In an already crowded market, Polish machinery manufacturer Samasz is set to unveil a prototype of its Z4-1550 four-rotor rake at Agritechnica.
Said to offer an adjustable working width of 10.5 to 15m, it has a configuration of four 3.8m diameter rotors, each equipped with 15 tine arms.
Standard equipment includes active hydro-pneumatic suspension, a six-wheel ground-following chassis with adjustable wheel geometry of 180 or 360 degrees, adjustable cam track, and optional tyres in 600, 710 and 800 sections.
