Thanks to the pivoting headstock, your centre-swath rake follows in the tractors path when cornering. The stabiliser struts on both sides align the machine in the central position, even when driving across slopes. The rotors are locked hydraulically in the central position during lifting.
In addition, a ground clearance of 80 cm facilitates turning and prevents damage to swaths. The floating rotor support arms allow the rotors to track the ground independently, which contributes to your forage quality.
Able to adapt
TOP 612
In everyday working life you need reliable machines that can be flexibly adapted to your needs.
Compact dimensions
Being able to store the TOP 612 in its transport position really saves space. If you want to reduce the transport height, simply remove the tine arms.
Additional parking wheels make tractor mounting and manoeuvring easier.
Durability
Highest Strength
Our rotor units are built so that the stress on the bearings is as low as possible. Wear is minimised as a result. The large diameter cam track with its smooth ramps makes sure that the tines exit the swath ergonomically. Maintenance-free steel cam rollers, high strength cam shafts and wide spacing of the tine arm bearings reduce the force acting on the bearings.
The large cam tracks offer a cam track diameter of up to 420 mm and a bearing spacing of up to 900 mm on the tine arms. These properties give the tine arms maximum strength. The robust tine arm profile is also extremely resistant to twisting and bending, as these forces are dissipated along the edge sections.
Able To Adapt
The cam track is infinitely variable adjustable. As a result your rake can be adapted flexibly to different crops and harvesting conditions.
Removable tine arms
The tine arms are removable to reduce width during transport and height for storage. These are easy to plug in; it is not possible to slot them in incorrectly.
Tidy raking work is provided by 10 to 15 tine arms per rotor, depending on the working width.
Easy Service
Exchange of the tine arm
The whole tine arm can be exchanged quickly and easily in the event of any damage. Just undo the fitting to slide the tine arm plus cam roller out of the rotor casing.
Convenient
You do not need to maintain the tine arm bearings.
Also the rotor gears run in a sealed semi-liquid grease gearbox.
A grease nippel supplies the cam track. The cam track does not need to be greased. So you won’t have any problems with oil leaks. TOPTECH PLUS eliminates leak problems and requires no oil checks or oil changes.
Convenient work
Stay flexible
TOP 702 C
The trailed TOP 702 C, TOP 762 C and TOP 762 C CLASSIC mid-range rakes can be easily adapted to different forage volumes and follow-up equipment. It is easy to work in wedge-shaped fields and also around obstacles.
We offer two possibilities for adjusting the working width to match the swath precisely to your requirements. The optional swath curtain guarantees perfect swath shape, especially on steep ground.
Mechanical adjustment
Mechanical working width adjustment
A turnbuckle is used to adjust the working width and is the ideal solution for farms where the width only needs to be changed occasionally. The width of the swath can be varied between 1.20 and 2 m.
Hydraulic adjustment
Hydraulic working width adjustment
With the optional hydraulic adjustment system, it is possible to place a narrow swath without using a swath curtain. The whole crop – alfalfa, for example – is raked right through.
- Infinitely-variable adjustment from the tractor seat.
- Optimum match to any pick-up width.
Hydraulic adjustment of the working width is a convenient solution if the swath often needs to be adapted to the width required for the follow-up machine. The swath width indicator helps you achieve the right setting. The optional hydraulic working width adjustment system requires a double-acting connection.
Convenient operation from the tractor seat
Rotor lift system TOP 762 C
One single-acting connection to the tractor hydraulics is all that is needed for lifting.
A flow splitter is available as an option to raise the rotors evenly. This is an advantage especially on slopes.
We offer you an individual rotor lifting system with electrical preselect for raking headlands and field borders that only need one rotor width.
Individual lifting TOP 762 C CLASSIC
The optional swath curtain folds up automatically to provide greater ground clearance.
Stabiliser springs on the rotors ensure that they are lifted and lowered gently at the headland.
Change fields without leaving the cab
With a transport height of less than 4 m, there is no need for you to leave the tractor cab to remove tine arms before driving to the next field.
Removable tine arms for compact parking
Transport position with removing tine arms.
Parking height with tine arms removed: 2.92 m (TOP 612 C), 3.30 m (TOP 702 C), 3.50 m (TOP 762 C and TOP 762 C CLASSIC).
High performance and easy to use
Tailored to every need
Individual lifting height TOP 842 C
You can adjust the lifting height of your machine to meet your requirements. You set the required working width hydraulically.
Adjustable lifting height and hydraulic working width adjustment
You can adjust the headland lifting clearance using a valve for limiting the lifting height.
The higher the setting, the larger the swaths you can drive over without disruption. This way you give your forage the best possible protection.
The lower the clearance height, the faster the height is reached at the headland and the more time you save.
The hydraulic working width adjustment on the TOP 842 C ranges from 7.70 m to 8.40 m – on the TOP 962 C from 8.90 m to 9.60 m.
High output for straw
Operation in straw TOP 842 C
The large TOP centre-swath rakes can be used not only for silage or hay, but also for raking straw. That is how you benefit in every respect from excellent working results.
Removable MULTITAST wheel
Because the MULTITAST wheels are offset to the outside, the TOP 842 C and TOP 962 C are also ideal for turning or merging straw swaths. If required, these can simply be removed.
Convenient operation from the tractor seat
Individual lifting TOP 842 C
One single-acting connection to the tractor hydraulics is all that is needed for lifting.
If you want to lift the rotors at the same time, there is a flow splitter provided as standard. This is an advantage especially on slopes.
An individual rotor lifting system with electrical preselect is available for raking headlands and final passes that only need one rotor width. This system also includes a pushbutton for pivoting into the transport position. In this case no rope lanyard is needed.
The optional swath curtain folds up automatically.
Safe road transport
Transport position TOP 962
Transporting your TOP rake on the road is safe and convenient.
Transport height under 4 m
The hydraulic working width adjustment system is also used for raising into the transport position. The mechanical safety interlock engages automatically.
- The transport height with tine arms fitted is 3.99 m / 4.60 m.
- With tine arms removed, the height in the transport position is between 2.92 and 3.50 metres.
- Lights and mudguards are fitted as standard.
- Air brakes or hydraulic brakes are optional.
