VR1428 High-Capacity Wheel Rake Features & Benefits
Efficient raking
Adjusting the rake wheel pressure is efficient with a lift/suspension cylinder on each wheel and the nitrogen-charged accumulator.
Minimize weight changes through wheel float range and minimize wear and tear on rake wheel teeth and the amount of dirt and rocks in operator’s hay
Simple operation
Operators can engage and disengage the transport lock without leaving the tractor with automatic field transport locks.
When in raking position, the rear wheels are positioned close to the tractor — resulting in ease of maneuverability for such a large machine.
Help protect your hay quality
Maximized vertical travel capabilities are possible from the frame design that allows the toolbar to flex 36 in (91.4 cm) down or 48 in (121.9 cm) up.
One-piece rake arms and hydraulic suspension on each rake wheel provide flexibility with less maintenance than similar-sized rakes.
Heavy-duty design
Consistent dry down — even in the center swath — can be achieved with the optional center splitter’s dual-angled, ground driven rake wheels. This feature splits the crop to allow for more air flow in the windrow.
