Get yourself a quality rake!Looking for a fast, easy way to produce great-looking bales?

Rear tires can be located inside or outside the mainframe depending on

raking requirements.

Hydraulic basket lift, up to 14" (35.56 cm) front and

rear, enables you to clear raked end rows.

R2800TwinRake

Large caster-type wheels on the R2800 (27 x 9.50 x 15)

cushion the ride and smooth out turns over changing terrain. Radial

on the R2300 (STR205/75R14).

Hydraulic windrow width control allows you to match the windrow to your baler pickup – from 2.5' (.76 m) to 7' (2.13 m) in width. 3' (.91 m) to 6' (1.83 m) on the R2300.

Get yourself a quality rake!The answer to great-looking bales lies

in the windrows you prepare. The better they’re formed, the easier they

bale; and, in the end, the greater the feed value of the package you harvest. That’s why custom operators and large producers prefer hydraulically-powered Vermeer® TwinRakes.

These ruggedly-built, wide-swath units increase speed and capacity, but more importantly, they produce adjustable windrows perfectly matched to baler pickups.

Right from the tractor seat!The R2800 TwinRake folds

– at any windrow width setting – for easy transport and set up when

going from field to field.

High capacity. Smooth, quiet, gentle handling. Speed. Reliability. Whether you’re baling 100 acres or 1,000 acres, Vermeer® TwinRakes are built to

last and designed to handle most kinds of heavy crops,

BOTTOM LINE: Clean, consistent, uniform windrows and great-looking bales. Get yourself a quality-built Vermeer TwinRake today! Because the better you rake, the better you bale.

rugged conditions and tight schedules. And when the raking’s done, they’re road ready – with transport widths as narrow as 8' 6" (2.59 m). These are the rakes that keep on running and maintain their value long after others have worn out.

Creating the ideal windrow for large bales. Custom-shaped windrows, produced by Vermeer TwinRakes, are evenly distributed into consistent box-style shapes. And, they can actually help you become a better baler operator by eliminating the “slopes,” “pyramids,” and undersized or oversized windrows which frustrate even some of the best operators around.

All of your hay gets turned and windrowed,because Vermeer TwinRakes offer the optional Powered

Splitter to move downed hay (in the center of the swath) to combine it with the rest of the crop.

Low-friction nylon basket hanger bushings.

Twin 6-bar baskets (7-bar on R2800)

mean better sweeping action! Rubber-

mounted tines reduce replacement costs.

Large-capacity TwinRakes save time … and adjustable raking widths make

it ideal for serious hay producers.

Hydraulic windrow width control allows you to match windrows to

your baler pickup — from 3' (.91 m) to 6' (1.83 m). 2.5' (.76 m) to

What’s the key to great looking bales? The right kind of windrows;

windrows that accommodate your pickup width, as well as weather and environmental conditions. By utilizing the R2300/2800 basket rake adjustment (shown, at right) you can easily customize your windrows based on the kind of conditions you’re working in — from fluffy to tightly rolled. How do you do it? Simply follow these tips:

The classic Vermeer R2300 is built for efficiency and convenience. It gets you in and out of a field fast. You won’t need to leave the tractor seat since you

can hydraulically adjust raking widths from 18' (5.49 m) to 23' (7.01 m) or hydraulically adjust windrow widths from 3' (.91 m) to 6' (1.83 m) to accommodate different crops, haying conditions and to produce the right windrow for your baler’s pickup width.

SiTuaTiOn: Lots of hay down; short on time; low humidity causing hay to dry out too quickly, causing excessive leaf loss.

SOLuTiOn: Adjust the suspension rod(s) of the R2300/R2800 basket angle to “push” or “roll” hay into a tight windrow so air doesn’t penetrate and your hay doesn'tblow around on windy days.

SiTuaTiOn: Cloudy skies; high humidity; hay not drying well.

SOLuTiOn: Adjust the suspension rod(s) of the R2300/R2800 basket angle to toss the hay into a loose, fluffy windrow for greater airflow.

Simple windrow width swivel adjustment (WRX12) makes it easy to set your windrows for different baler pickup widths.

Optional 2-wheel splitter system turns the center windrow. Parallel linkage and fully articulated toolbars mean better handling on contours and uneven terrain.

an adjustable, telescoping central drawbar shortens operating distance from the tractor to the rake for added strength and maneuverability.

Cover more acres in less time. Rake cleaner fields with less wear and tear to your rake.

These are the rakes built to handle heavy amounts of hay at high ground

speeds … with more wheels on the ground for better handling, and less scuffing … hydraulic lift and fold/unfold systems for fast, easy transport.

Optional caster-style wheels mean less scuffing on tight turns.

WRX12/14/16

Wheel RakesVermeer wRX16:High level of raking performance and durability!

Rear-mounted wheel rakes complete the windrow after it passes through the rear of the frame.

This creates better flow and reduces the amount of confinement to the windrow in its final stage of forming.

Rugged construction! 6" (15.24 cm ) x 8" (20.32 cm) cross frame;

5/16" (.79 cm) wall thickness.

4-bar parallel linkage on rear of slide mechanism increases support and flexibility.

Ruggedly-built … with a highly flexible frame.Centrally located pivot points along the toolbar vertically flex 10° for greater contour-hugging capabilities, easier handling and drafting. Central drawbar shortens during the raking operation for added strength and stability.

Simple adjustable turnbuckle makes it easy to change windrow widths.

Seven wheels on the ground! Includes an exclusive, center-beam-support “bogie” wheel to significantly improve overall stability and durability of the frame.

Optional two-wheel splitter system turns downed crop material in the center of the swath.

Shock absorbing suspension springs, mounted on each rake arm, help soften jolts and impacts from rough terrain. Extra-wide wheelbase adds stability.

The Rebel wR220 offers a choice between 10 wheel or 8 wheel setups. Select by pivoting the extra wheel on the front of each frame up or down. Maximum 17'4" (5.28 m) raking widths with 8 wheels; 20'10" (6.35 m) with 10 wheels. Transport width is just 11' 2" (3.4 m).

Eight, ten and twelve rake wheel models with an optional center wheel for more thorough raking.

Simple, center-mounted fold mechanism hydraulically raises rake arms for transport.

Simple. Gentle. Reliable. Economical. Crop-driven fingerwheels gently sweep the crop into light, fluffy windrows. A simple turnbuckle lets you

vary fingerwheel angles to handle various crops and conditions. Hydraulic fold/unfold. The crop-driven fingerwheels feature heavy-duty, sealed roller bearings for long wear and reduced maintenance. Highly flexible, tightly spaced tines (40 per wheel) gently sweep the crop toward the center at operating speeds up to 14 mph (22 km/h).
