A Pöttinger TOP 852 C S-LI is a hay rake, a trailed agricultural machine designed for gathering and windrowing cut grass and hay across pasture and field operations. Pöttinger is an established Austrian manufacturer of grassland and forage machinery, known for precision engineering in hay and silage equipment used throughout European farming.
This used 2012 model features a working width adjustable hydraulically between 7.75 and 8.50 metres, allowing operators to adapt swath width to field conditions and crop density. The machine is equipped with two rotor assemblies, each carrying 13 tine arms with four tine pairs per arm, and a rotor diameter of 3.07 metres. Transport width is 2.85 metres, enabling road movement and field access through standard gateways.
The rake rides on a six-wheel chassis with a leading castor wheel for steering and stability. The tandem axle rear suspension supports ground-following capability across uneven terrain. Rotor height is adjusted mechanically, and individual rotor lift is controlled hydraulically to manage crop flow and prevent blockages. Hydraulic swath-cloth folding is integrated, permitting easy side-to-side adjustment of the discharge windrow. The machine operates on pneumatic (air) braking and requires two remote hydraulic control valves on the towing tractor.
The unit has a recorded operating history of approximately 1400 hectares and has had one previous owner. It is fitted with lighting for road use and carries mid-swath configurations for standard hay operations. The machine is located in Austria and is priced at $14,900.
