TOP 1252 C – with new features
The four-rotor-rake for profis
The rake is one of the most important links in the whole harvest chain. The working width and raking quality need to be ideally matched to the harvest machinery. For many contractors and large farms, the rake driver is the most important person in the whole harvesting operation. If mistakes are made during raking the productivity of the whole harvest convoy is affected - that costs time and, more importantly, money.
With the TOP 1252 C (working width of 8.0 to 12.5 metres), Pöttinger offers a 4-rotor rake in the highest professional class. Pöttinger rotary windrowers are the guarantee for excellent working quality. Perfect ground tracking and careful crop handling guarantee quality forage and outstanding productivity in the stall.
Pöttinger has upgraded the TOP 1252 C rake even further for the coming season. Three LED work lights are now available for the 4-rotor rake with ISOBUS-compatible Power Control system. These LED lights ensure best illumination of the work area for minimum power consumption. Two LED floodlights are mounted at the front point towards the front rotors while the third is mounted to the rear to illuminate the swath. The work lights can simply be switched on and off using the Power Control terminal; the floodlights switch off automatically when the machine moves into the road transport position.

 compressed air brakes as standard |
The TOP 1252 C is equipped with compressed air brakes as standard, offering maximum braking performance at high driving speeds. However, in the field the braking force is often too high; the rotors are on the ground and the weight acting on the main frame is alleviated. It can then happen that the rake brakes too sharply, which is a problem for farmers who use their 4-rotor rake on slopes. That's why this season all TOP 1252 C rakes with air brakes are fitted with a braking pressure regulator. The braking pressure regulator is engaged using the rotor lifting system. Braking pressure is reduced automatically when the rotors are brought from the transport position into the work position. The braking pressure is increased again automatically when the rake has finished a field and is brought back into the transport position. The correct braking force is always applied as a result, without the driver having to leave the cab or even think about it. Pöttinger again applies its slogan: make things easier for yourself.
The 4-rotor Top 1252 C rake delivers both proven technology, such as the Multitast ground-hugging wheel, as well as unique innovations: Hybrid technology (hydraulic drive in front, mechanical at the rear) featured on the Top allows the extension arm to be folded in for a transport height of just 4m without removing any tine arms or folding the safety guards. Time-consuming reconfiguration between jobs is now a thing of the past: you can move from the field to the road without leaving the tractor cab.
No oil check or oil change is required with the dust-tight encapsulated control unit because there are no leakage problems. Even the rotor transmission itself is encapsulated and runs in a sealed grease bath. The control shaft and cam roll can be removed quickly and easily if required by simply undoing just two bolts. High stability is ensured thanks to the wide spacing of the bearings on the tine arms.
The highest level of comfort is provided by the ISOBUS-compatible Power Control system, which takes the strain off the driver, thus increasing efficiency. The TOP 1252 C is available with hydraulic height adjustment for the rotor units. The height adjustment system is operated using the Power Control terminal and allows each rotor to be adjusted individually and the desired height to be saved. The current working height of each rotor is displayed on the monitor screen, giving the driver the highest level of comfort and user-friendliness.
