This rake finger is the original-equipment component that mounts on the tine bar of a rotary rake. It contacts the crop as the rake rotates, lifting and guiding material into the windrow. The finger is manufactured to the same geometry as the original part, which ensures it aligns correctly with the tine-bar holes and maintains the proper working angle relative to the ground. A worn or bent finger reduces crop pickup efficiency and can cause uneven windrow formation. When replacing, verify that the finger is fully seated in its mounting hole and that the retaining hardware is tightened to the specified torque.
