ABSTRACT:
The present invention teaches a novel steering apparatus which functions in conjunction with the tandem rake offset mechanism. The rear rake may be offset either left or right, thus permitting single or double windrowing, and also transmits steering commands to the rear rake unit such that it follows the tractor more precisely around the field and more effectively windrows the hay. A unique linkage assembly provides for both offset commands and steering commands to be passed to the rear rake unit.
