A red hay rake (Dinky Toys 324) with yellow wheels and a row of silver curving prongs along the back, produced in 1953-70. The hay rake was originally numbered 27k.

A lever towards the rear controls a mechanism which raises or lowers the prongs. An actual hay rake's function would be to cut straw into rows of cut hay, to be collected later.

As it was also available to be bought in a set with the Massey-Harris Tractor (Dinky Toys 300), it could also be based on a Massey-Harris design.
