PÖTTINGER TOP VT 12540 C — the four-rotor rake that raises the forage-harvesting bar

PÖTTINGER’s flagship four-rotor rake, the TOP VT 12540 C, is now available with the optional Profiline Comfort Control system. An ISOBUS touchscreen lets the operator lift any individual rotor with a single tap—no levers, no extra spool valves. This makes life easier on fields with isolated obstacles or wedge-shaped corners that demand asymmetric raking.

Agility and hillside stability

Engineered with mountain terrain in mind, the machine features a low overall weight, four- or five-wheel rotor chassis and the MULTITAST jockey wheel for smooth ground following without scalping. Hydraulic working-width adjustment from 10 m to 12.5 m lets you dial in the ideal swath width or feed rate for the baler that follows.

Smart electronics: Section Control and Overlap Control

Connected to a tractor with GPS Section Control, the rake automatically lifts and lowers rotors on headlands, preventing swath overlap. During turns, Overlap Control shifts the inner front rotor to guarantee complete coverage while hydraulically fine-tuning rotor pressure for even crop pickup.

Electro-hydraulic windrow-height adjustment

An extra option allows synchronous or individual height control of all four rotors from the cab. As the height changes, the MULTITAST wheel is auto-adjusted, keeping the optimum tine-to-ground clearance and minimising leaf losses.

One-touch transport mode

For road moves you press one button: rotors fold, arms retract and the frame locks, keeping transport height within European road regulations for farm machinery.
