Its adjustable rake width and angle, high-clearance frame, and rubber torsion toolbar suspension support practical field operation, while single-side raking capability allows the machine to rake from either the left or right side. With a raking width of 16.6–19 ft (5.1–5.8 m), the VR820 is suited to haymaking operations where coverage, windrow control, and transport convenience are important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEfficient Eight-Wheel Raking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VR820 uses eight 55-inch (139.7 cm) rake wheels to collect cut forage and form windrows. Each wheel has 40 teeth, with 0.3-inch (0.8 cm) tooth diameter, providing the working components needed for consistent hay gathering. The raking width can be adjusted from 16.6 to 19 ft (5.1 to 5.8 m), while the windrow width can be set from 31 to 80 inches (78.7 to 203.2 cm).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Field Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTool-free raking-width and angle adjustment helps simplify setup for changing field conditions and crop requirements. The rubber torsion suspension on the toolbar provides flotation, and rake-wheel down pressure is adjustable. This combination helps the rake follow the field while allowing the operator to tune the machine for the desired raking action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSingle-side raking is standard, with left- or right-side capability. An optional center splitter is also available and uses dual-angled, ground-driven rake wheels. Optional rake wheel wind discs can further extend the machine’s configuration options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEight-wheel carted wheel rake design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16.6–19 ft (5.1–5.8 m) adjustable raking width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e31–80 in (78.7–203.2 cm) adjustable windrow width\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTool-free raking-width and angle adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-clearance frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRubber torsion toolbar suspension with adjustable rake-wheel down pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-side raking capability for left- or right-side operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e55 in (139.7 cm) rake wheels with 40 teeth per wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGreaseable tapered roller bearings on rake and transport wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional center splitter with dual-angled, ground-driven rake wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptional rake wheel wind discs\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\"\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\u003eVR820 Carted Wheel Rake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarted wheel rake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNumber of rake wheels\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWorking width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.6–19 ft (5.1–5.8 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWindrow width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31–80 in (78.7–203.2 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTransport width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 ft (3 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTransport length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 ft (6.1 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTransport height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.4 ft (2.9 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTotal weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,370 lb (621.4 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTongue weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200 lb (90.7 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTransport tire size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eST205\/75D15\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\"\u003eCenter splitter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlotation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRubber torsion on toolbar\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 VR820 requires a tractor with a minimum of \u003cstrong\u003e30 hp (22.4 kW)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
