Rotor chassis

As standard, the TOP 882 C has a five-wheel chassis with tandem axles and a steerable jockey wheel inside the rotor arc.

Due to its large diameter rotor, the TOP 962 C is equipped with a six-wheel chassis and two steerable jockey wheels inside the rotor arc.

Hydraulic working width adjustment

The hydraulic working width adjustment system is standard. The indicator scale is clearly visible from the tractor seat.

Swath widths range from 1.30 m to 2.60 m on the TOP 882 C and from 1.30 m to 2.20 m on the TOP 962 C.

Suspension springs

The suspension springs make sure that the rotors run smoothly in the working position. They also greatly increase stability on steep ground and when lifting the rotors individually.

Adjustable lifting clearance

You can adjust the headland lifting clearance using a valve for limiting the lifting height.

Basicline preselect system

For convenient operation, there is a choice of two options with the Basicline preselect system.

• Individual lift capability

• Individual rotor lifting and hydraulic raking height adjustment

Both versions include electric actuation for the transport interlock.

Individual lift capability

One single-acting connection to the tractor hydraulics is all that is needed for lifting the rotors. Using the Basicline preselect system, the rotors can also be lifted and lowered individually to rake left-over areas and field edges.

Hydraulic raking height adjustment

To get the best quality forage, you need to adjust your rake precisely. On the TOP 882 C and 962 C, you can choose the option to conveniently adjust the raking height hydraulically from the tractor cab.

Ackermann steering

The machine is attached to the tractor by a yoke that enables a turning angle of 73 °. You can clearly see the steering angle indicator from the driver's seat.

There is a strong, maintenance-free steering linkage between the yoke and the axles. The Ackermann steering allows a short construction. The machine is manoeuvrable and follows in the tractor's tracks.

High output for straw

The large TOP centre-swath rakes can be used for silage, hay, and also for raking straw.

If required, the MULTITAST jockey wheel system can simply be removed.

Tyres and brakes

Two different tyre packages are available for the chassis.

• 340/55-16 (standard)

• 380/55-17 (optional)

• 15/55-17 AS (optional)

Pneumatic brakes are available as an option.

Transport height less than 4 m

The hydraulic working width adjustment system is also used for lifting into the transport position. The mechanical safety interlock engages automatically. The transport height with the tine arms fitted is 3.99 m or 4.60 m. With the tine arms removed, the transport height is 3.50 m or 3.95 m.

Lights and mudguards are fitted as standard.
