Its hydraulic flotation, hydraulic suspension, and individual lift cylinders help support consistent wheel contact across changing field conditions, while the wide adjustment range accommodates windrow widths from 36–72 in (91.4–182.9 cm). Built for high-capacity field work and practical transport, the VR2040 uses a drawbar hitch, automatic field transport locks, one-piece rake arms, and standard highway lights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh-Capacity Hay Raking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VR2040 combines 20 large 55-in (139.7-cm) rake wheels with hydraulic drive to cover a wide working area in a single pass. Each wheel uses 40 teeth with a 0.3-in (0.8-cm) tooth diameter. Hydraulic flotation helps the rake follow the field, while hydraulic suspension and a lift cylinder on each rake wheel support wheel movement and field handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA nitrogen-charged accumulator allows rake-wheel pressure adjustment. The toolbar provides 40 in (101.6 cm) of downward travel and 66 in (167.6 cm) of upward travel, helping the rake accommodate field contours. Automatic field transport locks support the transition between field operation and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e20-wheel high-capacity wheel rake design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHydraulically driven rake wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e25–40 ft (7.6–12.2 m) adjustable raking width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36–72 in (91.4–182.9 cm) windrow width range\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHydraulic flotation for field contour following\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\u003eOne-piece rake arms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40 in (101.6 cm) downward and 66 in (167.6 cm) upward toolbar flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomatic field transport locks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard highway lights\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDrawbar hitch\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-capacity wheel rake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVermeer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVR2040\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNumber of rake wheels\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRaking width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25–40 ft (7.6–12.2 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWindrow width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36–72 in (91.4–182.9 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRake wheel diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 in (139.7 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTeeth per wheel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTooth diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.3 in (0.8 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDrive\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydraulic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlotation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydraulic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHitch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrawbar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTransport width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 ft (3.7 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTransport length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 ft (11.6 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTransport height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.3 ft (1.9 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTotal weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6,780 lb (3,075.4 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTongue weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,840 lb (834.6 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTransport tire size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14L x 16.1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHighway lights\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSafety chain\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCenter splitter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTractor Requirements\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Vermeer VR2040 requires a tractor with a minimum PTO power rating of \u003cstrong\u003e60 hp (44.7 kW)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
