The neat headstock features a yoke connection to the tractor linkages and a practical PTO shaft holder and hydraulic hose boom. The TOP 842 C allows a turning angle of 73 degrees to guarantee excellent manoeuvrability with the rake. With a rotor diameter of 3.70 m and 13 tine arms, the TOPTECH PLUS rotor unit combines proven technology with the latest innovations: On the TOP 842 C Pöttinger offers an adjustable cam track with the largest diameter of 420 mm and a tine arm bearing spacing of 700 mm. The tine arms are easy to replace using just two bolts. The new rotor unit guarantees higher power, strength and reliability at the same time as ease of maintenance. Despite the impressive rotor diameter, the transport height remains below 4 m without having to remove any of the tine arms. Using the hydraulic working width adjustment system, the two rotor units are moved into the correct position for folding ready for transport. Both rotor units are also locked in the transport position.

Warning signs with lighting and mudguards are provided as standard equipment, of course, and with wide 340/55-16 road tyres safe and rapid transport is guaranteed.

Pöttinger offers a perfect choice of rotor chassis: The 5-wheel chassis with or without MULTITAST jockey wheel. This unique, proven Pöttinger MULTITAST system delivers the best ground tracking and as a result less contamination in the forage. As demonstrated in the DLG Focus test, up to 25 percent raw ash can be avoided by using the Multitast system.

Operating the rake could not be easier: it is raised using one single-acting connection and one double-acting connection is needed for adjusting the working width. As an option, a flow splitter and individual rotor lifting system with convenient hydraulic interlock catches are also available.
