POTTINGER Enhances TOP VT 12540 C Four-Rotor Rake

Grieskirchen, Austria - POTTINGER Landtechnik GmbH., has launched an upgraded version of its popular TOP VT 12540 C four-rotor rake, now available with the advanced Profiline comfort control system. This powerful and agile rake, already praised for its safe operation on inclines and compact design, now gains a suite of intuitive features aimed at increasing user comfort and precision in the field.

One of the standout features of the upgraded model is the Direct Mode, which enables operators to lift individual rotor units with a simple tap on the display screen. This is particularly useful when navigating around obstacles, offering quick and precise control without interrupting workflow. For fields with irregular shapes, the Wedge-Shaped Swath Mode proves invaluable. This mode allows the front rotors to operate independently, with the corresponding rear rotor adjusting automatically as it reaches the same field point. This ensures efficient and uniform raking, even in awkward or asymmetrical areas.

Operators can also benefit from electro-hydraulic adjustment of the raking height directly from the tractor cab. This can be applied either to all four rotors simultaneously or to each rotor individually, depending on operational needs. In models equipped with the MULTITAST jockey wheel system, height adjustments are seamlessly synchronized with the rotor chassis for optimal ground following.

Profiline-equipped TOP VT 12540 C models now come with standard section control, enabling GPS-based automatic rotor lift at headlands for greater efficiency. Overlap control adjusts the inner front rotor during turns for consistent raking, while automatic weight alleviation optimizes ground pressure. A one-touch switch transforms the rake from work to transport mode by folding and locking the rotors securely.

POTTINGER’s TOP VT 12540 C four-rotor rake is known for its strong performance and smooth operation. With a four- or five-wheel chassis, MULTITAST jockey wheel, and hydraulic width adjustment (10–12.50 m), it ensures excellent ground tracking. Standard features include the Basicline control system, while the optional Profiline comfort control adds ISOBUS compatibility, intelligent automation, and enhanced convenience - making it ideal for high-output, demanding field conditions.
