2024 Vermeer® Rakes VR2040

Harness the power and innovation of the Vermeer high-capacity wheel rake in an even larger package with the VR2040 high-capacity wheel rake. A 40-ft (12.2-m) raking width and unique wheel suspension system offer maximum efficiency and raking power. Cover more acres in less time – and with minimal maintenance – with the rugged VR2040 high-capacity wheel rake.

Features may include:

• Consistent downforce on rake wheels through the entire range of motion for improved tooth life and crop pickup with less dirt content in the windrow than a traditional spring-loaded wheel rake.

• Dual-purpose lift and suspension cylinder on each rake wheel coupled with a nitrogen-charged accumulator for easily changing rake wheel settings and pressure.

• Unique rake design featuring one-piece rake arms – in conjunction with hydraulic suspension on each rake wheel – provides superior rake flexibility with less maintenance than similar-sized rakes that require a pivot joint and additional caster wheel in the middle of the rake arm.

• Superior vertical rake arm travel and ground contour following with the ability to flex 40 in (101.6 cm) down or 66 in (167.6 cm) up, equating to a range of motion of over 8 ft (2.4 m).
