TOP Single Rotor Rake
The Pottinger manoeuvrable single rotor machines are the ideal choice for smaller fields with a lot of corners. But they always deliver excellent working results, even on steep inclines.
For big output with small tractors, the TOP 422 A and 462 A rakes are also available as trailed versions.
The Pottinger TOP Single Rotor Rake is offered in multiple working widths, including 3.4 m, 3.8 m, 4.2 m, 4.6 m .

Clean & Tiding Raking Work
For clean and tidy raking work, the tines, rotor chassis and an additional jockey wheel outside the rotor are a well-matched team on TOP rakes. The tines lift the crop slightly to ensure it is swept cleanly without dragging the forage across the ground.

Maximum Uptime and Durability.
It is inevitable that large forces act on the rake's cam track and tine arms. To make sure the rotor withstands these loads for decades, the TOPTECH PLUS rotor unit from PÖTTINGER features a large and robust design: large cam track with shallow gradient ramps for less wear on the control levers and large tine arm bearing spacing for less radial load on each bearing.

Optimization of the Harvest Chain
The HARVEST ASSIST app, which is available free-of-charge from PÖTTINGER, optimizes forage harvesting for the best fermentation process in the clamp. By taking into account the crop volumes, the distance from the field to the clamp, and the compaction rate in the clamp, the app deploys the mower, tedder, rake and loader wagon in the field to optimise delivery to the clamp and avoid traffic jams. Available for iOS and Android, the app can be easily installed on any smartphone.
TECHNOLOGY
Tines
Tine engagement is on a vertical axis with the tine carrier. The special feature of the PÖTTINGER tines is that the tine leg is only at a slight angle. Due to the lower leverage, the tines do ride up over the sward, even with high volumes of forage, so all the crop is raked into the swath and nothing is left behind.
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.
MULTITAST Jockey Wheel
The MULTITAST jockey wheel system from PÖTTINGER detects bumps in the ground ahead of the outermost tine and tilts the rotor upwards when there is an incline. On top of the bump, it guides the rotor downwards until the wheel inside the raking arc takes over. This always provides the ideal gap between the tines and the ground. Forage contamination and raking losses are clearly minimised as a result.
TOPTECH PLUS Rotor Unit
The large cam tracks have a diameter of 350 mm or 420 mm, depending on the model. The cam track gently raises the control rollers to minimise the force acting on the rotor unit. Wear is greatly reduced as a result. You can be sure a long service life is achieved.
The smooth ramps make sure that the tines exit the swath ergonomically. This ensures that a loose and airy swath is placed. The raked forage can then continue to dry in the wind as a result.

TOP C Twin Rotor Rakes
TOP side rakes are your reliable partners in forage harvesting. Depending on the harvesting strategy, the swaths can either be placed separately, or two swaths can be placed together to double the forage volume. Depending on the model, a dual swath function is also available.
Choose between:
-
Side swath delivery without transport chassis (6.4 m to 7.6 m Working width)
-
Side swath placement without transport chassis (3.4 m to 8.3 Working width)
-
Center swath delivery with transport chassis (5.9 m to 9.60 m Working width)

"We have a TOP 662 with MULTITAST jockey wheel system. This allows the hay to be picked up cleanly from the ground without the tines scratching and digging into the soil. That's how we can prevent dirt ingress into the forage." - Christophe Chambon, Farmer

TOP C Four Rotor Rakes
The four-rotor rakes give you maximum output thanks to their large raking widths and the many well thought-out details. The enormous range of working width ensures maximum flexibility during operation. Clean and tidy work across the full working width is also guaranteed by the optional MULTITAST jockey wheel system.
