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

The Vermeer R2800 Twin Rake is a hydraulically driven twin rake designed for efficient hay and forage windrow formation across a working width of 19 to 28 ft (5.8 to 8.5 m). This catalogue configuration is identified as an R2800 stacked with R2800 under reference R28525171. Hydraulic adjustment allows operators to set the raking width and windrow width for changing field conditions, while rubber-mounted rake teeth, large caster-type wheels, and a reinforced frame support dependable operation in demanding haymaking applications.

Efficient Twin-Rake Performance

The Vermeer R2800 uses hydraulically driven baskets to gather forage into consistent windrows. Its raking width adjusts hydraulically from 19 to 28 ft, helping operators match the machine to field layout, crop volume, and desired travel pattern. Windrow width is also hydraulically adjustable from 30 to 84 in (76.2 to 213.4 cm), providing flexibility when preparing material for subsequent baling or collection operations.

Grease-free windrow-width slide adjustments help simplify routine setup, while the rugged reinforced frame with round-section toolbars is designed to provide a durable foundation for field work. Large caster-type wheels support smooth movement across the field, and rubber-mounted rake teeth help the baskets engage the crop while supporting gentle handling of the forage.

Adjustable Windrow Formation

The R2800 is built to give operators control over both the machine’s operating span and the finished windrow. The adjustable raking width can be set between 19 and 28 ft, while the windrow width can be adjusted between 30 and 84 in. This range allows the rake to accommodate different crop volumes and downstream handling requirements without changing machines.

Each basket is 12 ft (3.7 m) long and uses 182 tines arranged across seven bars. The optional powered center splitter can provide additional configuration flexibility, while optional single-side raking supports applications where one-sided crop movement is preferred.
