The VRC1022 is built to handle heavy crop volumes without the complexity of hydraulic drive systems. Featuring a 10-wheel configuration, this rake allows you to cover up to 22.1 feet in a single pass. Each rake wheel is independently suspended with an adjustable spring tension system, allowing the wheels to "float" over uneven ground contours. This ensures you pick up every bit of hay while minimizing the amount of dirt and stones introduced into the windrow.
One of the standout features of the VRC1022 is its high-clearance frame. This design provides ample room for large, heavy windrows to pass under the rake without bunching or clogging, which is critical when working in high-yield first cuttings. The rake wheels are equipped with high-carbon steel teeth that provide the perfect balance of flexibility and durability, ensuring a long service life even in abrasive conditions.
Adjusting the VRC1022 to match your baler's requirements is fast and easy. With simple mechanical adjustments, you can fine-tune the windrow width to ensure your baler is fed evenly across the entire pickup. When the job is done, the rake hydraulically folds into a compact transport position, and the integrated transport locks ensure the wings stay secure while traveling between fields at road speeds.
