Everything You Need to Know About Pickup Tines
Introduction
Pickup tines are one of the most important components used in agricultural machinery, especially hay balers, forage harvesters, and pickup systems. They are designed to lift hay, straw, grass, and crop residue efficiently without damaging the crop.
Choosing the correct pickup tine improves machine performance, reduces downtime, and increases harvesting efficiency. Whether you are an OEM, distributor, or agricultural equipment manufacturer, selecting premium-quality pickup tines ensures long service life and reliable field performance.
