Vermeer R2300 Twin Rake – 18–23 ft Raking Width, Stacked with R2800 [R23340801]

The Vermeer R2300 Twin Rake is a hydraulically driven twin basket hay rake designed to form consistent windrows across an 18–23 ft (5.5–7.0 m) working width. Built with heavy-duty components, rubber-mounted rake teeth, large caster-type wheels, and hydraulic rake- and windrow-width adjustment, the R2300 is suited to haymaking operations that require efficient field coverage and flexible windrow formation. Its drawbar hitch, 35 hp minimum PTO requirement, and defined hydraulic requirements make it suitable for compatible tractors equipped for hydraulic implement operation.

Efficient Twin-Basket Raking

The R2300 uses hydraulically driven baskets to gather forage into windrows while allowing the operator to adjust the rake and windrow widths hydraulically. The working width can be set from 18 ft to 23 ft, while the windrow width can range from 36 in to 72 in. This provides flexibility for different crop conditions, field layouts, and downstream hay-handling requirements.

Rubber-mounted rake teeth are designed to support consistent crop gathering, while the grease-free windrow-width slide adjustments help simplify routine adjustment. Large caster-type wheels support field operation and transport, and the 9.5 ft (2.9 m) baskets provide the working structure for the twin-rake design.

Raking and Windrow Performance

The adjustable raking width allows the R2300 to cover between 18 ft and 23 ft per pass. Windrow width adjustment from 36 in to 72 in lets operators configure the crop placement for the intended baling or collection operation. The optional powered center splitter provides an additional configuration option where required.

Specifications

Tractor Requirements

The Vermeer R2300 requires a tractor with a minimum of 35 hp (26.1 kW) PTO power. The tractor must provide two double-acting hydraulic circuits with hydraulic pressure of 1,800 psi (124.1 bar) and hydraulic flow of 8 gpm (30.3 L/min). The tractor must also be equipped with a rollover protective structure (ROPS), seat belt, and upright exhaust system.

Hitch and Hydraulic Requirements

The R2300 uses a drawbar hitch and hydraulic drive. Confirm that the towing tractor meets the stated hydraulic capacity, safety-equipment requirements, and minimum PTO horsepower requirement before operation.
