THE FUTURES IN FRONT WITH ABIMACUK
We are the UK importers for ABIMAC, An engineering company that specialises in the construction of agricultural rakes
About abimac uk
Abimac UK was formed after there became a demand for front rakes that we were using within our own contracting business.
The story starts when we had a very catchy tricky season in 2014, I was fed up with the rake man getting to far in front of the baler and the swaths getting wet. A light bulb moment was to construct a front rake so the baler could be self-sufficient, the prototype was born. We used this machine successfully, also saving a man and tractor from the field. However, it was only a 6m machine and was slightly too small to keep big balers full in light crops.
We found Abimac an Italian rake manufacturing company of some 40 years pedigree were building larger rakes. A trip to Italy where the two designs came together to produce a heavier duty machine specifically for the UK market.
We purchased one of the new machines and ran it ourselves to evaluate durability and quality. We were so pleased with the machine, as were other contractors and farmers Abimac UK was set up to import, distribute and service the demand of forward thinking farmers and contractors.

The new rake of the Butterfly series combines the well-known advantage offered by the half-carried rake with central swath with a lighter weight and great handiness both at work and during transportation.
It is hooked to the front lift three-point linkage of the tractor hitch. Being carried, it demands a tractor able to hoist 1500 kgs. Working width can be adjusted manually on the extractable arms in order to adapt the rake to the cutting bar width. Ideal to make forage swaths in general, but especially of alfalfa immediately after harvesting to form a soft and perfectly symmetrical swath.
After road transportation the operator does not need to get off the tractor to start working. The machine is ready for use: just release the safety devices of the hydraulic hoisting cylinders from the driver’s seat and lower the rotors to start working. The correct working position and machine balance are found by adjusting the height of the tractor hoisting device and the third point position in order to let the teeth pass just over the ground.
