Its hydraulic drive, hydraulic flotation, individual rake-wheel suspension and adjustable wheel pressure support consistent field performance while helping the rake follow changing ground conditions. With a transport width of 10.5 ft (3.2 m), automatic field transport locks and standard highway lights, the VR1428 is suited to haymaking operations that require broad coverage in the field and practical movement between work areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEfficient, Adjustable Windrow Formation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VR1428 provides a raking width from 22 ft (6.7 m) to 28 ft (8.5 m), giving operators flexibility to match the rake to crop conditions, field requirements and desired windrow size. Windrow width is adjustable from 36 in (91.4 cm) to 72 in (182.9 cm). Fourteen 55-in (139.7-cm) rake wheels, each fitted with 40 teeth, gather material across the full working width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHydraulic suspension and lift cylinders are provided on each rake wheel. The wheel float range helps the rake follow field contours, while a nitrogen-charged accumulator allows rake-wheel pressure adjustment. These features are supported by hydraulic flotation and a hydraulic drive system for controlled operation across the working area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e14-wheel high-capacity wheel rake design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable raking width from 22 ft to 28 ft (6.7–8.5 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable windrow width from 36 in to 72 in (91.4–182.9 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHydraulic suspension and lift cylinder on each rake wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNitrogen-charged accumulator for rake-wheel pressure adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWheel float range for changing field conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic field transport locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRear wheels positioned close to the tractor during raking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-piece rake arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eToolbar flex of 36 in (91.4 cm) down and 48 in (121.9 cm) up\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHydraulic drive and hydraulic flotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHighway lights included as standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional center splitter with dual-angled, ground-driven rake wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional safety chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional rake-wheel wind discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eField and Transport Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rake’s rear wheels are positioned close to the tractor during raking, supporting the machine’s field configuration.
