With standard 60-inch rake wheels, a maximum raking width of 31 feet, and hydraulically operated folding from the tractor cab, the VRB16 helps cover large fields while providing practical transport dimensions. Its toolless ground-pressure and windrow-width adjustments support convenient setup in changing field conditions, while individual rake-wheel steel-spring flotation helps the wheels follow the ground. The VRB16 is suited to haymaking operations requiring broad coverage, adjustable windrow formation, and straightforward road transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEfficient High-Capacity Raking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VRB16 uses 16 rake wheels, each measuring 60 inches in diameter and fitted with 40 teeth. This configuration provides a maximum raking width of 31 feet, allowing operators to cover a broad working area during hay-gathering operations. The windrow width can be adjusted from a minimum of 36 inches to a maximum of 72 inches to suit crop conditions and downstream baling or forage-handling requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe rake folds and unfolds hydraulically from the tractor cab. Its high-capacity frame is designed with optimal ground clearance, and individual rake wheels use steel-spring flotation to help maintain ground contact. Ground pressure can be adjusted without tools, while a ratchet lever provides toolless windrow-width adjustment. An optional hydraulic adjustment circuit is available for windrow-width adjustment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-capacity bifold wheel rake for haymaking applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 rake wheels with standard 60-inch diameter wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum raking width of 31 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHydraulically opens and closes from the tractor cab\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40 teeth per rake wheel with 0.3-inch tooth diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable windrow width from 36 to 72 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eToolless ground-pressure adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eToolless windrow-width adjustment with ratchet lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteel spring flotation on each individual rake wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStandard highway lights and safety chain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional rake-wheel wind discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional single-side raking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional center splitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional tandem wheels\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\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-capacity bifold wheel rake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVermeer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVRB16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNumber of rake wheels\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRake wheel diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 in (152.4 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTeeth per wheel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\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\u003eMaximum raking width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 ft (9.4 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWindrow width range\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\u003eTransport width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.3 ft (2.5 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransport length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32.7 ft (10 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransport height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.4 ft (2 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTotal weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5,400 lb (2,449.4 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTongue weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,742 lb (790.2 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTransport tire size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e205\/75-R15\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHitch\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrawbar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlotation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSteel spring on individual rake wheel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHighway lights\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSafety chain\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRake wheel wind discs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSingle-side raking\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\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 VRB16 requires a tractor with a minimum PTO rating of \u003cstrong\u003e40 hp (29.8 kW)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
