Oil-immersed gearbox. proline 10 mm diameter tine Operation The Vicon Andex Compact Line and proline Rakes are designed for maximum performance with minimum Andex proline Rakes feature a unique drive system, which comprises oil-immersed pinion and crown wheels. The fully enclosed design ensures full and permanent lubrication, and makes the entire system absolutely extensive experience guarantees well-proven technology of the highest standard. The hardened cam track is adjustable and features a fl at curve and an extremely large 400 mm diameter, giving positive guidance to the steel rotors and quiet machine bearing housings, with two integral ball bearings and wide support, provide solid and maintenance-free tine arm mounting.

2 Advantages: Oil-immersed crown wheel and pinion reduces wear to a minimum Pinion gear features two bearings for the driveshaft Crown wheel mounted on 4-point radial bearing Permanently lubricated steel guide rollers Flat 400 mm cam track, made from high- tensile SG iron Injection moulded aluminium tine arm support housings Generously dimensioned 10 mm diameter tine armsCompactLineThe Andex CompactLine Rakes feature oil-immersed cam discs and guide rollers. Also, the tine arm bearings are fully lubricated, and hence absolutely tine arm holders and two bearings on either side of the driveshaft, provide the compact unit with strength and dependability. Vicon-developed cam tracks are specifi cally tailored to individual rotor diameters, for opti-mum raking at any working width and on any Complete Range of RakesOutstanding DurabilityThe Vicon Rakes are equipped for maximum raking performance.

3 The CompactLine Rakes all feature 9 mm wire diameter tines, whereas the proline Rakes include heavy duty 10 mm wire diameter tines for outstanding Raking PerformanceWith up to 15 double tangential tine arms and up to 5 double tines per arm Vicon Andex Rakes are equipped for maximum raking performance. The high tine frequency ensures clean raking performance even at reduced rpm and high forward speed. Infi nitely variable cam track adjustment allows fi ne tuning to obtain optimum raking and swath formation according to crop proline Rakes , with up to 56 pairs of 10 mm tines, ensure excellent raking Ground FollowingAndex Rotary Rakes are designed to produce well-shaped and clean swaths, achieved by precision in every part of the raking. The ground contour following ability is important to avoid dirt in the swath - especially in uneven fi eld in 3 DimensionsThese high performance Rakes are fi tted with the TerraLink Quattro wheel system for superb ground contour following.

4 The TerraLink Quattro system controls the rotor in 3 dimensions, with a unique combination of an undercarriage with 4 wheels and a specially designed rotor suspension system. This ensures superb raking performance, even at higher forward speeds. TerraLink QuattroTerraLink Offers 4-Fold Advantages:The TerraLink system offers clear advantages over pivoting linkage systems: maintenance-free system - no pivots or joints to wear out. automatic rotor suspension, ensuring smooth operation. built-in pressure bias on front wheels prevents lifting and tine bounce. optimum ground following for clean raking at high forward speeds. All wheels are positioned close to the Quattro is a maintenance free system - no pivots or joints to wear design for easy 323-353-393-423(T)-433 CompactLineCompact Design, Low MaintenanceThe Compact RangeFor smaller raking operations, Vicon offers fi ve models designed for use on lower horsepower Tractors , whilst delivering similar raking performance to its higher specifi cation machines.

5 With the option of pivoting or fi xed three point linkage mounting and alsoa trailed version, there is a model to suit any need, from lowland farmer, to the user looking for clean raking performance, even when working on steep Compact Rotor HeadThe rotor head is grease lubricated. Within a fully enclosed housing, Themaintenance free cam track and camfollowers are running permanently lubricated in an oil bath. The rotor shaft and pinion shaft are all mounted on two bearingsfor maximum strength and long service Rakes can be set for reduced transport width by removing the tine arms and placing them on the carrier an option the Rotary Rakes can be equipped with a third wheel to improve ground contour pivoting 3-pt headstock ensures perfectground following performance, and perfect tracking when cornering.

6 Oscillation dampers are optionally Tine ArmsAll Andex CompactLine Rakes feature cranked tine arms for signifi cantly cleaner raking performance and optimised swath formation. This design ensures that the row of tines on each tine bar has a more effective approach angle to the oncoming crop, and also gives a cleaner lift out of the tine from the formed Andex 353 with m working width offers high performance with a simple but reliable a linkage mounted drawbar, the Andex 423T can be easily operated by low horse power Tractors . The machine can conveniently be raised up to a height of 50 cm from the tractor driver s Andex 393 with m working width for fast and effective raking action. A crank extension for height adjustment from the tractor cab is available for all 423-463 ProLineBuilt-In ReliabilityHigh PerformanceThe Andex 423 and 463 are high performance Rakes fi tted with the oil bath gear box.

7 The standard bogie wheels offer perfect ground contour following and minimises the amount of dirt collected in the swath. As an option these Rakes can be supplied with a third wheel, to ensure even better fl 463 proline single rotor rake with m working Hydrolift Height AdjustmentFor maximum operating convenience Andex423 and 463 are fi tted as standard with ahydraulic height adjusting facility - Hydrolift. From the tractor seat you can quickly set the tine height, to match the length of stubble or different ground conditions. No other supplier offers the same an option these Rakes can be supplied with a third wheel, to ensure even better fl height nitely variable cam track adjustment allows fi ne tuning, to obtain optimum raking and swath formation according to crop road transport or storage, the rotor guard frames are folded up close to the main frame, where they automatically lock into position.

8 An assistor spring linked to the swath defl ector reduces the effort 713T VARIO-713T EVO CompactLineThe Flexible Raking SolutionFlexible RakingThe Andex 713T VARIO and 713T EVO are designed for maximum fl exibility for raking in different conditions. The twin rotors, working independently from each other, makes it possible to collect either one large swath or two smaller night swaths. Alternatively the Rakes can place two large swaths into one, allowing a total of up to m crop to be gathered into one or EVO specifi cationThe VARIO version also offers the patented SideShift system as an option, which comprises electro-hydraulic control of all functions, as well as 12 tine arms on the rear SideShiftA special feature on the Andex 713T is the possibility to sideshift both rotors - both front and the rear - from the tractor cab.

9 With this patented system, raking along fi eldboundaries or around trees is no problem - as the tractor can run at a safe distance from the obstacles. It is also possible to drive with the tractor on already raked to the right - conveniently passing to the left - raking without driving on unraked new 713T VARIO with m working width and unique new SideShift TerraLinkCompletely maintenance- and wear-free: Quiet machine running due to automatic damping. Wide track bogies with large wheels provide perfect ground contour following. Trailed axle confi guration enhances quiet running and reduces tractor input power. Superb tracking in road Conversion from Working to Transport Confi gurationThere s no need to remove tine arms:moving the Andex 713T VARIO and 713T EVO to transport position only requires a simple operation on the control unit.

10 The swath defl ector will automatically fold clear, and transport width for Andex 713T VARIO and 713T EVO is only m (to reach m, the tine arms can be removed).With 50 cm lifting height, swaths can be driven over with no problem at all. Rotors are lifted using only a single acting Rakes are capable of placing small night swaths for hay 693 VARIO-693 EVO CompactLineThe Andex 693 Side Delivery RakeCompleting the CompactLine of side delivery Rakes , this compact and nimble rake features a sturdy frame and the well-proven TerraLink Quattro ground-following system. In addition the VARIO model offers the possiblity of putting together two swaths. With a working width of m, the machine Rakes up double swaths of up to m. There are 11 removable tine arms each fi tted with 4 tines which are curved to the unique Vicon design to enable cleaner raking.
