deep tractor wheel ruts, or on fields
fi with cereal stubble.
High headland position
The rotors are lifted up to a pre-determined angle by means of a
built-in stop on the hydraulic rams. The rotors are then held in the
so-called headland position ensuring ample clearance. There is no
need to disengage the PTO shaft.

fi
Lifting the rotors one by one on headlands
Hydraulic lifting of the Hibiscus rotors into the headland position is
designed in such a way that the front rotor is lifted first, followed by the
rear rotor. This enables the operator to drive into headlands, without
having to wait or slow down.
Full adaptation of the rotors
The rotors of the Hibiscus 765 SD (Vario) are suspended by means of a
3D system and ground contour following by the rotors is optimised with
the aid of the four wheel assembly. With the 765 SD the four wide tyres
can pivot to avoid scuffing
fi the turf. The two front wheels are as close as
possible to the front tine tips. Consequently, the rotors have a stable run
and the tines touch the surface – contamination is reduced to the bare
minimum. The standard Ro-tines assure the unrivalled output of this rake
and ensure that a clean and airy swath is laid down.
Turning on headlands – ample clearance
In addition to ensuring a long life, the suspension of the rotors in the
A-frame – a cleverly engineered Lely concept – offers additional benefits.
fi
The pivot points of the rotors are underneath the shaft, so that the rotors
are lifted perpendicularly on headlands. This ensures ample clearance and
even the biggest swaths are left untouched when the machine passes over.

31Lely Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi
By introducing the world’s largest twin rotor central delivery rake – Hibiscus 1015 CD
Profi – Lely has met the increasing demand for high output. This new rake stands out
with its unrivalled output for raking together hay and straw for balers, pick-up loader
wagons and forage harvesters. The machine’s working width can be adjusted hydraulically
between 9.00 and 10.20 m, while the swath width can be varied between 1.50 and
2.50 m.
32LELY HIBISCUS
A highly cost-effective investment
which pays itself back quickly
The twin rotor central delivery rake Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi gives some serious
competition for the four rotor machines that are already available in today’s
market place. In general, rakes with four rotors may have a larger working
width, but the Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi rake has already proved to be highly
successful due to outstandingly clean raking operations, even at high forward
speeds up 20 km/h. This machine achieves an output of 15 hectares/h without
any problem. The Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi rake is a surprisingly cost-effective
investment, especially when compared to rakes with four rotors. In addition
to this, it is correct to assume a high trade-in value. After all, the durability
for which all Lely products are renowned was the key in the development
and testing stage of the Hibiscus 1015 CD Profi rake. You only have to take
a look at the rugged build and special design of the rotors and frame to
become aware of a concept of unconditional reliability and functionality.
Rotors with three-dimensional
movement for optimum raking
The central delivery rake Hibiscus 1015 CD is a true Pro, which is also due to
the unique 3D suspension. It comprises a pivoting head, which gives the rotor
a 360° freedom of movement. Both rotors feature a unique wheel assembly.
Lely has managed to develop an unrivalled wheel assembly
– Octosense – in combination with a 3D suspension.
Special ball joint ensures optimal freedom
of movement for the rotor.
Octosense – eight tyres guarantee a stable rotor
This wheel assembly (with eight wheels) ensures a stable run of the rotors,
irrespective of field conditions and also at high forward speeds. The machine
negotiates even the worst terrain unevenness with ease and assurance. Due
to the combination of the 3D movement of the rotors and the intelligently
engineered wheel assembly, the entire crop is moved, even at very high
working speeds.
Hydraulic-pneumatic ground
pressure adjustment of rotors
A hydraulic-pneumatic system transfers part of the weight of the rotors
onto the frame. This construction reduces the weight on the rotors as
well as ensuring improved ground contour following at higher speeds.
Pressure in the hydraulic-pneumatic system can be easily adjusted.
33An extremely durable construction
The entire machine stands out from the rest by its remarkably rugged construction.
The main frame, made out of one piece, connects the portal headstock with the rugged
steering “bridge” for the rear wheels. Two sub frames connect the rotors and the
main frame. The A-frame allows the machine to be folded up, while the parallelogram
construction gives the adjustable working width as well as very secure locking in the
transport position.
Forced linked steering and large
low-pressure tyres
Due to the steered rear wheel assembly this giant
allows perfect manoeuvring, even in the smallest

rugged construction with its large steering rods and
