There’s no trick to achieving faster dry down and tightly rolled bales that preserve quality, shed water and transport easily. All you need are the right tools. It’s a cinch to form the windrows for bales with one of the Vermeer exclusive hay rakes. Vermeer offers more options, so you can find the rake that fits your operation: twin basket rakes, high-capacity crop-driven wheel rakes, rotary rakes and carted rakes. Built rugged to last, all models have feature after feature to help reduce the work of haying.

The heavy-duty VR1428 high-capacity wheel rake is capable of raking 28' (8.5 m) wide in one pass – yet nimble enough to maneuver like rakes much smaller in size. It offers producers more capacity and the ability to handle more acres in less time, with fewer maintenance issues by combining rugged construction, smart, streamlined design and functionality with simple, tool-free adjustments.

• With a lift/suspension cylinder on each wheel and the nitrogen-charged accumulator, changing rake wheel settings and pressure is easy! Simply change the pressure settings on the accumulator.

• Heavy-duty construction throughout – non-telescoping, non-bolted joint straight tongue, as well as bent tube frame and fold arms

• Handles like many smaller capacity rakes because it’s closely positioned to the tractor when operating in the rake position.

• Optional center splitter attachment. Exclusive dual rake wheel combination gently lifts and turns the crop in the center of the swath.

• See your Vermeer dealer for comprehensive service and genuine Vermeer replacement parts.
