Rotor chassis
Wide rotor chassis
For clean and tidy results and the best stability on the road and in the field, each of the wheels on the rotor chassis is positioned as close as possible to the tine arc. Together with the jockey wheel that is also inside the rotor arc, a large support triangle is guaranteed. This ensures smooth operation.
Four wheel chassis
The TOP VT 12540 C is equipped with a four-wheel chassis as standard. To achieve optimum ground tracking, the front axle is floating. All four wheels are steerable.
Five-wheel chassis
A five-wheel chassis with tandem axles is available as an option for the TOP VT 12540 C. All wheels are steerable. The five-wheel chassis is standard on the TOP 1252 C and 1403 C.
Tandem axles
Many TOP rakes are equipped with tandem axles as standard. They are available as an option on all the others, and can be retrofitted quickly and easily.
Tandem axles halve the effect that any bumps in the ground transmit to the rotor units. This ensures smooth running even at high speeds.
Because the wheels are mounted using offset bolts on the outer tandem axle, the inclination of the rotor can be adjusted at right angles to the direction of travel.
Gimbals rotor suspension
Our trailed TOP models with two or more rotors achieve sufficient freedom of movement of the rotor units for three-dimensional ground tracking because the rotors are mounted in gimbals.
Setting the raking height
The raking height can be adjusted either electro-hydraulically from the tractor cab or by using a hand crank. The MULTITAST jockey wheel system is adjusted automatically with the rotor chassis.
