Vicon introduces a new high end centre swath rake with a very robust design designed for operating in rough, demanding terrain. It offers up to 8.0m adjustable working width and very compact dimensions during transport.
The new Andex 804 offers 8.0m working width and 12 tine arms on each rotor. The working width can be hydraulically adjusted between 7.0–8.0m, leaving a swath width between 1.2-2.2m.
Durable Performance
The new Andex 804 is a versatile centre swath rake offering industry leading gearbox and main frame design. For enhanced durability the Andex 804 has been engineered with a stronger main frame design with material thickness having been upgraded 20% compared to the previous model. The ProLine oil bath gearbox is fitted with 8 fixed and 4 detachable tine arms and provides extremely reliable raking performance.
New Design Optimized for Transport
The Andex 804 masters both extensive working width and compact transport measures. The new design of the wheel axles allows adding generous 380/55 wheels as standard and still offering a transport width as narrow as 2.75m, making it the perfect match for narrow roads and tight gateways. Transport height is below 4m, even with all tine arms attached. No need to leave the tractor, just fold and go. Add in the 80° turning headstock and active wheel steering, and you have a highly manoeuvrable machine on road and in the field.
Comfort and Control
The Andex 804 includes comfort features such as hydraulic adjustment and setting of working/swath width, folding for transport width below 4m without leaving the tractor cab and actively steered axles supporting tight turns on headlands and during transport. The TerraLink Quattro system allows the rotor arms to flex and carefully follow ground contours, leaving an even and clean swath behind.
