Vermeer R2300 Twin Rake – 18–23 ft Raking Width, Stacked with R2300 [R23340801]

Vermeer R2300 Twin Rake is a twin basket hay rake designed to form consistent windrows across an adjustable 18–23 ft (5.5–7.0 m) raking width. Hydraulically driven baskets, rubber-mounted rake teeth, and hydraulic rake- and windrow-width adjustments support efficient hay handling and adaptable field performance. The R2300 can produce windrows from 36–72 in (91.4–182.9 cm), allowing operators to adjust the finished windrow to suit crop conditions, baling equipment, and field requirements. Large caster-type wheels help support maneuverability, while optional equipment includes basket speed control, a powered center splitter, and highway lights.

Product Highlights

The Vermeer R2300 Twin Rake is built for hay producers seeking broad coverage and adjustable windrow formation in a twin-basket configuration. Its hydraulic drive system powers the baskets, while hydraulic controls allow the rake width and windrow width to be adjusted for changing operating conditions. Grease-free windrow-width slide adjustments help simplify routine setup and adjustment.

For transport, the R2300 measures 8.4 ft (2.6 m) wide, 21.8 ft (6.6 m) long, and 5.9 ft (1.8 m) high. The total machine weight is 3,220 lb (1,460.6 kg), with a tongue weight of 1,400 lb (635 kg). Transport tires are sized ST205/75D15. Highway lights are available as an option.

Specifications

Tractor Requirements

The tractor must provide at least 35 hp (26.1 kW) at the PTO and be equipped with a drawbar connection. Hydraulic requirements are two double-acting circuits, 1,800 psi (124.1 bar), and 8 gpm (30.3 L/min). Confirm that the tractor meets these hydraulic and towing requirements before operation.
