Pöttinger TOP single rotor rakes
Always reliable
Regardless of whether you are raking on steep ground or in fields with plenty of corners, your TOP will always deliver the perfect working results. The TOP 342 weighs in at just 474 kg and is therefore ideal for working on slopes.
Three-point pivoting headstock with stabiliser struts
Thanks to the three-point pivoting headstock, your rake will follow in the tractor’s tracks without swing-out. The stabiliser struts on both sides align the machine in the central position, even when driving across slopes. The struts also stabilise the TOP rake when it is lifted and during transport. The transport interlock enhances your safety on the road. You can adjust the brake on the stabiliser struts at any time. On the TOP 342 and TOP 382 the headstock with stabiliser struts is available as an option.
More convenience and time for you
During raking, just a few millimetres are decisive for your forage quality. A range of adjustments help you to quickly and easily find your ultimate working setting.
Technology that is quick and easy to set up
- The working height is adjusted in the standing position using a hand crank. This is easily accessible and maintenance-free.
- The inclination of the tandem axles is easily adjusted using the offset bolts on the wheels.
- The swath curtains can be adjusted to match the quantity of forage and the desired width of the swath. A spring-loaded strut makes it easy for you to lift the swath curtain. Hydraulic lifting controlled conveniently from the tractor seat is also available as an option.
Narrow and safe road transport, space-saving storage
For transport on the road, simply remove the tine arms and stow them on the space-saving holders. The tines are secured using lynch pins. Fold the guard rail vertically to make your TOP ready for road transport. Warning signs and road lights are standard.
With the TOP 342 and TOP 382, you achieve a transport width of less than 3.0 m without removing tine arms.
Maximum uptime and 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.
