Vermeer R2800 Twin Rake – 19–28 ft Raking Width, Single [R28525171]

The Vermeer R2800 Twin Rake is a hydraulically driven twin basket rake designed for efficient hay gathering across a wide range of field conditions. With an adjustable raking width from 19 to 28 ft (5.8 to 8.5 m), the R2800 can be configured for different crop volumes and windrow requirements while producing windrows from 30 to 84 in (76.2 to 213.4 cm). This single-side variant reference, R28525171, is intended for haymaking operations that need flexible raking performance, hydraulic adjustment, and transport-ready dimensions. Rubber-mounted rake teeth are designed to engage the crop rather than the ground, while hydraulically driven baskets and reinforced frames support productive operation in demanding agricultural applications.

Flexible Raking Performance

The R2800 provides a working width that can be adjusted between 19 and 28 ft, allowing operators to match the rake to field conditions and desired output. Its windrow width is also adjustable from 30 to 84 in, giving hay producers control over the size and formation of the gathered windrow. This flexibility helps support different crop volumes, drying requirements, and baling or forage collection workflows.

The twin baskets use rubber-mounted rake teeth designed to engage the crop rather than the ground. This configuration is supported by 182 tines and 7 bars per basket, providing the working components required for consistent crop gathering. Hydraulic drive powers the baskets, while hydraulic controls are used for rake and windrow-width adjustment.

Hydraulic and Tractor Requirements

The Vermeer R2800 requires a tractor with a minimum of 70 hp (52.2 kW). The rake uses two double-acting hydraulic circuits and requires hydraulic pressure of 1,800 psi (124.1 bar) with a flow rate of 8 gpm (30.3 L/min). The implement connects using a drawbar hitch. Confirm that the towing tractor meets the stated horsepower, hydraulic circuit, pressure, flow, and drawbar requirements before operation.

Transport and Configuration

For transport, the R2800 measures 8.5 ft (2.6 m) wide, 24.8 ft (7.6 m) long, and 6.9 ft (2.1 m) high. The total weight is 4,540 lb (2,059.3 kg), with a tongue weight of 1,960 lb (889 kg). Transport tires are sized 11L-15. Hydraulic transport-width control supports transition between field and transport configurations. Highway lights are available as an optional feature.
