Equipped with 55-in (139.7-cm) rake wheels and 40 teeth per wheel, the VR2040 is built to gather hay efficiently into adjustable windrows measuring from 36–72 in (91–180 cm). This catalogue variant specifies the optional two-wheel center splitter, providing a center-split configuration for flexible windrow management. With hydraulic flotation, standard highway lights, and a drawbar hitch, the Vermeer VR2040 is suited to operators seeking broad coverage and controlled hay raking with a tractor rated at a minimum of 60 hp (44.7 kW).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEfficient High-Capacity Hay Raking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VR2040 combines 20 rake wheels with a wide, adjustable working range to help cover substantial acreage during haymaking. Its ground-driven operation powers the rake wheels as the machine moves, while the 55-in rake wheels and 40 teeth per wheel support effective crop gathering. The raking width can be adjusted from 25 ft to 40 ft, allowing the machine to be configured for different field conditions, crop volumes, and desired operating patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe windrow width is adjustable from 36 in to 72 in, giving operators control over the finished windrow size. Hydraulic flotation supports the rake during operation, helping the machine follow field contours while maintaining the intended working position. The optional two-wheel center splitter included in this specified configuration adds a center-split arrangement for targeted windrow formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20-wheel high-capacity wheel rake\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25–40 ft (7.6–12 m) adjustable raking width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55-in (139.7-cm) rake wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40 teeth per wheel with 0.3-in (0.8-cm) tooth diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround-driven operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHydraulic flotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional two-wheel center splitter specified for this configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable 36–72 in (91–180 cm) windrow width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHighway lights standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional rake wheel wind discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTractor Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vermeer VR2040 requires a tractor with a minimum rating of 60 hp (44.7 kW) and a drawbar hitch.
