Wheel Drive to Gearbox Driveline for New Holland Rolabar Rakes

Description

When you’re raking hay and notice your rake isn’t turning at the right speed or one side is lagging behind the other, it’s often this driveline that’s causing the trouble. This wheel drive to gearbox driveline is the mechanical link that transfers power from your rake’s ground wheel to the gearbox, keeping everything synchronized as you work. Without it functioning properly, your raking pattern gets uneven and you end up with windrows that look like they were made by a drunk person.

What You’re Getting

• Direct replacement driveline that connects wheel drive to gearbox on your Rolabar rake
• Proper length and spline configuration for smooth power transfer
• Universal joint assembly designed to handle the angles and movement of rake operation
• Heavy-duty construction that stands up to the constant rotation and vibration

Built for Real Farm Work

This driveline fits New Holland Rolabar rake models 55NH, 256, 258, 259, and 260. These are the workhorses you see in hayfields everywhere, built for side-delivery raking that forms clean windrows for your baler or chopper. Whether you’re working first cutting alfalfa or third cutting grass hay, this is the part that keeps your rake wheels and tines moving in perfect sync.

Made to Last

Rake drivelines take a beating with all the bouncing, turning, and constant rotation they do. This one’s built with quality universal joints and proper heat treatment to handle the stress. The splined connections are machined to tight tolerances so they won’t wear loose and start banging around after a season or two.

Good to Know

When installing, make sure both ends are properly seated in their splines and that the universal joints can articulate freely without binding. A shot of grease in the U-joints before installation helps everything work smoothly from day one. If your old driveline was making noise or vibrating, check that your rake frame isn’t bent or twisted before installing the new one.
