Large swaths with small tractors

With our twin rotor rakes with side swath placement, you can rake large swaths with a minimum power requirement.

The cost effective TOP 652 rake has a fixed working width of 6.40 m. The swath is raked to the left.

The flexible TOP 662 rake places the swath to the right and has a working width of 6.55 m when raking into one swath. You also have the option of a dual swath function with a working width of 7.30 m.


Rotor chassis

The TOP 652 has a four wheel chassis with tandem axles the MULTITAST jockey wheel as standard.

The TOP 662 is equipped with three wheel chassis as standard. As an option, you can choose the five-wheel chassis with tandem axles. On both versions, the jockey wheel inside the arc of the rotor can be steered.


Dual swath function

If you also want to use your rake for night swaths or in hay and straw, you can equip the TOP 662 with a dual swath function.

The rotors are simply moved apart using double-acting hydraulic cylinders. The second swath curtain is then brought into position.

With two swaths the working width increases from 6.55 m to 7.30 m.


Hydraulic swath curtain adjustment

A hydraulic swath curtain adjustment system is available as an option for the TOP 662. You can use this to adjust the swath width conveniently from the tractor seat within the range of 80 cm.


Sequence control

The rotors are lifted by single-acting cylinders. Both rotors are lifted and lowered one after the other via step sequence control.

On the TOP 662, the rotors are lifted and lowered via matrix-controlled valves that can be adjusted individually.


Sufficient lifting height

With a ground clearance of 50 cm on the TOP 652 and 55 cm on the TOP 662, there is no risk of damaging cross swaths at the headland.


Individual lift capability

One single-acting connection to the tractor hydraulics is all that is needed for lifting the rotors. On the TOP 662, the Basicline preselect system lets you choose between lifting and lowering the two rotors together or separately.


Stable on steep ground

Due to the low construction, these rakes have a low centre of gravity. AS-profile tyres also enhance safety on steep ground.


Tyres

Two different tyre packages are available for the chassis.

  • 260/70-15.3 (standard)

  • 340/55-16 (optional on TOP 662)

  • 380/55-17 (optional on TOP 662)

  • 15/55-17 AS (optional on TOP 662)


Yoke tube mounting

The machine is mounted as standard using a yoke. The double wide angle PTO shaft is fitted with a freewheel.

A PTO shaft holder and hose holder are standard equipment at PÖTTINGER.


Ackermann steering

These rakes are extremely manoeuvrable thanks to their steered chassis with a turning angle of 66 ° on the TOP 652 and 73 ° on the TOP 662. They follow right in the tractor's tracks. This saves you time and effort at headlands and during transport.

The steering angle indicator is clearly visible from the driver's seat.


Optional narrow chassis frame

On the TOP 662 you can also choose a 2.55 m track width as an option for especially narrow transport widths.


Safe road transport

Both rakes are under 4 m high in the transport position without removing the tine arms. With the optional hydraulic swath curtain adjustment, there is no need for you to leave the tractor cab before driving to the next field.

Warning signs and road lights are standard.
