Circle C Golden Eagle Wheel RakeS
The Best Hay Rake in the Industry — Now Even Better!
Benefits of the Golden Eagle Wheel Rake
- 1/3 less fuel use by merging three swaths into one to two windrows
- 1/3 less labor and time because of windrow merging
- 2/3 less maintenance costs
- Tines are not in direct contact with the ground, improving tine life and decreasing stone pick-up
- The popular 18 wheel-rake model has a working swath width of 30 feet
The Golden Eagle Wheel Rake can be pulled with your tractor, pickup bumper hitch, or on a gooseneck — without modification.
- Transport mode width is 8-1/2 feet (with wings) — allows easy access from local highways to your most distant fields.
- Auxiliary hydraulics are available when pulled with a pickup — for complete control from inside the truck cab, or use your tractor’s hydraulics with the same optimum level of control.
- Models available from 12 to 32 wheels — rake up to 54 feet wide at a pass all from the comfort of your pickup or tractor cab.
- Depth band technology (patent pending) keeps tines out of the soil — your hay is free of dirt and rocks, increasing the hay’s value and enhancing tine life.

- Single-point wheel float control
