New Holland 216 Unitized Rake Basket Rake Pdf Repair Service Manual (p. Nb. 87049456)

New Holland 216 Unitized Basket Rake PDF Repair Service Manual (Publication No. 87049456)

Covering up to 27 feet (8.2 m) in a single pass, the New Holland 216 Unitized Basket Rake was designed to help hay producers reduce field time while producing clean, uniform windrows. Unlike conventional pull-type rakes, the 216 combines two hydraulically driven rake baskets on a single heavy-duty frame, allowing operators to merge multiple windrows efficiently while maintaining consistent crop flow and minimizing leaf loss in delicate forage crops.

Because both rake baskets, hydraulic drives, suspension links and tine assemblies operate continuously across uneven terrain, accurate servicing is essential for dependable performance. This OEM Factory Repair Service Manual (Publication No. 87049456) provides dealership workshop procedures for inspection, adjustment, diagnostics and complete overhaul, enabling technicians to restore factory operating specifications while extending machine service life.

Machine Highlights

The 216 Unitized Rake was developed for medium and large hay operations where field efficiency is critical. Its hydraulic basket drive eliminates traditional ground-drive mechanisms, while the unitized frame keeps both baskets synchronized through turns and varying terrain. Adjustable basket tilt allows operators to produce either fluffy windrows for rapid drying or tighter windrows for baling, depending on crop conditions.
