Vermeer VRC820 Carted Wheel Rake – 8-Wheel, 17.2–20.1 ft Raking Width [VRC105301]

The Vermeer VRC820 Carted Wheel Rake is an 8-wheel hay rake designed for efficient, adjustable windrow formation across a range of field conditions. Its raking width adjusts from 17.2 to 20.1 ft (5.2 to 6.1 m), while tool-free adjustments allow operators to set both raking and windrow width without specialist tools. Built with a durable one-piece steel frame, fully welded tongue and frame, and patented rubber torsion suspension, the VRC820 is suited to haymaking operations requiring dependable field performance, flexible windrow placement, and straightforward transport between fields.

Efficient, Adjustable Hay Raking

The VRC820 uses eight 55-inch rake wheels, each fitted with 40 teeth, to gather crop into windrows. The windrow width can be adjusted from 32 to 94 in (81.3 to 238.8 cm), helping operators set the crop arrangement to suit baling and field conditions. Its high-clearance frame is designed to support practical operation in the field, while rubber torsion suspension on the toolbar provides flotation.

Flexible Operation and Adjustment

Single-sided raking is standard, with the ability to rake to either the left or right side. Tool-free raking-width, windrow-width, and hitch-height adjustments simplify setup and allow changes to be made without carrying additional adjustment tools. An improved hydraulic system synchronizes toolbar lifting and lowering, and automatic toolbar locking holds the toolbar in various positions.
