Rotor chassis

The TOP 342 and 382 are equipped with a two wheel chassis as standard. Thanks to the wide axles and large tyres, the rake is always firmly on the ground.

The four wheel chassis with tandem axles (optional on the TOP 342 and 382, standard on the TOP 422 and 462) floats over any bumps perfectly.

Pivoting headstock with heart-shaped pivot pin

Our TOP single-rotor rakes have a pivoting headstock with a vertical axis of rotation and a heart-shaped pivot pin.

In the working position, this prevents the rake from swinging out when cornering. The vertical axis of rotation prevents under-running when working downhill.

When the rake is raised, the heart-shaped pivot pin automatically centres itself in the motion link to secure the machine in the centre position. This design guarantees the greatest lifting height at the headland even when used with small tractors, because the rake does not sag.

Stabiliser struts

Two mechanical stabiliser struts on the headstock ensure that the machine runs smoothly during operation. These ensure gentle centring, which is an advantage when working on slopes. At the headland and during road transport, they support the centring of the heart-shaped pivot pin.

On the TOP 342 and 382 the stabiliser struts are available as an option, while on the TOP 422 and 462 they are fitted as standard.

Safe road transport

With the swath curtain raised on the TOP 342 and 382, you achieve a transport width of less than 3 m without removing tine arms.

On the two larger models, 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.

The transport interlock enhances your safety on the road.

Warning signs and lighting are optional for the TOP 342 and 382 and standard on the TOP 422 and 462.
